Why I dumped iPhone and switched to a BlackBerry

Right now, the hottest and most talked about mobile phone in the market is the iPhone 3GS. iPhone 3G is well known for its cool and sleek design, easy of use and exceptionally good web browsing experience. Now, with the latest iPhone 3GS, this phone is made even better with a host of enhanced features.
iPhone 3GS new features:
- The “S” stands for “SPEED!”. This phone is now much faster in almost everything!
- 3 Megapixels camera with auto focus, auto exposure, and auto white balance.
- Supports video, 30 frames per second VGA with auto focus, auto white balance, and auto exposure.
- Better connectivity – Three band UMTS/HSDPA, Four band GSM/EDGE, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
- Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating!
- Magnetometer, which works with a Compass application.
- Voice control.
- Increased battery life.
Too much new features to list here, you might just want to read it on Apple.com.
With all these great features, you would expect I to love iPhone 3GS forever, but well, maybe not anymore… see why below! 
Hey, I can SMS with US President Obama better on the Blackberry!
Wahahaha…
Okay, seriously. iPhone 3GS or Blackberry is your choice? Why? Share with us your preference and thoughts.

imDavidLee,
Pricing is roughly as below:
iPhone 3Gs 16GB – RM2900.00
iPhone 3Gs 32GB – RM3300.00
Afif,
Would like to read more about your iPhone! How is it?
LEon,
Correct. No point for you to get iPhone or Blackberry if you only use the phone to receive/make calls, sms and other basic stuff.

Blackberry is more serious for businesspeople except those in artistic career

I have neither but I’m looking to get Nokia E71/72 which is about the same with Blackberry due to the QWERTY. I think it’s easier for me to type mail, send messages, Twitter and also jot down some of the ideas I have for comics n scripts n stuff.
For IPhone, it’s a multimedia phone with lotsa functions but some are not so applicable to me. It’s fun and cool but why get it when I hardly use it? Oh, and the price tag is not attractive to me at all

I already find my “hardly ring once a day” SE phone bulky, so no chance for iPhone or BlackBerry or PalmPre.
Anyway, I do use Vaio P for mobile computing/surfing and entertainment..
Btw, iPhone by maxis is definitely unreasonable.

I choose Blackberry. iPhone is nice because the name sounds nice. The design and features are nothing special at all.
You can share your posts at: ArticlePinger.com too. Have a nice day.

kruel74,
You are right. It has more business or productivity related application. While iPhone is more fun to use with a lot of general application.
Alvin Lim,
Nokia should be quite good too. Other competitor phones to check out are HTC line of touch screen phones.
ahyuen,
I guess phone for you might not be useful to receive calls then, you should get an entertainment phone. So iPhone should suit you best. Got iPod features and plenty of fun games and application to entertain you.
But I guess at your house you don’t need an iPhone to keep you entertained anyway…

I guess I’m in the group that would like a fancy phone like this but just don’t have the need. I’ve played around with the older iphones and they were pretty cool. I just can’t justify the price tag just for very basic usage. These advanced cell phones will just keep getting better and better though. So maybe a 2 or 3 versions down the road I’ll splurge on one.

I am inclined to hang back a bit and wait for the latest offerings from the other MAJOR mobile players to start rolling in. Go and trawl the technology and gadget blogs and be prepared to be blown away!!!

What? President Obama is marketing Black Berry? That’s cool and yeah seems to be a good reason to buy a black berry too, right KitKat?
To be frank, I literaly had to use my hands to close my jaws when I saw the live stream of the official launch of iPhone 3GS, we have to agree, that thing is a BOMB!

iPhone is for kids, real smartphones are for adults. That’s all there is to it. Sure iPhone is “oh so pretty” and it has all those sweet useless apps but it doesn’t perform well as an office phone. Personaly I use Nokia E71 and I’m extremely happy with it.

All hail the crackberry (that name is a joke with me and my friends). Haha the iphone is overrated, as are many things.

Time has changed. Apple is forbidding iPhone users to install Google Voice app on the device.
This smart phone is essentially a computer with operating system and an ability to install third party software like any other computer. When I called Apple, tech support representative informed me that Apple does not have to explain why they are forbidding me to install Google apps after I purchased device planning to use it with Google Voice. She also informed me that App Store is like any other store has right to choose what they put on their shelves.
Well, I respect their choice, but the last time I checked in my neighborhood mall none of their stores are FORBIDING me to use products from anywhere else but from their store. Does Apple respect my choice? Communist China government did not dare to make Lenovo give me a list of software I can install on my laptop. Lenovo respects my choice because they know what will happen with their laptops if they would try to deny this choice to people in free world.
Just imagine what would happen if Microsoft make an agreement with Comcast and set up a list of software you are allowed to install. What if they allow you to connect to internet only through Comcast? What if Comcast decides they not like some software and a week later Microsoft would FORBIDS using it without any meaningful explanation? That would definitely be considered mafia-like behavior and nobody would tolerate it.
We are not tolerating this behavior neither from China, US government, Microsoft, nor from Comcast. For how long are we going to tolerate this behavior from Apple? I erased my iPhone, I smashed it with hammer and I will send it on Monday to Steve Jobs, c/o Apple 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino, CA 95014

Once you jailbreak the iphone it has soooo much more potential. I prefer it over the BB and I have both

Unfortunately, I don’t have an iphone yet. I will soon get one. Does anybody have any suggestion before the purchase?

I love my iPhone but I have to disagree about the S. Mine is terribly slow because my 3G reception is awful, I sometiimes wonder if I would have been better of with a blackberry but I just love the Apple interface myself.

i am wondering weather to wait for the new iphone 4g or get a blackberry…. my mates seem to have an equal number of iphones to blackberrys so that doesnt help me to make a decision… guess ill just have to wait and see

I think that ultimately the Blackberry is slightly cheaper than the iPhone, especially if you settle for a smaller model. So the choice here would be price relative, if I was making the purchasing decision myself. If I could warrant the expense, the iPhone 4G is what I’d ultimately like to get.

I reckon in comes down to whether you are a games person or email person. Both are very different devices, iPhone trumps on the apps while Blackberry is hard to beat on the email. I dropped my iPhone some time back but I don’t miss it enough to go out and buy another one.
