Blackberry vs. Anything... -
10-27-2008, 04:12 PM
I've been using PDA's since the early 1990's. Palm was legendary for doing four things really well; contacts, calendar, tasks and memo's. Then Palm got stuck on stupid and, well, the rest is history. I finally threw in the Palm towel over a year ago.
Then I had a WM device (Q9m) for a year. Oh god, there's 373 days of my life I can't get back.
After much hand-wringing, wailing and gnashing of teeth (and that was just my wife) I finally broke down and got myself an 8330.
I've had it since early September. It hasn't been turned off or rebooted or battery removed or thrown into the ice cube maker since then.
The Blackberry is, for me, what the Palm devices were in the early days. Very stable, very functional and a near perfect user interface.
Although I'm a geek, for me, stuff has to be functional. I don't have stuff for the sake of having stuff. Like a good pair of shoes, I hope my 8330 lasts a loooong time, because (in my best Forrest Gump) it sure is comfortable.
And that's all I got to say about that...

I don't know about that. I have a 8100 Blackberry and I have seen and played around with the iphone. It is pretty cool but I am in love with my little blackberry. I wouldn't trade it for a iphone. But that's just me.
