Question Am I the only one?

Please Login to Remove!

Am I the only one that has an Iphone and a blackberry?

I see a lot of people saying that the blackberry is better or the iphone is better and I feel they both are great so I own both! I have a first gen iphone and an 8900 curve both unlocked (both without a data plan ) but I'm just wondering if I'm the only one doing this?

No, you are not the only one. Read the BlackBerry versus section -- I think some people with both posted there.

Nope. You just haven't looked around enough.

haha oops it slipped, but anyways I just read a lot of people get an iphone over the blackberry but like I said its nice to have both and I think a lot would feel the same if they could, plus you get used to the OS and understand what the fuss is about or why its good or why its bad

I think the BB is made mre for business use. There really aren't many add-ons that work well. There are plenty of them, but they just don't work well. The I-Phone is more for personal. You can add alot of apps for fun. It can be used in business, but I think the BB was geared more towards that.

I feel differently. I think the iPhone 3G and Blackberry devices work equally well in the business world. However, I use my iPhone as my business phone. It syncs perfectly and almost instantly using Microsoft Active Sync. Has great document viewing capabilities and has a much better browser (that you can zoom in with a pinch/flick) than the Blackberry devices. Also there is no Blackberry Enterprise Server to worry about or licenses to purchase. When a new user wants to configure their iPhone to our corporate Exchange server, I just email them a configuration file and in minutes they are good to go.
