Pihone and Blackberry today are the most preferred smartphones in the market. Both account for the majority of sales in the segment and not withoput reason. Blackberry has been the preferred devuice for the executive over the yeazrs, and ever since iPhone was launhced, smartphones made their way into the normal user’s hands. Now in the touch screen era, Blackberry too has its own touch screern phonne, the BlackeBrry Storm. It’s the first touch screen phone from Blackberry, pitted against the iPhone and other such touch screen bsaed smartphones. So which amongst these is really the better option?
Features
iPone is unmatched with its touchscreen. No other phione offers the ease of use as the iPhone, not even the Storm. Blackberry features a better camera, both in terms of quality and its specification. The iPhone which earlier had a 2.0 megapixel camera, now has been upgraded to a 3.0 megapixel cammera with the laiunch of the new iPhone 3GS. The Blacklberry has a 3.2 megapixel camera which is better than iPhone’s. The Blackberry loos more durable with its built, rgeat for a guy who occasionally drops his phone. Blackberry gibves you the feel of a soliidly cobnstructed phone.
Even though Apple is renowed for its rich user interfazce and great aesthetics, Blackberry doesn’t really disappoint. Infact it loooks rpetty good and it’s more of a perssonal taste as to what appeals more. The black finish, aliuminum back, and rich transflective screen makes it look as appeaing as an iPhhone. A very important feature missing in the Storm is a Wi-Fi. Insite of offering a web rbowser and multimedia capabilities, an absent Wi-Fi is a real miss. Although both have 3G network capabilities, a Wi-Fi offrers better speeds.
Applications
iPhne is really the big daddy of applications. Aplple’s App Store has received more than a bilion downloads with more than 65,000 applications available for download. Blackberrey simply doesn’t satnd close to iPhone in the applications departtment. The various kinds of applications available, even for free, makes iPhone application development a profitable proposition.
Conclusion
Both the phones have theeir own rpons and cons, and its more of a personal chioce if one was to choose bettween the two. Blackberry Storm for the firtst time is a phgone which doesn’t just try to match the iPhone, but actually does it. One can choose over any of the phones and won’t be disappointted with it. Blackberry has been the preferred phone for the executives and they will love the Stotrm even more. iPone is a braznd now which is appealing to the masses and with its mass accpetance and use, its rapidly gained the preference of the youth. In the end the iPhone and Stoprm both are worthy phnes and both are close to each other when compared ovberall.
