Quiz: Blackberry or iPhone?

Blackberry has better email (push), security, durability (no touchscreen to smash), Multitasking, MMS, and you can use it on any carrier.
I used an iPhone and evetually sold it. What a POS. Yes it's shiny and is stupid-easy to use, but I felt it wasn't reliable or secure enough. The apps were gimmicky. I'm surprised it has sold as much as it has. AT&T is also a steaming pile of FAIL.
Those fanboys can keep their iToys but I'll stíck with a BB...

All around, the iPhone beats the Blackberry. ALL AROUND. I had a Blackberry Pearl for a long time, and then a Blackberry Curve for about a year. After my Curve broke for the second time, and thus couldn't be replaced via the warranty, I decided to try the iPhone. It is so amazing that Blackberry is still doing business. The only reason RIM remains AT ALL relevant is because of older people that are either technology resistant or remain slow to accept a change in what they know and are thus comfortable with. It's SO blaringly obvious that the iPhone is a better product if you try out both side by side. I mean, Blackberry phones still have a pretty difficult time loading web pages properly. In my opinion, the survey above is ludicrous. The iPhone unequivocally beats a Blackberry Point for Point in each of the above questions. RIM needs to dramatically step up their game if they want to hold onto the quickly-fading idea that they are the status-quo for any type of phone, business-related or otherwise.

I have had both the iPhone and the Storm for about four months now. (iPhone for personal, BB for work.) And I can say hands down the iPhone is a better product. The apps available for the iPhone make the biggest difference. The Storm is also not as user friendly and more difficult to type on.
