Its simple. Productivity.

This is not meant to be a features based comparison between the iPhone and one of Blackberry’s leading devices, the Bold. And its not meant to describe which unit has the coolest games or nicest apps or any of those items. Cause if it was, then hands down the iPhone would win out (well maybe not hands down).

Its simply about getting stuff done and in a simple and convenient way.  No smartphone out there can compare with the blackberry smartphones for email functionality, the BIS and BES toolkit takes email with its push technology to another level.  It always amazes me that I get the email first on my Blackberry device before I receive it on my desktop computer.  Now that’s efficient.

Let’s get down to why the Bold is a superior productivity device:

• full QWERTY key pad, much better than Apple’s touch screen keypad
• SureType technology even completes your sentences for you and learns as you use it
• easy to keep track of multiple email accounts
• a dream if you are a talk and text fan; if you are a heavy texter then you need your keypad
• speed on the go, single key speed dial functionality

And the best secret out there is the blackberry messenger which allows blackberry users to “PIN” other blackberry users, free of any network charges! Now that’s cool.

I also love the quick icon downloads feature which allows my favorite website links to be placed on my mobile desktop for quick access. So I can easily bookmark and access my key websites with one click. No fancy tech here, just quick and easy access.

Not to mention the ease of cut and pasting (the new updates for the iPhone has finally included cut and paste functionality).

So in short, while the iPhone is an iconic device and many live and die by it, give me my blackberry any day, I just would like to be productive and get my stuff done.
