10 Reasons To Purchase A Blackberry Rather Than An Iphone

By Jerry Le Bon

When choosing a smartphone it can be difficult to base your decision on facts rather than media hype and peer pressure. This is particularly true of Blackberrys and iphones where they are as much about status as what they can actually provide their users. This article explains why the Blackberry is more superior and cites 10 areas where it's better than the iphone.

1. With a 3.2 megapixel camera the Blackberry has by far the best camera of all the smartphones, particularly the iphone which only has a 1.2 mega pixel camera.

2. The iphone has no moving parts so you can't replace the battery with a more charged battery should you be running low.

3. The headphones that come as standard on the Blackberry are very good quality and are far better than those that come with the iphone. It means you don't have to incur the extra cost of replacing them.

4. The screen of the Blackberry is far superior to that of the iphone. It is estimated to have 12.5 percent more picture element that the iphone and also has a more traditional screen ratio of 4:3

5. Unlike to iphone, it's possible to use the Blackberry as a USB dongle and attach it to a laptop to provide internet connection over GPRS. This isn't a feature the iphone has.

6. Apple iphone's are built on the Mac operating system and are therefore an easier target for hackers. A significant number of iphone users have lost a data and contact information this way.

7. With it's microSD slot it's very simple to nsert a 16GB memory card to bring it to the same level as it's competitors.

8. The Blackberry is far better with dealing with emails. It automatically connects with the internet servers whilst the iphone has to wait for emails to be 'pushed' to it.

9. It's not possible to send picture messages on a iphone due to a over sight by the Apple developers. It is possible on the Blackberry and most other smartphones for that matter.

10. The QWERTY keyboard that comes with all Blackberry's make it very easy for new users to pick up the skills required to type quickly. The touchscreen pad on the iphone is quite difficult, particularly for older users to understand.
