iPhone Vs. Blackberry Touch

So my manager thought it would be a good idea to get a Blackberry Touch, and obviously with me having the iPhone there would be a comparison war coming up ...

Well we had this debate with both phones side to side and the outcome was only going one way ...

The iPhone won hands down ...

So the Touch has Wireless Email ... That is one plus over the iPhone for Hotmail users but with 3G coverage, getting to "Hotmail.com" is quick enough to combat this.

The iPhone has a FULL Web Browser, The Touch seems to have some sort of wierd web browsing I had back on an old Nokia, no pictures just text that you click to get to the next block of text to scroll through.

The Touch trumps the iPhone on Mega Pixels for the camera the Touch weighs in with 3.2 and the iPhone with only 2.0, this seemed pointless when we took a picture of the same thing using the 2 phones and the iPhone version came out much clearer.

The "Media Player" n the Touch seemed "Clunky" to use and didnt seem to flow with the layout this coubled with only 1Gb of memory on board that could be expanded via a Micro SD slot seemed a Bit outdated and surpising as they could have easily fitted 8Gb into the phone.

The thing that the Touch absolutely trounces the iPhone on is the MMS service although depending on how many pictures you want to send/receive this could go either way.


After being called a "Blackberry Touch" you would have thought they would have nailed the Touch screen ... Wrong, for some reason when in the menu you touch the Icon you want to access but this means nothing, you then need to press the whole screen in to access the sub menu, this whole process feels slow and sluggish

After about a month with the phone my manager has now came to the decision that he no longer likes the phone as it seems sluggish especially within the menu. What phone should he have got? Well in my opinion, he's missed the boat on the iPhones superiority over anything at the moment.
