iPhone vs blackberry - this moms view

Having been a previous supposedly die hard fan of the popular blackberry line of cell phones and as such an owner or three blackberries in a row I felt there was no other phone for me. Needless to say I loved how it felt in my hand, loved blackberry messenger and downloaded many apps.

However please note that is all in past tense. Due to the unacceptable amount of technical difficulties with my latest blackberry curve phone and the virtually impossible to use warranty program I decided to give the iPhone a try. There is no compareison in my mind between the two - texting is easier and faster, the download speeds are substantially faster and certain web pages that I thought were inaccessible on the Rogers network open effortlessly. PDF files are no problem for the iPhone whereas they were irritating at best and murderous rage inducing at worst using a blackberry. The calendar that comes as part of the basic iPhone package is extremely user friendly unlike blackberry's poor excuse for one and the available free apps blow the mind with the new iPhone. Honestly now the thought is not " I need my laptop because I can't do that on my phone" from the old blackberry days but are now " screw the laptop this bitching phone is faster"! In short you lose RIM because this mom will never go back!

The only shortcoming that kind off anoys the hell out of me with the iPhone is the autocorrect function - no I don't mean he'll when I say hell and really shut is a poor exchange for shit however at least when you really get pissed off the iPhone autocorrect doesn't tell everyone how much you hate your DUCKING phone unlike that other brand.
