And that is what the BlackBerry service fee is for. The iPhone is an entertainment and personal device and does not possess many important and KEY business features like document editing and PUSH email. IPhone may possess a app for documents but the lack of a tactile keyboard makes editing them frustrating. I possess both phones, one for my work and the office and the iPhone for my life outside of work. While it is a neat device it is not equip for the corporate world. you’ve failed to address the fact that the iPhone’s communications are unencrypted.

BBs can't even mimick the experience you will get from iPhone's LCD panel. APPS -- Choice of available [free] games on AppStore can't even be compared to the slim choice of Blackberry AppWorld. Compare 300,000+ apps for iPhone to ~10,000 apps for Blackberry. Social Networking -- Facebook is like 99% percent functional on iPhone, whereas Blackberry wouldn't even allow you to use it unless you pay them by subscribing to their additional service. (extra $10 to your monthly bill that goes to the manufacturer, not your service provider. So they came up with Blackberry phones, and now I have to pay them every moths for using their phone for the rest of my life? This i just personally don't get. It's greed.) Communication -- application like Skype is available for free even for iPod touch, whereas for Blackberries -- you have no choice but to be a Verizon (l)user. iPhone has free texting apps, whereas BB has nothing to compensate its expensive service contract! Data Usage -- with iPhone, you can get a plenty of apps that work offline that won't eat up your MBs. With BB, you MUST be connected to the Internet to use any app. One example, both iphone and BB has dictionary.com apps, but on iPhone you can look up a word without connecting to Internet, while BB will require Internet even to start the app. Think of how much you will end up paying for data plan for BB. A LOT. Durability -- okay, maybe BB Bold's leather back looks sexier than iPhone's plastic cover, but it's not as durable as one may think. BB gets easily jammed while iPhone is almost completely sealed off. iPhone has water- and oil-resistant finish, while BB has a trackball (that I lost somewhere in my pocket, btw)! Maybe BB has some appeal to corporate users. But if you want to get a gadget that is more than a phone -- iPod, an Internet device, personal computer and a game console -- go for iPhone.
