Iphone vs. Blackberry who would win in a fight?

I’ve been a blackberry fan/user for about a year now. I could rattle off tons of stuff that my blackberry pearl can do and how awesome blackberry messenger is…until now.

My blackberry pearl started giving me trouble two months ago. It started when it would just randomly delete texts. Then it started deleting important emails out of nowhere. Now… it is deleting contacts from my address book and my recent call list. So now nothing is safe if it is on my phone because at any given moment it can just delete it. (Even when saved!!). I thought it was just the pearl until someone I know who has a curve started having the same issue!

So as of yesterday I have joined the At&t network and bought an Iphone 3G. I am burying my blackberry somewhere deep in my closet and hopefully one night it doesnt grow legs and try and strangle me & my new Iphone in my sleep (considering the damn thing has a mind of it’s own already).

I was really on the fence about the Iphone and was actually considering going to Verizon so I could get the Blackberry storm. But then I realized…”why should I spend my hard earned cash on another product made by the same company that makes the pearl that is seriously f’ing-ml right now”. But there were a few down sides to the Iphone… the fact that you can’t get insurance on it. And I am proned to dropping..throwing…abusing my phone.  I know of a bunch of people who have dropped it at work on the marble floors and it shattered right down the middle of the screen. It is touch screen and with nails I wasn’t sure texting and working the Iphone would really work too well. But after some investigation I realized it’s not that bad and according to another friend of mine “…it’s awesome you can even do it when you’re drunk it corrects any misspelled words.”

 I also know of someone who was not satisfied with the At&t customer service at all… so I was scared that switching I might go from a great company (but shitty phone) to a shitty company (but awesome phone). But it wasn’t that bad at all. I joined online.  Joining for me required no deposit to get it (apparently they run a credit check and some people need to put money down when buying an Iphone). I kept my number and my new phone should be here on Wednesday.  Everything went so smoothly. At&t customer service was very helpful and answered all my questions.

Now that I have officially joined the Iphone madness I am so mad that I didn’t get it awhile ago. (Before blackberry) because of the awesome applications you can get on it. There’s wayyy more applications for the Iphone than for the blackberry. Here is a list of the applications I cannot wait to try out (or just think are very amusing)…

The “shot gun” constitution

The bug zapper

goMovies

Flashlight LED

iPhlickr

The list goes on and on… I really hope the Iphone doesn’t disappoint me. I have high expectations. But just like my great friend Erin said about my ex boyfriend… “A male prostitute would be better than him”… Im thinking the same about my new Iphone… ANYTHING is better than this unreliable piece of shit.

Although, something tells me if the Blackberry was to fight the Iphone… it would pick up a folding chair ghetto style and CHEAT. My $ is on the Iphone though… something about having morals and fighting fair that makes me believe there is good in this world. GO IPHONE!!!
