Why I am NOT using iPhone for now
I think two major smartphones here in the new york city are blackberry and iPhone. Every morning I ride in the subway, I see 4 types of people who are either
1) Doing something with blackberry
2) Doing something with iphone ipod
3) Reading books
4) Doing nothing
By the way, despite of many attractions iPhone has, such as multi touch function and friendly UI, I am not using it for now as it lacks the actual keyboard which is a crucial part for me. I once tried pocket pc without keyboard and I really hated it with this single reason. (I love SONY Clie TG 50 and the main reason is same - the device has a keyboard. Why they stopped creating Clie!!)
I am using blackberry curve and I totally love it because.....
1) It has a nice keyboard (easy to type with my big fingers, better than clie)
2) It's sound email system. Blackberry is by far I think the best mobile device for handling emails.
3) Google map enables it to serve as mini navigator
4) Google sync - you can sync google calendar and blackberry. This is absolutely fantastic!!!
Are you in favor for blackberry ? Or you like iPhone?
