Blackberry Storm vs Iphone - Comparison Chart

[Heist]

Pretty fair and unbiased.

- Iphone is ever so slightly larger with a slightly larger screen and an lighter(??? -larger battery in BB?)

- Iphone has integral WiFi, Berry does not.

- Iphone has more colors (16M vs 65K) but less pixels (Something tells me Berry is using a shading alogrithym to double up and "duplicate" colors it can't natively display. And, frankly at that screen size 16M colors is overkill and barely noticeable but that's the Job'sonian way.)

- Berry has an hour more talk time and you can remove the battery.

- Berry's memory is upgradeable.

- Berry has Qwerty and SureType along with the feedback touchscreen (I tried this on Alpine Touch Screen head units. Good stuff )

NO WIFI???? WTF!!!? How that happen??

 

[Fiya Ant]

No Wifi?


iPhone wins again.

 

[Perplex]

iphone would win regardless, because no one can fuck with the apps

 

[Legacyns]

Is blackberry full or mobile web...

WIFI might not be that big of a deal if you have full web w/ a data plan....

 

[mr cee]

I didnt know until yesterday you can't even copy and paste on and iPhone, thats an epic fail.

Hacked/Jailbroken Iphones have a copy and past program and a video recorder....

 

[dzlkdd]

what's the latest word on dropped calls for the iphone?

 

[Heist]

Why should you have to Hack/Jailbreak a $300 phone and VOID its warranty just to get a simple CUT & PASTE function which has been apart of damn near every O/S since 1980?!

FAIL!

It's Full Web....

You can go mobile only if you know the URL though ... m.myspace.com or some shit.

 

[kboogs]

I don't have either phone, but I would still get the I-phone based on the specs and what I would "practicaly" do with it.

No Wifi?


iPhone wins again.

No tethering,

Blackberry wins again.

 

[superDOPE]

whats the deal with wanting something with removable microsd cards?

that shit is too much trouble, switching those things in and out constantly. if 16 gigs isnt enough for a cell phone then there's something wrong

 

[Heist]

Wifi's no big deal. I never understood why people get crazy over it.
It's a nice to have - not a must have.
I mean do you REALLY want to be riding on someone elses open and unsecure network nowadays?

And then if you do find a locked network, you usually have to pay to get on it (Starbucks) which completely defeats the purpose of PAYING FOR A DATA PLAN.

starbucks wifi is free.

but wifi is mainly a luxury/extra.

...unless you dont have 3G i guess

 

[shat11]

No Wi-Fi? that right there destroys blackberry's phone.

Iphone wins.

Not free around me at Starbucks.

Tmobile Hot Spot, you either have to buy something at Starbucks or pay to use it.

And I'm on Tmobile

ehhhhh you may have a point there. As long as they improved the browser, which was my only problem with blackberry...then im all in

thought there was no warranties on iphones

no cut n paste?? Now Thats a fucking fail!

 

[Heist]

There's a warranty on Iphone - but god is it restrictive.

Basically if you don't do everything Apple and AT&T want you to do, the way they want you do it, when they want you to do it --- BYE BYE!

You've violated your warranty.

Apple even has the ability to FORCE you to take shit off your phone and FORCE updates WIRELESSLY!

Sorry, that's not a level of access I'm willing to give ANY manufacturer after I purchase their product.

Exactly... I think people are thinking laptop more so than smart phone. Most, if not all, phones these days access the web w/o needing wifi but just a data plan from the service provider. So, if blackberry has full web you really have no use for wifi.


I'll be upgrading to the blackberry storm from the curve..

 

[Heist]

Yep, precisely. A nice to have - not a need to have.

 

[Devilstrider]

is sprint getting the storm?

 

[kurrupt]

I wonder what tmobile getting
Are they getting the bold,storm,thunder,lightning? wtf!??

 

[Heist]

Tmobile's been slipping a bit lately.

They were trying to push those bullshit HTC's for a minute.

Then the Sidekick experiment turned out to be a fad.

They wanted and got the exclusive release of the Google phone.

They're not getting the Bold to my knowledge and instead getting that bullshit Blackberry Pearl Flip.

So something tells me we on Tmobile my have to Grey Market import it unless they're parent company Deutsche Telekom steps in and starts leveraging RIM to get them "the good shit."

sidekicks are for h.s kids and artist that try to appeal to them..but anyway thats neither here nore there.
So if we get the Storm open/grey market we can just transfer our service from our previous berry device to that??
Will it even work properly? I use my berry primarily for emails

WOW really? i guess it varies by area/city. cause it is definitly free in my area.

interesting.

Freedom.

One of my memory cards is used just for movies/xxx flicks and the other is used for mp3s/file storage.

Swapping out a card is a small price to pay.

 

[Efkie]

Does the black berry support Activesync just like iphone and HTC does ?

Yes. All you do it remap everything to the new berry from your carrier's blackberry specific website.

And if you're on a Corporate BES, your tech staff should be able to do the migration for you no prob.

Precisely. Try expanding your memory on an Iphone.

Better yet, since it's Flash based, it's completely stable and the access times will be superfast.

Bump
