Reasons why the iPhone is no BlackBerry

Over at the crackberry.com they posted a very good comparison of the BlackBerry and the iPhone. This should help people to decide what device they ant to get. Note: This is a pro BlackBerry site so take some comments not to seriously.

On a side note: I have been using a BlackBerry for over a year now (first a 7xxx one and now a Curve) and I have to say I like the Curve a lot. Currently I am using a Nokia N95, which is also a good phone, but compared to a BlackBerry it just can’t scope. Especially the battery life is horrible. Using Mail for Exchange, Fringe and the N95 is ready for recharge within 6 hours! And I am talking about a brand new phone here.

I thought I would never say this, but it takes a lot to beat the BlackBerry easy and use. And if the OS 4.5 will come out, which finally brings HTML eMails to the BlackBerry it will be THE device for communication usage.
