10 Ways BlackBerry Beats the iPhone

Choice of Carrier
We're not sure where AT&T is getting its claim of having "more bars in more places" (maybe the same wishing well where Microsoft got its "people-ready software"), but in our experience, in locales all over the country, AT&T's coverage is plagued by more holes than a Swiss cheese dartboard. Unfortunately, with the iPhone, you've got no other choice (at least for now). BlackBerry, on the other hand, is available on every major U.S. carrier, and loads of smaller ones, too.

Lame:
2. You don't need many model if it is good. There isn't a Storm until iPhone comes alone? If BlackBerry is such a good design, why Storm?
3. BlackBerry can multitasking. However, it also hang and pause your device momentary. I have to constantly close running apps to release resources. You call that feature?
4. It is a AT&T thing, not iPhone. Duplicate comment as 1.
5. Again, it is AT&T thing. Duplicate comment as 1.
6.

6. Agree on security part. It is just my company disable all the non approved app (it means all). My Blackberry doesn't do anything except making phone call and checking e-mails. Nothing would apply if that happens to those "cooperate users".
7. I rather to have big and beautiful screen than a tiny hard to use Qwerty keyboard which is not that much better than virtual keyboard.
8. Applications and many other stuff can't store in the memory card in BlackBerry. Limited usage for such expendable feature.
9. How many people actually carry extra batteries these days? And many using external battery pack instead of extra batteries because you can't reuse when replacing to a different phone and they are much easier to recharge.
10. AT&T issue again.
Basically, the argument here is if iPhone support all carriers, we can all replace BlackBerry except business users?

All those people out there who don't like Blackberries, you are soooooooo totally wrong. Sure, the keys are small, and people think the I-Phone is cooler, but before the I-Phone was invented what came before that? The Blackberry of course. If read in Wikipedia, you can see that President Obama votes for Blackberry, not I-Phone. So hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah HA! JK!!! LOL! (If you don't know what HA, JK, or LOL means, you kinda need to get your facts straight on the NEW 21 Century. See you around... I-Phone People... ;PPP

So, here are my thoughts...I live in Downtown Chicago in a condo where I think reception should be exceptionally GREAT, but I can't get service to save my life...therefore AT&T sucks, not the iPhone. I have had the iPhone for a few years now and can honestly say its the Best Damn Device Ever Created (as far as cellular phones go)...But not being able to deal with the horrible "bar" situation I feel like I have to move on...so where next, a BlackBerry. I know nothing about BlackBerries and never intended on becoming a owner, but I dont think Im left any other choice...I want something professional, but cool at the same time. I'm in my late 20's, and dont really find the "Cool" phones appealing (i.e. Sidekicks, Instincts, HTC stuff)...I dont need keyboards that slide up and come in a variety of colors...Just something Professional, Attractive, and can get the Job Done!!! I was thinking the new BlackBerry Bold 9700 might just do the trick. Any info, opinion was be taken into full consideration...Thanks
