Apple iPhone 3G HSDPA vs Blackberry

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Apple iPhone 3G HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) version will be great but will it make me leave my Blackberry 8820?

Apple’s new iPhone with 3G networking is going to be a winner. It will enable broadband like speeds over the mobile phone network which previously struggled to reach dial up speeds. It will make mobile internet, true internet fast and accessible.

I am a proud owner of a Blackberry 8820 on Orange. I use the internet a lot but the speed and somewhat limited browser can cause issues sometime.

Although unlike, the iPhone, the Blackberry 8820 has a full QWERTY keyboard which after an initial learning curve you can get a decent words per minute ratio. The iPhone text entry method, all be it innovative is not as good as having tactile keys to press.

I think I shall wait for the new Blackberry, the Blackberry Bold! Or at least until I can justify to my wife that I need a Blackberry and an iPhone.
