IPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS or any Blackberry?

Question

Which of these phones would be the best for a 16 year old guy? Also what would be a good company + plan to go with?

Answer 1

“I spent a month with an iPhone 3G and a BlackBerry 9000 Bold (the professional model that RIM recommended as the best to compare to an iPhone) to see how well each would fare in my daily grind. In doing so, I also had the chance to compare the two devices in depth: mail to mail, phone to phone, browser to browser, and thumb stroke to touch-tap. In short, I evaluated them based on everything from classic PDA functionality and usability to location-based services and availability of third-party apps,” Galen Gruman reports for InfoWorld.



“And how do they stack up? Frankly, I’ve concluded it’s time to bury the BlackBerry. A revolution in its time, thanks to its ability to provide instant, secure e-mail anywhere, the BlackBerry has become the Lotus Notes of the mobile world: It’s way past its prime,” Gruman reports.



“I was shocked to discover how bad an e-mail client the BlackBerry is compared to the iPhone. And the BlackBerry is terrible at the rest of what the iPhone excels at: being a phone, a Web browser, an applications platform, and a media presenter,” Gruman reports. “With its Windows 3-like UI, tiny screen, patched-together information structure, and two-handed operation, the BlackBerry is a Pinto in an era of Priuses.”



RIM’s “iPhone-copying attempts so far — the BlackBerry Storm and App World — reveal that RIM fundamentally doesn’t get it and is well on its way to becoming the Lotus Notes of mobile,” Gruman reports. “The BlackBerry is yesterday’s mobile messenger, way past its prime and heading toward retirement. The iPhone is light-years ahead of the BlackBerry on almost every count. RIM should be ashamed.”



Gruman reports, “Let me show you point by point why most people — most companies — should retire their BlackBerrys and adopt iPhones.”

Answer 2

I have had all three phones and think all of them have their strenghs and weaknesses,



With the blackberry, theyre good for chatting and texting, but prove shocking in things such as internet browsing. If you really want a phone to go on the net with and really don't need physical keys or corporate email get an iPhone.



The 3gs is somewhat outdated and has been on the market for a year. It lasted me great over the year that I used it and is a great phone for a teenager. The iPhone 4 basically is just a different design with a better camera so if youre willing to fork out the extra 100 bucks for more memory, better camera and from IMHO a better design go the iPhone 4. But the design has been subject to some flaws due to the glass on both sides and the reception issues but all in all it is a really decent phone.



However after using all of these phones the one that I have fallen in love with the most is the Samsung Galaxy S which is by far the best phone out there IMO.

because you say you're into company then i'd actually decide on the Blackberry ambitious 9700. It comes with presentation purposes and is uncomplicated to receive others aswell. The iphone 4 is more advantageous of a 'exciting' telephone while the Blacberry ambitious 9700 is more advantageous 'company' however it nevertheless has leisure. yet another professional for the blackberry is it has a much more advantageous acceptable battery existence. The blackberry is likewise a lot more straightforward to variety with because it has a actual keyboard. decide on Blackberry!

Answer 4

I've been using the iPhone 3GS for over a year and it's a fun phone to have. Never used Blackberry, so can't comment on that, but I really like the iPhone for its apps and functionality.
