The Fierce Blackberry Bold Competes with the iPhone

D Trem
Blackberry's latest model attempts to compete with the iPhone, and it is successful. It competes with Apple's multimedia phone in Usability, features, design, specification, and appeal. The premium Smartphone is easy to use. It doesn't have the touch screen feature that the iPhone has, but it is still easy to use. Usability really isn't a factor for the average Blackberry customer though. If someone is buying elegant Smartphone, they are probably tech savvy. The Bold is much more useful than the curve. The screen has a higher resolution, and the speed doesn't even compare.

The Blackberry Bold is a sleek, and useful, but it really isn't innovative in terms of style. The ultra thin phone is very similar to the iPhone. The iPhone trumps the Blackberry Bold in style any day of the week. The newest blackberry is nothing more than a copy cat; however the iPhone maintains its status as one of the sleekest phones on the market, while Blackberry is still trying to catch up. Comparing the display screens is a prime example. Apple's iPhone has a larger more versatile screen.

Blackberry accomplishes much more with its features than it does with its design. Apple is expected to introduce a 3G version of the iPhone. Blackberry beats Apple with this feature. This will really take a chunk out of the appeal of the Apple's newest version of the iPhone when it debuts on the market. It has great multimedia capabilities. The iPhone can even hold iTunes music! The newest Blackberry has great video and image capabilities. The multimedia aspect of the phone still doesn't compare with the iPhone.

Business professionals will love most of the other features! The Blackberry's 624 MHz processor makes it faster than ever. It's one of the best smart phones on the market. Internet, email, and organization capabilities make the phone worth it. The blackberry's WIFI and GPS are very appealing to business professionals.

Apple's iPhone is much more appealing to the young buyer. It is much more hip, and sleek, and it is the original. Blackberry will have a difficult time expanding its market to younger crowds. What are teenagers going to do with Blackberry? At this is point, Blackberry is given its core audience, business professionals, more features. Board meeting will never be the same. Managers, accountants, executives, and directors will never be able to sit this phone down. It is even more addicting now!

Blackberry is the premiere Smartphone on the market; this is not changing anytime soon. Its latest model doesn't make the leaps and bounds needed to trump the iPhone. It is still a fantastic, practical option. The two multimedia phones are not exactly on the same page. They will not be competing for the same audience anytime soon!

at&t has first dibs on the new high-tech phone. Does that sound familiar? Well it should! The cell phone giant has first dibs on the iPhone as well. If anyone benefits from the increased competition, it will be at&t. At this point, they will only increase their dominance.
