My girl works on Park Ave in Manhattan at a medical office. Very Rich part of manhattan, if your not familiar. A lot of the patients there are actors and are loaded. Uma Thurman and Al Rokers kids where there last week. Anyway, she works the front desk and says that 70-75% of the clients have blackberrys. When she asks why, they all say the same thing. They had iphone, but took it back because they can't type on the touch screen. I have a blackberry because I have the same problem. Iphone could make even more of a killing if the just made a slider keyboard like the blackberry torch. Wtf are they waiting for?

No it's not. Apple is so advanced but they will milk the public before they release that.

iPhone 9 will wipe our ass for us

[WvGambler]

Ill have what he's having?

[wtf]

steal a better hardware next time

[k13]

They like keeping it thin.

There's a big list of thing the iphone could/should have but it does not.

People will still buy one so like it matters, could make it brown and call iShit.

[Bcatswin]

Ive seen that technology on G4 before, real deal.

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Your an idiot if you cant type on the iphone. I had other blackberrys and i thought there keypad was bad ass. Unless your typing a paper the iphone isnt a bad choice.

Anyone who needs to work on their phone a lot for business will have a Blackberry. Or should, anyway. Most people I know with high flying jobs have both. iPhone's for play, for their kids, for the cool apps, iTunes, etc... Blackberry is for the serious stuff.

i an iphone came out with a slide out towel, o my

Do people say blackberry is a business phone just because of the typing?

That's a joke right?

[ttrace35]

Blackberrys are for important people, such as myself.

No. It's perfectly synced with Outlook, has bbm, connects to the Microsoft Exchange server, has all the Office apps, etc.

But I'm sure some prefer it simply because of the keyboard. Really though, there's a reason it's called Crackberry. If you need a phone for work, it's the best one to have.

These guys are kids shari. Most want the iphone so they can play "angry birds".

[InTheDrink]

Okay I guess that makes more sense but any phone with apps can cover all of those features. In fact my iPhone has a bunch of apps that are industry specific for me with certain analytical tools that BB could never have. I can't see how a BB would be a better phone in any situation.

[UNCGQ]

If a tactile keyboard were the end of the world, the 500 other phones I see with some slider or a RIM phone would have already ended it.

A product with 'ridges/keys/etc' isn't something that's within apple's current design language for it's ipods/iphones/ipads. How smooth and sleek can you make it? They will sacrifice having the latest tech inside it to make it thinner sleeker.

Apple just banked $26 Billion (with a B) in net profit in FY11. I don't think they're going to overhaul their entire product philosophy to copy a company that's looking at the edge of the cliff and hoping they can continue to fly.

They're sitting on $81 Billion in cash. Liquid. That's more than the US Gov't. They could have bought T-Mobile. Twice.

I don't care what actors think. Ever. I don't care if they're racist, if they're stoopid, if they're non-charitable or if they save kittens on their days off. I want them to do the dance and entertain me.

I do care what people who think for a living think.

Edited to add:

My iphone works just fine with Outlook, connects to a Microsoft Exchange Server, can open Office files, etc.

I wouldn't use BBM because we use other messenger types of apps at work and some of our other 'work-related' programs/apps/etc like BaseCamp I just like better on the iphone.

I've had both. I've liked both when I had them. I just can't stand the 'either/or' reasoning of most people and their &%*$ mobile electronics (or the, 'your phone can't do X, when, chances are, it can).

Anybody who believes that somebody using an iphone instead of a Blackberry at their job is a 'kid' is the same type of person that needs to put on a suit every day to help them continue to feel like a professional.

I just wish the iphone had a keyboard. Chill out.

YES

I miss letters but who gives a fuk

[Ace_of_Spades]

Lets be honest, the keyboard sucks on the Iphone. But the Iphone is still better than the Blackberry.

[crustyme]

typing on my iphone, not a problem.

in fact, i had an android with a keyboard and never used it.

[Vegas_bond]

Iphone myself.

The most important apps I need are not available for Blackberry - just for the Iphone.

[k13]

A motorola phone has a blackberry keyboard with android touch screen.

Not a slide out either.

[k13]

Shari must be one of the few aussies left using a blackberry.

Aussies love iphone and hate blackberries.

It's interesting looking at market share by countries.

[k13]

Looking at the typical Iphone demographic....

Dumb Americans
Woman
Fags
Australians

[Bluehorseshoe]

You want a physical keyboard for your Iphone??

Old job gave me the blackberry for work, I had an iPhone personally. Used the iPhone for both, bb was left in the glovebox. Typed this on the iPhone too, no problem if you don't have fat fingers.
