Why I Am Not Buying an iPhone.

RIM BlackBerry has plans to release the latest device to the BlackBerry collection 4Q this year, which really means 1Q next year. This device promises to be one for the books. It will be the first BlackBerry to be purely touchscreen boy genius reports….
It is a full touchscreen BlackBerry — no slide out keyboard — with only 4 physical keys. Those are the send / end phone keys, the BlackBerry menu key, and the back key. Here is the most interesting part, though: it will launch as a worldwide lifetime exclusive on Verizon and Vodafone! We’ve heard the unit will be a hybrid device with CDMA EV-DO Rev. C (for clarification, Rev C., known as UMB is practically dead. If the device will indeed launch with a 4G solution, our bet is on LTE), and GSM HSPA for traveling internationally. Verizon and Vodafone will have the same unit. Currently, the model number is the BlackBerry 9500, though it’s very early and that’s likely to change…
iPhone cannot touch this device.

P.
I am so glad at least 1 person reads my blog. I agree… I thought the touch screen was a weird idea, but I am sure you will get used to it… plus you can do voice texting now…. But I AGREE… BLACKBERRYIES are the best…. once you go black you can never go back.

voice texting? do u have to train your phone to recognize your voice then?

Bllackberrys aren’t better than an iPhone, and the iPhone isn’t necessarily better than a Blackberry.
That’s just your opinion. To each his own.
In any case, in my opinion, iPhone is much more versatile.
