What's so great about the new blackberry bold?

Question

I don's see how it could possibly compete with the iPhone 3g.

Answer 1

The big thing with the BlackBerry Bold is the inclusion of 3G. It will also feature a newer, faster processor, a lot more memory and a new operating system.

While it doesn't compete with the iPhone's browser and media player, the BlackBerry device can do several things the iPhone can't. For one, it can perform basic tasks like copy and paste, as well as video recording and sending MMS messages. These things the iPhone still can't do. The iPhone still doesn't support voice-activated dialing or Stereo Bluetooth. And for me the biggest short coming is the lack of the ability to run more than one program at a time. The iPhone only runs one program at a time, while the BlackBerry can run many. And I still prefer a physical keypad to a virtual one, but that is my own preference.

The iPhone and the BlackBerry are both great devices. I really don't compare the two because I think they are for different markets. And people having a choice is what really makes things great.
