Iphone V Blackberry

Advantages: Similar in Tariff, Similar Qualities. Opposite spectrum
Disadvantages: Rivals, offer different things for different people lifestyles

...Is the Grass greener on the Blackberry?? I own the Apply Iphone but am always plagued by people telling me you should of got the Blackberry. I enjoy using the Apply I phone and it is competitively priced on certain tariffs one being O2. I aim to discover which one really supplies me with the better deal, and a review on this. Being a Corporate, commuting, internet fan I would like to check my emails with ease, enjoy games, enjoy easy use and accessible functions, music, contacts, video, camera, like anyone would and also have the sex appeal of a nice designed phone. The Blackberry is more expensive on tariff and costs a extra approx. £10 on top of the Iphone on certain tariffs the Blackberry offers me wifi- email notification and immediate download of message whereas the Iphone downloads every 15 minutes approx, being slower...

Review of Apple iPhone

The best iPod / Phone!

Advantages: unbelivably sexy and beautiful, wonderful internet and video / music
Disadvantages: needs a couple of firmware updates to become the perfect phone

...Given the rather briefness of the other iPhone reviews on Ciao, and given I've actually GOT one, I thought I'd do a proper review prior to the iPhone being launched in the UK. Some history: Apple have been making computers since the 1970's and were the first people to launch what we now call a home computer with the Apple II microcomputer in 1977. Since then, they have been at the front of design and innovation, despite having a few failures along the way, such as the Apple Newton in the 1990's. Apple have recently had two turnarounds, the first being the launch of the iMac in 1998 (basically a portable TV size computer with screen, but with funky colours and all in one design) and the other in 2001 when Apple launched the iPod... The rest, as they say, is history! iPhone history: During late 2006, rumours were...

Blackberry Curve 8310 - My First Smart Phone

Advantages: emails alerts, send and receive email, chat via Yahoo Messenger, Facebook, Blackberry Messenger
Disadvantages: difficult menu for first smart phone user

...I got this Blackberry 8310 as a present a couple months ago. At first, I?m not interested in using such a complicated phone and I feel difficult to adjust from regular cell phone to this smart phone. But after reading the manuals and learning by doing, I find this blackberry 8310 is very helpful and interesting. Besides the usual features/ menus that we can find in ordinary cell phone, there are many useful features include in this Blackberry Phone; I really love to know that for checking emails I don?t have to go to internet café whenever I don?t have access to my office or home computer. I can check or send email whenever and wherever I want to, also get instant notifications when new emails coming. You can set your work emails as well as or your yahoo, g-mail or whatever emails that you have. Browser also available for surfing...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

Blackberry Storm - the Innovative Push screen phone

Advantages: Good Camera on a Blackberry, amazing email features, pin-to-pin messaging, 3G capability,
Disadvantages: Slightly low response time, low battery life, no wi-fi

...One the first things that you would probably notice about the blackberry storm is that its got a good size large wide screen. It has a much sleeker design that the older blackberrys and I personally think its a fantastic looking phone. Now, I have not been a big fan of touch screen phones as such, but I must say, if I had to purely base a review on the touch-feature alone, then the Blackberry storm is an absolutely peach of phone with an amazing and innovative touch and push screen technology. The main difference that you would notice is while typing a message or an email. I am sure everyone is aware that if you are not used to touch screen phones, then the first challenge that you will face is while typing. Typing on touch screen phones can be a pain, since there is no physical keyboard. However that is especially where the BB storm...

Review of BlackBerry Storm 9500

Apple iPhone

Advantages: read review
Disadvantages: read review

...As everyone know, iPhone became really famous after this product got in the store. In a sense, It's a copy of iPod touch, at least, because of the outlook and of course, because of music player. Here is my review about iPhone. Why iPhone is good? Of course iPhone is very famous, because of It's outlook. Of course outlook is great, there is a one big touch sensitive screen and one button, what has only one function - bring you back to "home". You don't need some stick to move menus, It's really easy to surf in menu with your finger. All things functions so coherently, and It's really unfamiliar, example, to use WiFi, you don't have to change any options or retool profiles and you don't have to worry. All things what you haven't done, and you want do continue it later, it always opens from same place and everything is auto...

Review of Apple iPhone

The iPhone Masterpiece

Advantages: Visual beauty, ipod perfection, photo demon, movies screen, internet anywhere! PERFECT!
Disadvantages: cost and network locking (easily overcome) and ringtones (overcome aswell)

...This is the pinacle of phone, music player, video player technology. I can not believe how much stuff is wrapped into this beautiful device. okay first, there is the look. Now i doubt you will be able to find anyone who doesnt think this phone is gorgeous. It has an overall of 4 buttons and a switch. 1 for the home screen, 2 for sound, 1 for on and off and the switch to mute sound. The rest is controlled by your fingers on the 3.5" touch screen. It is beautiful peice of engineering technology. The touch screen is "clever" it know when you touch once, it knows when you pulling across the screen, it knows when your pinching. This is due to a sensitive electrical sheet underneath the glass, yes glass, that is connected to the apple mac os x system. It is stunning. The visual detail is nothing you would ever expect from a3.5" screen. You...

Review of Apple iPhone

The worst phone ever (BlackBerry Storm 9500)

Advantages: The camera takes nice clear and bright pictures if you can get the button to work
Disadvantages: Battery life, freezes

...Here is my opinion: I have had the Blackberry Storm Since January 2009. I was really excited to get the phone but was disappointed quickly. I dropped the phone about 2 inches from the floor and the phone turned off and never turned back on. After I had the phone replaced it seemed to keep freezing on me so I called the phone company and after a while of trying to fix it I just gave up. It is very hard to hear the other person on the phone so I have to have the phone on speaker for every call. I bought a couple of head sets and that helped but the quality of the head set for this phone is very poor and I can not afford to buy a head set every two months. I am very unhappy with the navigation because it is very complicated to the point that I can not buy ring tones from the phone, I have to purchase them on the internet. I am a very...

Review of BlackBerry Storm 9500

Blackberry Fields forever ?!

Advantages: One of natures free fruits
Disadvantages: none

...Roll up, roll up, food for free! That statement has a certain ring attached to it doesn't it? I know that Richard Mabey has written a very much talked about book on the subject of what nature can offer us in terms of nourishment. Sadly as yet I haven't read it, in fact I have just been very tempted to order a used copy from Amazon at just a little over £6. I have to admit to being a fan of Ray Mears and although I hold my hands up to only being a fan I love to watch Ray pounding his berries and making weird and wonderful concoctions using gatherings from the hedgerows. Blackberry picking just has to take most of us back to our childhood and sunny afternoons when we were sent off with a tattered brown paper bag to gather some blackberries to make either jam, jelly or an apple and blackberry pie. Off we went to scour the perimeter...

Review of Blackberry

iPhone I like

Advantages: Modern technology, amount of software and number of devices.
Disadvantages: No protective case.

...iPhone finally arrived on the UK market on the 9th November although not with the same amount of media attention it received in the U.S. it was still popularly accepted by the UK market. I bought mine on the 19th November for £269. This seems expensive but you get a digital camera, ipod and phone all rolled in to one with iphone + internet browsing and e-mail capability, also included are elements of a personal organiser (diary and notepad). The main feature of the phone is the touch screen technology which operates everything. Without boring you with technical detail I will tell you what I got from iphone. There are 17 screens (buttons you can push on the face of the camera.) The 4 on the bottom horizontal strip are the phone, e-mail, internet browsing and i-pod. There 13 buttons on top from left to right in 3 rows of 4 +1 are...

Review of Apple iPhone

Apple iPhone negatives

Advantages: MacBook or Desktop in your pocket
Disadvantages: Less of a phone more of a PSP

...If you need a pocket sized version of your Mac then this is for you. Its secondary use is a phone. . small things like not being able to send MMS and even forward any text messages you have received are simple things Apple could have put into the iPhone. Also the iPhone has NO video camera function???? It does crash sometimes which is very annoying especially when on a phonecall. Also have you ever written a text only to press the send button and realise your sending it to the wrong person. . most phones have a cancel option. . but NOT the iPhone!!! The battery lasts the most I found 24 hours thats with normal usage ie iPod for around 2hours a day and maybe an hours talktime. I think more attention has been paid to the applications and the design of the phone rather that the basic phone features. If I had know all...
