IPhone Vs. Blackberry...

So this morning I woke up to my radio, since it is my alarm, and the radio djs were having people call in and express their opinions about which one is better: the IPhone, or the Blackberry. I think the conversation came about because one of the announcers was deciding on which phone to get. I thought this was an interesting topic to blog about since cell phones are such a large part of today's society. Side note:Actually when I went to the Sprint store when I was fixing my phone (the sales lady forgot to add internet to my phone even though it was on the plan), and there was a couple talking to one of the salesmen there. They were asking him why it was important to get a phone, and that they were a luxury, yet they were becoming more expensive as far as upkeep and initial purchase than landlines. The salesman (who seemed like he was trying his hardest to keep calm), told the couple that about 95% of people today have cell phones (I don't know where he got that statistic, nor how true it is, but I'm guessing he was fairly close), and that a cell phone is actually a necessity since people are always out and about, and not many people are always home to answer their landlines. Although I didn't hear the rest of the conversation (I was dealing with my own phone issues), I'm guessing the couple wasn't convinced because they left shortly after. I think that what the salesman was saying was true though, because I for example, don't have a land line. I'm in college, and therefore find it unnecessary to order a phone service and pay for it when anyone who needs to call me can just call my cellphone. Even when I go home to visit my parents, I rarely pick up the phone unless my parents are expecting a call because if it's anyone important they have mine or my parent's cellphone numbers. 

Anyways! Back on track :) So on the radio people were calling in, saying whether they liked the Blackberry, or the IPhone; and of all the conversations I heard, the people had one or the other, so at least they were talking from experience. Personally, I've never owned an IPhone, but I do know people that have one, so I have used it and played with it. I also have an iTouch, so minus the calling and the texting, it's not too far off. I do however own the Blackberry Curve (as pictured above), which I bought in December of 2009. [I got the orange one so that I could get a blue cover for it. Go Gators! (:] So, I really haven't had my Blackberry for that long, only for about a month; but I already absolutely adore it! 
Okay, here is where I'm going to give my opinion about the two phones. Although, as I've mentioned, I don't really have much experience with the IPhone, I'll recount some pros and cons that I have faced. So, pros: all the applications that can be used on the phone, as well as the music playing feature. I also love the threaded message system. Cons: it's touch screen! this means that it can easily drop calls if you're not careful with the way you're holding the phone, or the way you place it. Also the buttons when texting. They're small and if you're not careful you may end up hitting multiple letters, or one that you don't want. Moving on, the Blackberry Curve! Mine is the 8330 from Sprint, so that is what I'm basing my opinion on. This is my first blackberry, and I'll admit I was hesitant about getting one. Of course, I've heard that they're "the best," but I've also heard that once you get one, no other phone is good enough, therefore giving birth to the so called "crackberry." So you can see my dilemma, Sprint doesn't necessarily have a large variety of phones, and I'm a constant text-er, so I needed a phone that could keep up with me and wouldn't die (which is the reason that I had to give up my old phone). I originally wanted the Palm Pre; I had been researching that phone since before it had came out, so when it was finally time to get my new phone, I was all for it! But as I asked several sales people about the battery life (hello, I have to be able to text and call like 24/7!), the reviews weren't that great. They said that the battery ran out fairly fast, especially since it was first generation, so that was kind of a let down, my next choice: the blackberry. So at that time, the orange was the newest color that they had, so after an hour or so of thought and comparison and constant questions, I decided to go with the blackberry. Okay back on track! So, pros: the full keyboard, the applications, the easy access to your email, facebook, and twitter, also, most importantly for me: the battery life! Which (knock on wood) I've had no problems with so far. Cons: I guess it is a little bit challenging to use, even now I get confused with certain things, and I will admit that the buttons can be annoying sometimes (maybe because I'm still used to my old phone's keyboard?). 
Okay, so basically that's it. This has turned into something longer than I would have expected to write. And if you've read this far I applaud and thank you for being patient with my ramblings. 
Also, if you're reading this, which do you like better? :)
