Apple's iPhone vs. RIM's BlackBerry: Who Wins on Comparison?

I have to disagree with the author:

1. iPhone is a great phone for talking and phenomenal for conferencing.

2. ATT has been better than Verizon for me - signal everywhere and no limitation on combined voice/data with ATT

3. Battery life has be fine. Never gone dead yet.

4. iPhone keyboard is fast - I tied a Crackberry addict (boy, was she pissed!)

5. Mail on the iPhone is fantastic - I have a gmail account which allows push along with immediate OTA calendar synchronization.

Blackberry’s 26 Advantages over iPhone

Many of the 25 points are nit picking and none address the slick iPhone interface, App-store advantage and overall experience of using an iPhone vs. any other device.

RIM, Apple Slow Adobe's Flash

I hate FLASH. Most FLASH web pages are just crappy eye candy. Thank GOD the iPhone doesn't have FLASH

Dear Palm CEO: Here's What It Would Take to Get Me to Switch

I like the idea of making the Pre screen bigger. It is bearly readable at the current size and the screen buttons are too small and hard to hit. The keyboard is too small too. A bigger Pre (the Post?) could solve many problems - bigger screen easier to read and operate, bigger keyboard faster to type and why not a bigger battery. Now you have solved three major problems with the Pre.

(PS: I am a happy iPhone user who loves the on screen keyboard.)

The Palm Pre: Can One Device Save Two Companies?

Lots of 'ifs' - I think they are fighting an uphill battle with some real disadvantages (Sprint, iPhone 3.0, Android and the give-a-way BB's).

Netbooks: Not if, But What Will Replace PCs

The Facebook application on the iPhone works great. No need for a netbook or laptop (and the iPhone is a computer with much more power than the Lunar Landing module to boot!)

Will Satellite Radio Become a Consumer Staple?

I would rather stick with Pandora, Flycast, Public Radio and Trapster on my iPhone. Better selections and more user-directed choices compared with satellite radio, plus it is essentially free! (Personally, I have not had problems streaming off ATT's network either.)

RIM Renames App Center 'BlackBerry App World'

Remember Wally World from the 1983 National Lampoon's movie Vacation starring Chevy Chase?

Apple's Walmart Deal Will Effectively Kill Google's Android

Consumer Reports surveys are not reliable as the surveys center around major cities. T-Mobile has major issues in more rural areas. Also, they do not report the difference between the 'best' and other levels in their reports, so 'bad' may not really be that bad so to speak.
