BlackBerry Bold vs. iPhone

With the launch of the new BlackBerry Bold, many CrackBerry users, self-included, are thrilled with joy and willing to step over granny to get my....I mean, our hands on one! They're practically sold out in all stores. A friend of mine, who now goes by the name 'Mr. Bold', spent all day searching high and low until he finally came across a Best Buy that had one in stock.

Ever since the Bold was a rumour, reviews have been claiming it to be the best BlackBerry to date, and possibly the best smart phone on the market, however, I'm sure many iPhone users would strongly disagree. Truth be told, it all boils down to what you want in a phone.

While the Bold has certainly improved it's media, resolution, on-board memory and other cool consumer features, at the end of the day it's really a business device. Although the iPhone boasts about adding the 3rd party application, MS Exchange, it's primarily a media device with a cool interface that is fun to play with.

With that said, if you're looking to keep up with your business on the go or to simply 'wow' your colleagues in meetings and around the office, go with the BlackBerry Bold. If your heading back to school with intent on making an impression and be noticed during that first week or you're simply a single 40+ yr old who doesn't want to grow up, and thinks a cool, hip phone that you touch, which we assume you do a lot by yourself, will help you out in the dating department, get the iPhone.
