Blackberry versus Apple iPhone?

lrbee — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 20:25:47 +0000

I just read an interesting article over at Yahoo Finance by Mike Schuster called Why Blackberry Users Will Defect. I don’t necessarily agree with Mr. Schuster but he does have a couple of good points. In particular the recrational use of the smartphone. Who would have imagined a few short years ago all of the things you could do with a cell phone Today it seems people spend more time time texting and emailing than they actually do talking on their phones. The cell phone is fact has evolved into much more of a recreational and communcation device than a phone. Plasma TV . My biggest problem with the touch screen phones is they suck battery life at an incredible rate. Unless I’m in an area where I am constantly on a roaming signal I rarely run out of battery in my Blackberry Curve. With the recent article by the Wall Street Journal indicating that Apple if going to produce an iPhone for the Verizon network we may finally see erosion of RIM’s marketshare with the Blackberry.

Hello Blackberry Curve…Goodbye HTC Diamond Touch Pro

lrbee — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:15:46 +0000

Well my son’s sorry HTC Diamond Touch smartphone was finally laid to rest a few weeks ago. Curso de OtimizaÃ???Ã??§Ã???Ã??£o de Sites . Android Guru . Yodle Reviews . As much as we tried to make this phone work for my son we just couldn’t do it. He is a heavy internet user and also sends and receives quite a few text messages each day. The battery just wasn’t holding up on this phone. No matter what we tried it just wasn’t performing. I mean the battery would be shot within 3 to 4 hours. That is just unacceptable. So, we switched it out with a Verizon Blackberry Curve and the Curve is working out beautifully for him. My daughter just switched over to a Blackberry Tour last week so I will be giving an update on it in the near future.

Blackberry Storm

lrbee — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 20:00:18 +0000

My son has been really trying to sell me on getting him a Blackberry Storm. He likes the touch screen interface and the iphone look but also likes the functionality of the Blackberry platform. I have looked at this phone and I like it. The only thing I am concerned about is the virtual keyboard, but hey, he is is going to be using it not me. I prefer the Blackberry Curve. The bad news is I am an Alltel customer. I have been for years. The Blackberry Storm is not offered by Alltel as it is a Verizon phone. Well, as most of you know Verizon has bought at Alltel and we are waiting for the switch over. I visited with my Alltel rep last week and he informed me that I would be switched to Verizon billing in July and I could purchase/upgrade to the Blackberry Storm at that time. Who know’s by the time July rolls around he may be interested in a different phone! If not, I will be purchasing a Blackberry Storm like those shown below….

Blackberry Curve 8330

lrbee — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 14:42:41 +0000

The Blackberry Curve 8330 is great little smartphone from Research In Motion. I own one of these phones and I have found it very simple to use. It is intuitive, small, yet keyboard friendly. I have fat fingers but have very little problem typing a text message or short email. With the opening of Blackberry Application World there are now numerous applications that you can run on your Blackberry Curve 8330. I am currently using Viigo and Vlingo. help me lose weight . Viigo is like a feed reader, almost. It has categories for news, weather, sports, entertainment, travel, stocks, flight information, etc. and with the click of the roller/pointer you can find out just about anything you want. Vlingo on the other hand is a voice recognition interface program that let’s you speak many of the things you might normally use the keyboard to do. For example, sending a text message, sending an email. querying google, updating Twitter. These are all things you can do with Vlingo. I think Vlingo is a release or two away from having a knockout product but it is useful.

And yes my friends, it does come in red!

Nice Phone
