I was speaking with my wife Mimi the other day about technology with my wife Mimi. With iPhone vs. Blackberry becoming a large topic of conversation I decided I would chime in. Even though many of my guy friends have iPhones I know men prefer Blackberries as women prefer iPhones. My wife agrees with me. The iPhone seems to keep up with the women’s daily grind and seems easier to use as well as being more fun. I like my Blackberry. For business my Blackberry provides me with in depth features for e-mail and online traffic. I prefer to have the real keys on my Blackberry but my wife, Mimi, enjoys her iPhone's touch screen. I also like the operating system of the BlackBerry, it does what it’s supposed to do, and I have been able to find all of the tricks to get all of the usability out of it. The operating system of the iPhone is said to be the most technologically advanced, out of any other mobile operating system in the world. I guess that is why my wife says it is more user friendly for her. I don't think either one is better than the other when you look into it. Even though it is not perfect the Blackberry Bold was one of the best for business. Most of the problems of the iPhone have already been addressed and it is more of a consumer device. It all comes down to what you like and what you really want in a phone. For updates and other stories check out my Ron Pollack blogs.
