A simple survey, iPhone or Blackberry……..

As fast as technology improves who has time to stay on top of all of it?  One thing for sure we need to be able to get the job done while being either in the office or on the road.  If not we will be playing catch up with our clients and customers.

Two years ago I went out to the AR community and asked a question very similar to this question.  With over 200,000 members I am sure I can get a load of good information on my next phone.  Or is that smart phone?

So my question to the community is to iPhone or not to iPhone., then If I go with the iPhone then which one, the 2g or 3g or 3gs?
If I was to stay with the Blackberry then which one would you suggest?

I am open to your ideas SO what say YOU?

Don- I sure like my Blackberry, but have heard wonderful things about the iPhone. Tough call, let us know how the numbers come out in the end.

I love my blackberry.  It is intuitive for me and easy to use.  That said I think the best phone for you is the one you will use.

I went from Blackberry to iPhone to Android. If I had to pick, I would probably go with the iPhone, but I much prefer the Android over both.

Hi Don - I wrote a blog about a smart phone being owned by a dumb owner.  I have a Sprint HTC Hero.  Is that in your questionnaire? :)

Blackberry  

I am awaiting the PlayBook.  It was unveiled in September, and is expected to Launch in April.

Don, I am an avid Blackberry user. I am liking what I see with the Iphone, but it's just way too expensive in my opinion. I couldn't begin to recommend which BB to use since I am still using one of older versions. I often find mobile websites that don't work on my BB but do work on my wife's BB (newer version but still considered a dinosaur...the phone not my wife). When it comes time I will probably upgrade my Blackberry. :)

Don, I did some of the same research and everyone that I talked to with experience with both, now prefers the Blackberry.

Don - Most real estate agents I know prefer the Blackberry.  However, many use the iPad.  This way you get the best of both worlds.

iPhone4...hands down!!!  There's nothing a BB can do that it can't and there's plenty of extras that will make you love it
