iPhone vs. Blackberry

Which is better - iPhone or Blackberry??  Can someone summarize it for me?

By the way, the mobile phone world nowadays seems to have been monopolized by these two brands.  The rules of the game have changed completely.  Nowadays, it's all about 3G, internet surfing, multi-tasking, instant messaging etc.  I wonder what will happen to other brands like Nokia, Samsung, SE, Motorola, LG etc??  Will they all die out soon??

Someone (like me) who carries a phone just with a primary purpose of making phone calls, is out.  It seems that nowadays people carry an iPhone or Blackberry to tell others that 'Hey I'm in, you are out!!' or just to show others that 'My phone is so cool that I have to keep on playing with it and have no time for you...'

Today a coursemate of mine told me that she saw even a lady cleaner is also carrying a blackberry inside the toilet.

Since all my kiasu frens are now carrying either an iPhone or Blackberry, I feel so left out with my SE... * my brain shrinks liao *... so I'm gonna get myself a new phone... most likely an iPhone, which has a bigger screen... 

Just hope that my kiasu frens won't be so kiasu to 'upgrade' themselves with an iPad (of course that's not a phone anymore) with a much bigger screen... (imagine everyone carrying a piece of big screen everywhere...haha).

i'm for BB of course! ^_^

both are smart phones, with different target markets.

IPHONE is geared more towards the trendier, "younger" market, and therefore has many "fun" applications; whereas BB targets the more "serious, work/email-based" market.

but if you ask me, the most obvious difference is that Iphone is touch-pad, and BB is "QWERTY" key-pad- the latter which i much prefer.

so it depends what your purpose for a smart phone is.

but whatever it is- YOU NEED ONE OF THEM OK!!!! (if you wanna continue being a freelancer who's out & about!)

that's of course part of the characteristic of a kiasu person => must stay ahead of everyone in everything!
