Why The BlackBerry Bold is Way Better than The iPhone 3G (for business)

After a few days playing with my new BlackBerry Bold, I have to say that is absolutely crystal clear to me the reason why the iPhone 3G can’t beat it when it comes to use it for business.

Aside from all the features I like in the Bold and that would be worth an entire post, the main advantage towards the iPhone is the “always online” status and the multithreading capabilities. The ability to keep applications like email, Facebook and Google Talk active at the same time, while you are performing other operations, is definitely amazing. I can get emails and IMs all the time and even Facebook notifications can came to my device smoothly, an experience I never had before with other devices (neither with the iPhone).

In the iPhone, you can use just one application at a time, so the experience you get with the Bold is far away. Someone replaced Blackberries with iPhones  for their company, but I doubt  it has been the right choice, especially with a fantastic device like the Bold (Dan, what do you think?).

If you want to find more excited Blackberry Bold users, just use Twitter search with “blackberry bold“… You’ll find many users excited like babies with a new toy…

  • True about the multitasking I went from a BlackBerry to an iPhone and back again due to that very reason...The iPhone is a great multimedia device but the BlackBerry is unbeatable as a business phone. The only complaint with RIM is their app store, they call it App world but it's only available in the US, Canada and the UK, very bad marketing on their part...*moan moan*
  • an italian version was expected at the end of June but no one saw it yet :-(
  • Good post.
    I am trying to decide to go with the iphone or Bold and it's good to know about the multi-tasking.
  • Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the iPhone3G is a bad phone, it's great for many tasks, but the always-on experience provided by the Bold is unbeatable.
  • Luda,
    It would be very interesting to add to this comparison Google's G1 phone. It should be allow multitasking as well I think.
    Tsahi
  • Don't know, but what impress me most with the Bold is multitasking and the "always-on" status.
  • Hi Luca,

    Just wondering what kind of GPS applications you are using with your Bold?

    Connie
  • Mainly Google Maps.
  • hahahhahahhahhaha
  • ... or how to say "Duh" in tech speak. The Blackberry is still the king of business smartphones. I don't think that will change anytime soon, since corporations just aren't willing to roll out iPhones as the defacto management smartphone.
