Well this is a reply to a comment made earlier on how the iPhone compares to other mobile devices at the moment. So i will see what i can do for you.
Ok, so the iPhone. Looks amazing. No point denying it, its one of the most attractive handsets available on the market at the moment. Its a comfortable fit to hold, and feels very sturdy. Its also well balanced *one end isnt heavier than the other*. The only downside from a hardware point of view is the fact that it doesnt have a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you cant use any set of standard headphones. However the headphones provided are bearable, and come with a built in mic so thats the handsfree taken care of.
The display on the iPhone is one of the best so far. It has a 3.5inch screen, which is also excellent outside, as you can still see what is on the screen, unlike some handsets which you have to shield from the sun. However..it does pick up finger prints amazingly well..and this can get fairly annoying..
The camera is another point i would like to raise. Ok so its only 1.3 megapixels...and yes there are much better cameras out there (Nokias 5MP on the N95) so its a bit of a let down..but..to be honest..if i wanted to take alot of photos i would invest in a digital camera..
Its a fast phone to operate as well, what i mean by this is unlike windows mobile or Blackberry's you dont have to wait 5 seconds to load your text messages, or photos. It has a very easy interface to get around. Unlike the Blackberry which is just a mass of folders and icons can take a bit of time to get your head around.
The keyboard on the iPhone is well..very impressive. It takes a little while to get used to the qwerty keyboard, but its extremely easy to get the hang off. The keys are large, and i prefer it to having a normal phone keyboard. I mean if its what your used to go for it, but try the iPhone keyboard in an Apple store (Or 02 store in the UK) before you decide :P. Oh and the inbuilt dictionary is really helpful, compared to Blackberrys predictive text, which just throws up the most random crap sometimes.
Another great feature on the iPhone is the iPod. Its so much better than Blackberry's music system, its alot faster, cleaner looking, and having the ability to search using coverflow is amazing. The video quality is one of the best i have seen when watching movies. It puts the Blackberry to shame.
Personally, check both phones out before you buy, i can only review so much at the end of the day its what you like and what your needs are!
Not really sure what to write anymore.. um, i am sure i will find more stuff but i think this is probably enough for now..
