I had an iPhone for about 2 years now. And realized that most people (in a professional environment) have Blackberrys.
Which one is better?

Blackberrys are terrible unless all you use it for is ENTERPRISE QUALITY EMAIL

If impressing others at a meeting is what you're after, don't use any phone, it'd really piss me off.

I'm not sure why people dislike screen keyboards on a phone. I have large hands and do fine with the iPhone. Aside from that, I can't imagine a single aspect of an iPhone that isn't superior.

And as far as our "professional environment", you'll see infinitely more iPhones amongst creatives than Blackberrys, which are popular with attorneys, investment brokers, etc.

The easy answer is: Do you use the iPhone web browser at all? If yes then get another iPhone because the Blackberry web browsing doesn't even come close.

sorry cybrain I just prefer a physical keyboard - each to their own and all that.
creatives will jump on the next fad/fashion accessory....

yeah, as they say above. the blackberry thing is completely about workplaces buying them for their employees, (and then of course making them be available 24/7). Given the choice, I doubt many people would pick a Blackberry over an iphone or HTC desire or other touchscreen....

Most people had a choice at my office, and after trying iPhones switched to Blackberrys.
I personally stayed with my iPhone. But I think there is something about the keyboard and the Blackberry being more of a 'work' phone.
I think it almost looks more professional as well.
Maybe it's just my impression though.- It's because Blackberry has been around forever. It was/is the archetypical "work" smart device.dMullins

Who gives a fuck what kind of phone someone else has? Get what YOU like. Have you considered actually demoing the phone before buying it, lol?
- I was asking for the opinion of people that had it for a long time smartass. Of course I had a play with it.clearThoughts
- So in other words, you buy products based on other peoples' experiences. How metaphysical of you...dMullins

With iPhone/AT&T, you have 30 days to return for full refund, minus restocking fee (typically 5-10%).

I'm giving serious thought to going back to just a normal mobile phone after my iPhone 3GS goes tits up, whenever that is.
Just something that does the two things I want, and does well: phone calls and SMS.
- No more email, apps, web browsing, any of that stuff. Just a fucking phone.Continuity

most professionals use blackberries? are you a sales person? I've been contracting for Apple's nemesis and almost everyone I work with has an iPhone. I don't see a blackberry anywhere.

I hate my blackberry, it's very limited. I can't wait to get a iphone.
