iPhone 3G vs. BlackBerry Bold: Head to Head
Starting with a nice Video:
To help you choose which one to buy, The Boy Genius Report also hammered out a very useful 3,000-word point-by-point comparison. For readers who love things short and sweet, so here it goes...
1. Design
iPhone
3G wins for its gorgeous screen and minimalist design. The Bold's the
cleanest looking BlackBerry ever and the faux leather back is
appealing, but the iPhone's iconic design makes it the obvious winner.
2. Build Quality
iPhone
3G wins for its scratch-resistant screen; its lack of moving parts
(i.e., flash-based memory and lack of a QWERTY keyboard) dictates better
durability.
3. Size
Tied.
The Bold is the biggest BlackBerry ever, but it makes good use of its
keyboard. The iPhone is taller than the Bold, but slimmer and less wide.
4. Screen
Tie.
The Bold's screen, though smaller, looks better because of its denser
PPI. But the iPhone's display is larger and has more real estate.
5. Operating System
iPhone 3G, of course. Because of the App Store, the iPhone 3G's OS truly turns the handset into a miniature computer.
6. Call Quality
Tied. Both phones had extremely good call quality.
7. Battery Life
The Bold wins: In terms of general everyday usage, it lasts longer than the iPhone 3G.
8. Keyboard
The Bold. Because it has one.
9. E-mail
The
Bold wins: People buy BlackBerry phones with e-mail in mind; RIM has
practically perfected e-mail. IPhone 3G's e-mail is good, too: its HTML
rendering is state of the art, but other than that RIM has e-mail
pegged.
10. Corporate Usage
BlackBerry
handsets were made for enterprise users; the Bold is the clear winner
because of its seamless integration with Outlook and Exchange. With
iPhone 2.0, Apple is just beginning to step into the enterprise zone
and has a lot more to prove.
11. Device Longevity
It's
difficult to tell at this point, but the iPhone 3G will likely prove to
last longer because Apple's software updates coupled with the App
Store keep making the iPhone more powerful.
12. Personal Opinion
It
boils down to what you need. Business users and BlackBerry fans will
want the Bold. General consumers will want iPhone 3G. And business
users who enjoy the casual perks of the iPhone 3G will carry around both.
