Blackberry iPhone Pros and Cons

There are two dueling mobile device manufacturing companies dueling in the market right now: the BlackBerry iPhone war. What are the pros and cons of these devices? Here are some points discussing the pros and cons of the Blackberry iPhone devices.
 

Network Coverage
It appears that in this category, the BlackBerry takes the award for better coverage. The iPhone may look flashy and hi-tech but in terms of network coverage it appears that the iPhone 5 is unable to get good network coverage if you are using Verizon due to bandwidth issues. And Sprint does not offer much coverage for the iPhone 5. So between the BlackBerry iPhone, this round goes to the BlackBerry.

BlackBerry iPhone: Synchronizing Email
It appears to be a draw between the two devices. Some say the iPhone is better because it is able to access major email providers while others say it is the Blackberry because it is directly connected to the Microsoft Exchange Server allowing faster email download.But in terms of speed of getting to your email, the BlackBerry takes the cake. So when it comes to BlackBerry iPhone email synchronization, it would be dependent on user preference.

Synchronizing Calendar
This is BlackBerry territory, the iPhone seems to struggle to synchronize well with Yahoo or Google unless you avail an annual fee that offers to synchronize all information on all your iPhone products. The BlackBerry is able to do this chore via an interface cable.

BlackBerry iPhone Contacts Synchronization
In terms of synchronizing contacts between BlackBerry iPhone, the two devices are on an even playing field and it's a draw between the two devices.

Multimedia and Other Apps
The clear winner here is the iPhone. Being designed as the ultimate multimedia device, the iPhone offers a lot more apps, excellent audio when it comes to listening to music, and it has an awesome camera which also can easily post pictures online via Instagram. On the other hand, the BlackBerry was crafted more to be a business device.

Battery Life Between BlackBerry iPhone
The verdict appears to be almost the same between the two devices. But the BlackBerry has a bit of an edge. One of the major complaints about the iPhone is that the battery kind of drains fast to think that the device was designed to be a companion. This is one area that the BlackBerry iPhone needs to up the ante.

Applications Available for BlackBerry iPhone
The BlackBerry is no match with the iPhone when it comes to applications that are available for a mobile device. The iPhone has a wide array of apps available for download and also very good multimedia apps. Although the iPhone also has its shortcomings when it comes to apps, especially, Google maps, which hopefully will be fixed by Apple in its next iPhone reincarnation.
Both devices have its ups and downs but in the end, it is you the user who will choose on what device best suits you.
