Well it’s happened, she’s lost the crown. The Apple iPhone, that smart, sexy device that seemed to be on everyone’s must have list, has been outdistanced in sales by the Blackberry Curve. Has Apple dropped the ball somehow, lost it’s hip appeal? Hardly. The iPhone is certainly a super cool device with lots to offer. However this tectonic shift has me got to thinking about the reasons for it all. What does the Blackberry Curve have on the iPhone?

• Well the Blackberry Curve is smaller. Not that the iPhone is a bulky piece of gear, we’ve all seen it and we know it isn’t. The iPhone clocks in at 2.4 inches wide and 4.5 inches tall. The Curve is almost a half inch shorter, which means disengaging it from your pocket is that much easier.

• The Blackberry Curve also has a physical Qwerty keyboard. Not that the touch screen keys on the iPhone are terrible or anything…but I gotta say, I’ve typed and retyped many an email on the iPhone because of that virtual keyboard. Maybe my fingers are just fat. I’ve gotten used to it (kinda), but there has been many a time when I’ve cursed the heavens and would have given my kingdom for a physical qwerty (usually when I’ve been drinking).

• The Curve has many a feature the iPhone doesn’t: many of the models have GPS functionality, video recording, Adobe Flash for watching video, and a flash for the camera. Apple will most likely fix some of these issues come this summer when they release their new model, but that’s not until SUMMER whereas the curve is NOW! We will see how everything plays out then.
• Last but not least, buying a Curve is a lot cheaper. About a hundred bucks cheaper with a two year contract.

So are these reasons for me to give up my iPhone and go with Blackberry? Well I don’t know about all of that…I will say it’s crossed my mind.

I realize cell phones update as quickly as the tides turn! It is hard to keep up with the latest trends or hottest gadgets, BUT all cell phone users know that NOT all wireless service providers are created equal!It has been my experience that while you may have the newest and coolest phone, if the contracted provider to that cell phone provides poopy reception or coverage, well that transforms your hi-tech mobile phone into a heavy pocket weight!

That is my current dilemma; Cool phone + Poor coverage = Me NOT a happy Camper!

So as a gift to myself I have been thinking about upgrading to the Blackberry Storm by Verizon. Not only because I think the phone itself looks smart, user friendly and offers a ton of features that appeal to me… but mainly because Verizon is notorious for excellent coverage and few drop calls. And at this point, that sounds beyond dreamy!
