With all the hype surrounding the iPhone, almost every person I know is considering getting one. Hack, even AllAboutSymbian’s Steve Litchfield thinks iPhone is five years ahead of other smartphones in terms of concept and vision, though he adds that Apple is behind other handset makers in terms of technology and functionality. And that technology and functionality mean EVERYTHING to some users…

iPhone vs. BlackBerryTechCrunch decided to confront the typical business-centric device BlackBerry with the iPhone. Basically two devices differ on a concept level — while RIM’s device is primarily made for corporate users, Apple mostly targets individuals with its iPhone. The “problem” is obvious – the lack of functionality of the first version of iPhone is a deal-breaker for the “suits.” Among the top cited reasons are lack of basic cut and paste capabilities, and support for push-email.

We don’t want to spoil the rest. You can read the full article from here… Or you could tell us what’s your “problem” with the iPhone? :)

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    My only problem with it is that it could have been so much more than it is (3G, file system, mms) and yet it is still an amazing device.

    The lack of Bluetooth file sharing, one handed and/or without looking text input, access to the file system, and overall mobile freedoms that most unlocked devices can provide for the same amount of money or less are all the main reasons I can’t pick one up, despite how pretty it may be.
