GPS features. I like the fact I can set a waypoint on the iPhone using “TakeMeBack”. Great for wandering away from a hotel safe in the knowledge you should be able to find your way back. I really want TomTom to release Navigator for iPhone though, is it already out on Blackberry?

Blogging. Keyboards aside, BlogPress on the iPhone is a very functional client for my purposes. What exists on Blackberry?

WiFi scanner is great for finding networks that don’t broadcast their SSID, then Ping allows ping sweep, and there’s a cool SSH client too. RDP and VNC clients are mostly “okay” on the iPhone. What are network tools like on the RIM device?

The iPhone’s camera may not be the best, but things like Comeks and IconFail allow you to paste on captions and have a bit of a giggle. On the RIM?

The iPhone’s accelerometer can be calibrated and used as a somewhat crude spirit level. RIM?

iPhone allows me to monitor environmental decibel levels (Decibel), tone generate (Sound Check), visually show sounds (Spectrogram) and in a pinch even slate a take (iSlate). Any similar tools on RIM?

I know all the phones have games, but some of my faves on iPhone are PuzzleQuest, Warfare Inc, Mohjong, MotoChaser, Asphalt4, Othello/Reversi, Doom, Quake, Connect Four, Solitaire, Pairs, CrazyTanks and iShoot. I guess there’s plenty of entertainment available with RIM, especially since I saw plans that they will be opening a “me too” app store soon (March 09)

How is his personal experience “obviously flawed”? It’s his “own” experience……It can’t be flawed.

Also, it sounds like you have been dipping into the Norwegian Koolag as well. The iPhone is an engineering marvel and changed the face of mobile computing forever. If it wasn’t, companies all over the world wouldn’t be scrambling to copy it. And with 15,000 apps to increase it’s usefulness, the iPhone is the only “computer” I take anywhere now.

Feel free to call me a kool-aid drinking, Reality Distortion Field radiating Fanboy if that makes you feel better. It makes little difference to me.

The comparison is obviously flawed, as I don’t think it’s fair to compare a Microsoft & Blackberry vs. Apple. A more fair comparison would be Microsoft vs. Apple. I agree that the iPhone easily has the best Web Browser on the market today, so I concede that point to you. However, to say that the iPhone has the better Sync option is plain false. In my opinion, the iPhone is a big disappointment when it comes to syncing. I have a cheap Nokia phone that can easily sync my contacts over bluetooth with my iMac. You really have to ask yourself why Apple doesn’t offer this option for the iPhone. I would much rather sync contacts and calendar over bluetooth than connect the damn thing to the computer to sync.

As much as I love the iPhone for it’s phenomenal UI, it lacks in so many area’s that would make it a truly Smartphone. My advice to you, like Chocolate, drinking too much of the Apple Kool-Aid is not good for you.
