BlackBerry or iPhone?

Nov 15, 2011

OK, tell me your preferred choice of smartphone. Is it a BlackBerry or an iPhone? Or perhaps a Droid? I have been a faithful BlackBerry fan due to its keyboard and BlackBerry messenger function. I love BlackBerry messenger (BBM), as it’s a very easy way to instant message people and stay in touch with friends and clients around the globe.

However, my BlackBerry has failed me before, and most recently the problem is the camera. When I snap a photo, the photo takes but immediately turns to smeared colors. No good. This particular BlackBerry is a replacement phone I received about a month ago. Do I get another replacement phone, or just turn in my upgrade and go to the iPhone?

My only dilemma is that whenever I think about converting to the iPhone, new converts say to stick with the BlackBerry. Long-time iPhone users seem to swear by it, but I simply just don’t know which way to go. Which way would you guide me?
