Comparing the iPhone 3GS With the Blackberry Bold - Which is the Better Phone?

The Blackberry Bold and the iPhone 3GS are two of the most popular advanced devices in the cell phone market. Both have left AT&T subscribers in a bind as to what smart phone they should choose to make their lives more efficient. Each phone has its own target market, and thus, its important to evaluate how you want to primarily use the phone, and then what additional features would be important to you. With that said, its also important to consider how they match up against one another, particularly if you don't necessarily have a specific need, but just want the best of the best.

Starting from the inside out, one of the major factors you want to consider with any cell phone, especially smart phones, is the battery. There is a major difference between the two devices when it comes to battery. While battery life between the two may be virtually identical, the way that the battery is built into each phone is different. The iPhone 3GS, like previous iPhones, has a built-in, non-removal battery. That may cause a problem for those that use their phones non-stop throughout the day, and hope to have a device to last them a few years. The reason it may be a problem is that it will be very much an annoyance to replace the battery. The battery on the Blackberry Bold, however, is removable. This means that you can seek out an OEM battery down the road for a much cheaper price, and not have to worry about being without your precious advanced device for a single minute, which in the business world is an eternity.

Another glaring difference between the iPhone and the Bold is the keyboard. While the 3GS has easily the best touch-screen keyboard on the market, making typing on it a breeze, it still is not as business friendly as the physical tactile keyboard of the Blackberry.

When comparing the cameras between the two, the iPhone 3GS camera does have higher megapixels, and generally tends to take better pictures. However, the Blackberry Bold 9700, which is the Bold successor is said to camera that is equal in megapixels to the iPhone 3GS, but also with a better lens.

The 3GS, which offers two different storage sizes, trumps the Blackberry Bold, as the Blackberry can only hold a maximum of 8 gigabytes external storage, which equals the smaller size of the iPhone 3GS's internal storage.

Finally, perhaps the biggest advantage to the iPhone 3GS is that of the operating system and availability of applications. There is no cell phone on the market that offers as many applications as the iPhone, which makes it one of the most popular and most sought after cell phones available today.

The truth is that the iPhone 3GS right now serves as a better all-around device than the Blackberry Bold. The Blackberry Bold may be a better device for business, but for consumers looking for a Blackberry to compete with the 3GS, you are better off waiting for the Blackberry Bold 2.
