A catch phrase will go here soon.

iPhone vs. Blackberry review (after four hours)

7/2/2007


OK, my quick thoughts after four hours. The iPhone is the greatest phone ever built–that’s hands down the truth. However, it’s best to look at it as a web device with a phone thrown in. My bullet point review so far:

  1. Surfing the web: iPhone hands down winner. Most amazing phone ever.
  2. Music and video: iPhone hands down winner. Most amazing phone ever.
  3. Maps/weather/stocks: iPhone hands down winner. Most amazing phone ever.
  4. Email: iPhone not as good as Blackberry in terms of input (i.e. keyboard), but far better in terms of output (ie the iPhone screen is a DREAM).
  5. Camera: horrible. Really Apple… what the deal!?!?!
  6. Design/form factor: iPhone is the most amazing phone ever.
  7. Durability: The iPhone is FRACKED if you drop it. My Blackberry can–and has–been dropped 20x with no problem.
  8. Keyboard: Shockingly good. Steve Jobs told me at the D conference that if I trust the keyboard and give it a week it will be as good as a Blackberry. I didn’t believe him at all. Now I’m 75% sure he is right. I need three more days.

Blackberry users what say you??!

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
