The blackberry is in a league of its own really and the iPhone is aimed a rich media users and savvy web people, not really for business To be honest I dont think any heavy blackberry user is going to convert to an iPhone.

The UI on standard phones - particularly Motorolas - is so shockingly bad that it created a market for the iPhone. The cost is a question of how much of the functionality a person will use. The more aspects of the device that'll be used, the more it's worth the money for that person. Sure, it's not worth $500 for just an iPod, or just a phone, or just a mobile web browser, and maybe not even for two of those. But if someone will use all three features, like me, then it's a reasonable price. I think that’s right.

I've written up a <a href="http://danielpasco.com/2007/06/30/iphone-comparison/">comparison</a> of the iPhone to three of the BlackBerrys that I've owned, a Treo 650, and a Sony Ericsson P900. In my opinion the iPhone is superior to all of them, but my priorities differ from Alex's on a few points. My biggest gripe so far is the keyboard, and I've worked with that by just making a point of using it whenever possible. I'm getting better with it and I'm certainly typing faster than I did with my Pearl. -Daniel For an alternative viewpoint, I’ve been using smart phones for about 3 years now, and I am very happy with the iPhone.

Folks that have had smartphones before seem to be less blown away, especially if they are heavy e-mail users.

In my most humble opinion, a phone is for phone calls. Apple should have made the world's coolest PDA instead! JG PS.

It IS about web browsing, which as far as I can tell is far superior in quality (NOT on the HORRIBLY slow ATT system) tahn any other Wifi I've expeienced. Style? yes. Too expensive. I think so. But it is a really cool first step in what I think will be a device that ends up as pouplar as the iPod. If you want a much clearer review, see David Pogue's review in the New York Times It is NOT a replacement for blackberry.
