Apple iPhone vs BlackBerry Bold

Written by Meraj Chhaya on May 22, 2008 – 10:44 pm

The Apple iPhone and BlackBerry Bold are phones that will certainly do well in the USA, their manufacturers have a good market over there and have captured the necessary marketing technique. This hands-on provides information on which handset to choose and why. An useful comparison table after the jump.

Spec	iPhone	BlackBerry Bold
Size	4.5? x 2.4? x .46?	4.48? x 2.6? x .55?
Weight	4.8oz	4.69oz
Memory (Ignoring OS considerations)	up to 16gig storage	1gig storage + Expansion
Battery Life	8 Hour talk time	5 hour talk time
Network Supprt	Quad-band EDGE	Quad-band HSDPA/EDGE
Other Comm	WiFi, Bluetooth, USB via Dock Connector	WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, USB via mini-USB
Display	480×320 touchscreen	480×320 non-touchscreen
Media Support	Auido: AAC, Protected AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 1, 2, and 3), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV; Video: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats	Audio: .3gp, MP3, WMA9 (.wma/.asf), WMA9 Pro/WMA 10, MIDI, AMR-NB, Professional AAC/AAC+/eAAC+; Video: DivX 4, Div X 5 & 6 are partially supported, XviD is partially supported, H.263, H.264 and WMV3, syncs with iTunes but likely not as well as iPhone
Camera	2 megapixel	2 megapixel with flash
UI	Touchscreen, Apple MoJo	non-touchscreen, trackball + BB Menu confusion
Web	Mobile Safari	Don’t look directly at the screen
Email	iPhone Mail client needs lots of taps	BlackBerry == email power

I believe that the Bold is a great competitor against the iPhone, and if it wasn’t for the lack of touchscreen, the Bold could have been a major winner, it does excel in connectivity options, but then again, that’s for the businessman.

Read the entire review and let us know if you would rather go for the BlackBerry or the Apple counterpart. If you find out why all these manufacturers have fruit names let us know as well.
