iPhone and Blackberry Head to Head

The iPhone vs. BlackBerry Celebrity Showdown

February 7, 2008

1 / 10

The greatest geeky battle is being fought on our nation's streets. . .the streets of Hollywood, that is. Our country's most photographed residents can't avoid being snapped with their cell phone of choice, and most fall into the tech world's fiercest opponents: The BlackBerry and the iPhone. BlackBerry lovers can't keep their hands off their BB's, though they often upgrade their model, and it seems every day, the iPhone wins a fan from a person who is used to having fans.

Weighing in between 3 and 5 oz., the 9-year-old BlackBerry sports a mean camera, super-fast e-mail, and relies on the thumbs for its strength. Its weakness? Internet browsing.

Capitalizing on that handicap is the iPhone in this corner, weighing in at 4.5 oz. The iPhone may be young at barely a year old, but it's no amateur: Its browser KOs every other opponent, the iPod comes from a long line of successful fighters, and the touchscreen, well, cannot be touched.

Let's see how they stack up in the hands of Hollywood! Ring the bell!

Its called unlocking. You can get unlocked phones that can be used with any carrier with SIM cards. God you're so dumb.

What I don't get is how some celebs have both. Do they have different phone numbers? Different carriers? Isn't that a hassle? Is there a trick?

It's kinda weird this is on here..I was just today deciding between a Blackberry and iPhone..but I took the iPhone..so far it's good, but sometimes it just turns off for no reason? Oh well, hopefully that's the only problem.

I've briefly looked at both and am interested in both, but would probably select the Blackberry due to cost, tactile buttons and the trackball.

I have a Blackberry and my friend has an iPhone, and I would root for the blackberry just because the service overall is better and it is more reliable as a phone

iPhone for sure! I love the interface. I have to use my boss's BlackBerry a lot at work, and that thing is way clunky and awkward on all levels.

Honestly, I would be all about the iPhone if they would just do business with other cellphone companies (besides AT&T). Until then, my vote goes to Blackberry.
