It's that time again! The first time we cheered and jeered the participants in the battle of the smartphones, there was no clear winner. Since then, more stars have thrown their dialing fingers into the ring and aligned themselves with a BlackBerry or an iPhone. The future is uncertain for these nemeses; will the BlackBerry Bold or the iPhone 3G prompt team-switching?
Until then, ring the bell for today's fight!
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!
