New Apple IPhone or new Blackberry Bold?

[Thadeus]

I can't decide which phone would be best for me. They will both have 3G capability. Any suggestions? Thanks much.

I like that Blackberry, if you're leaning towards the iPhone wait a month or so cause I heard at AT&T that there is a new one coming out sometime in July.

I would wait 7 days on that statement.

Apple is having a keynote presentation next monday on the new iPhone, and Enterprise applications will be a BIG part of it.

From others I know, they wish they wouldn't have gotten a blackberry. The service goes down, the phone has to be rebooted, or sometimes it resets its self and you lose all you contacts/data/etc that wasn't backed up. They both will be good, but if Apple opens up the iphone, as it appears they are, you will see a lot more options for the iphone as far as software goes.

I'm not a mac lover and I wouldn't buy an iphone because Apple was stupid and went with outdated Edge network. I'm waiting until the new one is out to see if I want to buy it.

The only difficulty will be convincing the IT Dept to convert (if they are already running a Blackberry server - which many places are).

I assume these enterprise applications will tie in seamlessly with Microsoft Exchange? If not, they won't do well...

Most infrastructures I've worked in utilize Blackberry devices and a Blackberry server. It's very easy to administer and plays well with Exchange. Although some have used Verizon Wireless devices and VSync Software (which is a bit clunky at first and from my experience needs an occasional reboot or else it stops functioning).

Our clients that want to get email on their phones we recommend a BES server. Of course doctors get pissed when they go out and buy a brand new Iphone and want to get their exchange email on it. We have to say "sorry".
