Battle of the QWERTY: Nokia v. BlackBerry v. iphone

Are you a mobile phone addict? Confused which mobile to buy next? Wondering which mobile phone is best for you? Well, let me tell you this...

Personally, I am not a fan of fancy mobile phones, as long as I can text and call then i am fine with any phone. I’ve been using a Blackberry and Nokia for years, but I never bothered diving into the intricacies of their wealth of functionality. Call me crazy but it’s not really my thing. Although, I know that some of you are into this.I have made a detailed examination of the features of these phones and compared their strengths and weaknesses. Let’s take a closer look at these phones and decide which one you should go for.

Design

iPhone 3GS: The full touchscreen design of iPhone has made a revolution in the cellphone design.

BlackBerry Bold : The Blackberry Phones look much smarter than before. The evolved design of Blackberry Bold or Blackberry Storm can look as glamorous as any other phone.

Nokia : It's slim look and easy use has won the hearts of many.

Conclusion : No one wins in this field. Each phone has its own unique design essence and it is more of a personal preference which one you would like. However iPhone reserves some praise for their revolutionary design.

Keyboard

iPhone 3GS : No hardware keyboard for this phone. There is a virtual keyboard for typing text but it takes time to master the art of typing fast and accurate in this keyboard.

BlackBerry Bold : Blackberry comes with a full QWERTY keyboard from its birth. Except the Blackberry Storm. Every Blackberry has the full QWERTY keyboard covering half of its entire face. Typing in the Blackberry keyboard is a pleasure with sure and fast response.

Conclusion : Blackberry is a sure winner here with its excellent keyboard. Also Blackberry wins at the keyboard accessibility. There is no need to slide out the keyboard to get things done.

Memory capacity

iPhone 3GS : There are two models with 32GB and 16GB capacity of internal memory. No Card Slot. RAM capacity is 256 MB.

BlackBerry Bold : It has an internal memory of 1GB and External Micro SD cards are supported up to 8 GB. RAM capacity is 128 MB.

Nokia E72 : It has an internal memory of 250 MB storage, 128 MB RAM and is expandable with a 16GB MicroSD Card to make it a total of 48GB. The RAM capacity is 128 MB.

Conclusion : The iPhone has enough memory to store all your favorite music and videos but Nokia N97 even exceeds that limit with its whopping total of 48GB.

Overall

iPhone 3GS : The iPhone is a blockbuster phone that has won many hearts. After some of refinements the iPhone 3GS model seems to remove all the flaws that it had in the previous models. Now it stands as an irresistible champion.

BlackBerry Bold : BlackBerry is always the first choice for the business users and the BlackBerry Bold is the best BlackBerry phone ever made. It is also an unquestionable choice for a corporate person.

Nokia E72 : The Nokia E72 comes to succees the E71. It is probably the most talked about phone from the house of Nokia. The smartphone boasts some nice features, such as a 5-megapixel camera, 3.5mm jack and fast 10.2Mbps HSDPA. It also has a compass and a new messaging application.

Conclusion : At the end of the day all of the three phones are tough competitors and it is hard to decide which one is the best. None of the phones can be neglected for their shortcomings because they have some features that outdoes others in some respects. This is why there is no overall winner that outperforms others in every respect.
