BlackBerry Curve 8900 or iPhone?

I own an iPhone for personal use, and I have used a Blackberry Curve extensively for work. I MUCH prefer the iPhone over the Curve, for a number of reasons. First, the user interface is much, much better.

Apple obviously spent a huge amount of time working to make a user friendly, simple, and intuitive interface. RIM (makers of the blackberry) did not. I don't like the interface at all.

There have been a lot of knocks against the iPhone's touchscreen keyboard. But for me, once I got used to it, I could type way faster on the touch screen than on the Curve's keyboard. The automatic spell checker on the iPhone speeds up the typing speed quite a bit, but when you have to physically type a key (as you do on the Curve's keyboard) it slows you down quite a bit.

The browser is also a huge problem for me on the Blackberries. The iPhone has Safari built in. It's a real web browser, and you can see web pages the same way you see them on your home computer.

The Blackberry browser is just sub par. The Blackberry browser has never been very good. The rendering engine still screws up the alignment of text and images, and it just doesn't show the web page like it's supposed to show up.

The iPhone does all this seamlessly. The app store is also a huge plus for me. Even if a functionality isn't built into the iPhone, there is almost definitely an app that can add the functions to the phone.

I use apps for Twitter, mapping, finding restaurants (with reviews), movie times, games, and any number of other reasons. I can't even use Google Reader on my Curve because the Javascript gets messed up. There are a number of other reasons, but those are the big ones for me.

I would highly recommend the iPhone over the blackberry any day of the week.

T-Mobile ships the Curve 8900 with a travel charger, a USB cable, a 256MB MicroSD card, a wired headset, a protective case, a software CD, and reference material. For more add-ons, please check our cell phone accessories, ringtones, and help page. The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 runs BlackBerry OS 4.6.1.114 so aside from the aforementioned updated user interface, you also get new functionality and improved applications.

For example, unlike the Curve 8300 series, you can now edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, thanks to the inclusion of DataViz's Documents to Go Suite. Like the Bold and the Storm, only the Standard Edition is preloaded on the smartphone so if you want the ability to create new documents, you will have to upgrade to the Premium Edition. The BlackBerry Curve 8900 also ships with a number of personal information management tools, such as a Calendar, a task list, a memo pad, a voice recorder, a calculator, a password keeper, and more.

There's quite a catalog of applications available for BlackBerrys, whether you're looking for new games or software for your job. Be aware, however, that if you have third-party applications on an older BlackBerry model, they may not be compatible with the Curve 8900. T-Mobile includes some suggestions and direct download links on its mobile site, or you can check out Download.com for more ideas.

One of the most-needed improvements was in the area of Web browsing, and the Curve 8900 delivers. You now get a full HTML Web browser with support for RSS feeds and streaming media, including YouTube clips. Browsing and navigating sites is made better by the Page and Column view options and onscreen cursor.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
