Why the iPhone<\/a>? Why not Blackberry<\/a>? Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll get to that too, a bit later, though. But first, I have a confession. I think I\u2019ve got the iPhone<\/a> flu. All I can think of is the iPhone<\/a>. Be it during work, those odd – chicken and duck – meetings, even when I\u2019m ogling away at really hot women, while I’m driving, doing work, and even while I\u2019m asleep. <\/p>\n

My appetite for Apple<\/a> is getting the best of me. My otherwise, usual, poker face, is substituted by an utterly rattled hangdog expression. And I figured, sharing why the iPhone<\/a> does that to you, with the readers of my blog, be considered downright settling.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why you\u2019d love the iPhone<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Made by Apple<\/a> (I think this is good enough. Period.)<\/p>\n

The revolutionary touch screen – which every other company is trying to imitate, but are not even close – will re-sensitize and rejuvenate your lost child hood charm – you\u2019re girlfriend is going to start appreciating you once again.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 3GS<\/a> comes with a magnum 32GB memory – enough room for your music and movies, especially the series of Lost<\/a> and how can we forget your favourite Barney<\/a> videos.<\/p>\n

2x faster and video recording are an added bonus, including the 3 megapixel camera. <\/p>\n

An added Compass will help you find your way home, just in case you wonder off into the jungle or the girl\u2019s hostel. No promises here – the compass only works if you hold it still.<\/p>\n

You can regularly update – my favourite part, well, my nerd side believes so – the software.<\/p>\n

The number of applications available for an iPhone<\/a> outnumber all the available applications, for all the phones combined. This basically means, even if you had to take the pill – you\u2019d have a handy app out there. I\u2019m serious. Go here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And lastly, in my opinion, if you\u2019ve bitten the Apple<\/a> once, you\u2019ll never go anywhere else – for all those who already own Apple<\/a> products and are completely fascinated by them and their design and appeal.<\/p>\n

On to the Blackberry<\/a> now.<\/p>\n

I am currently using the Blackberry Bold<\/a>. Its an amazing device. Its got so many features that I\u2019ve somehow lost count. From handy news readers, Facebook and Twitter applications, and my messengers, there isn\u2019t much that anybody could ask for. <\/p>\n

Although, a demanding person like me, was unable to locate a Skype<\/a> application. It turns out Blackberry doesn\u2019t support SIP settings. But this is no reason why I am crazy over the iPhone<\/a> and not Blackberry.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how I see it. <\/p>\n

Blackberry<\/a> is a robust device that lets your entrepreneurial skills take charge, whereas the iPhone<\/a> brings out the child-like creative and fun side back from the hay-days.<\/p>\n

Conclusion,<\/p>\n

If you can, get both. A good mix that will keep you in-touch with business and maintain that youthful grin from college.<\/p>\n
