The Blackberry/iphone battle shows no signs of abating, however in the last 3 months or so it appears the iphone has stolen a march on its business minded rival. This article discusses the benefits of choosing a Blackberry and lists 10 reasons why they are actually better than the iphone.

1. With a 3.2 megapixel camera the Blackberry has by far the best camera of all the smartphones, particularly the iphone which only has a 1.2 mega pixel camera.

2. The iphone has no moving parts so you can’t replace the battery with a more charged battery should you be running low.

3. The standard headphones are good quality but if you do wish to replace them you can do so through a standard a 3.5mm Stereo input which means you have the choice of a huge range of headphones.

4. The screen of the Blackberry is far superior to that of the iphone. It is estimated to have 12.5 percent more picture element that the iphone and also has a more traditional screen ratio of 4:3

5. It’s possible to use a Blackbbery as a USB dongle and receive a internet connection through it. The Apple iphone doesn’t allow this feature at the moment but I believe it’s looking into it.

6. As the Blackberry’s are built using the Windows operation platform they are much more secure the the iphone which is built on the Mac operating system. It is therefore much more vulnerable to hacking.

7. With it’s microSD slot it’s very simple to nsert a 16GB memory card to bring it to the same level as it’s competitors.

8. The Blackberry is the best smartphone in terms of the way it handles emails. All email servers push emails out to the Blackberry’s while the iphones have to pull the emails down and can only be set to do so every 15 minutes.

9. It’s possible to send pictures messages on a Blackberry but for some reason Apple choose not to support this feature. You can send pictures via email but these will only be received by people with smartphones.

10. The QWERTY keyboard that comes with all Blackberry’s make it very easy for new users to pick up the skills required to type quickly. The touchscreen pad on the iphone is quite difficult, particularly for older users to understand.
