The market has been engrossed with the release of BlackBerry phones, but with the recent launch of the Apple iPhone 4s, which of the two smartphones will the market prefer? Stating the features of each smart phone will determine which will appeal most to the crowd.
The BlackBerry 9900 already has an advantage over iPhone 4s because of its QWERTY keypad. Though equipped with this keypad, the BlackBerry 9900 also included a touch screen feature in their 2.8-inch screen that displays multimedia graphics in a 640x480 frame. The iPhone's processor is in theory more superior than that of the BlackBerry but even with a dual-core A5 chip, 1GHz processor, and 512MB RAM, the BlackBerry still runs faster. In terms of memory storage, the iPhone 4s offers three varieties: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. The BlackBerry, on the other hand, can handle 8GB worth of media files in its internal memory but can still be enhanced when slotted with a 32GB microSD card.
When it comes to the number of networks supported, the iPhone has the advantage because it handles both CDMA and GSM support. The BlackBerry 9900 is only an improved version of BlackBerry Bold which only supports GSM networks but the BlackBerry 9930 is the one which handles CDMA networks out of the three BlackBerry smartphones. However, both the iPhone 4s and BlackBerry 9900 possess an HSPA receiver that lets its users utilize a 14.4MBPS downlink. The iPhone's version of Bluetooth is a specialized type v4.0 receiver while the BlackBerry 9900 has the common v2.1.
The latest version of the iPhone boasts an iOS 5 (operating system) update and it can handle more applications like Twitter integration, iMessages, iReminder, Notification Center, and photo-editing applications. In fact, both the BlackBerry 9900 and iPhone 4s can have the iOS 5 update. However, the advantage of iPhone 4s over BlackBerry 9900 when it comes to hardware is its Siri, the voice recognition personal assistant.
What the BlackBerry 9900 can boast is its BlackBerry Operating System 7 which enables the phone to have a touchscreen feature, the BlackBerry browser, the BlackBerry Messenger 6, Liquid Graphics, and applications support for the BlackBerry App World storefront. If you want more secure Internet browsing, using the BlackBerry is more advisable because of its BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS).
The iPhone 4s's price has been revealed recently as $199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB, and $399 for 64GB. With the BlackBerry 9900 price at $349.99, there is a price difference between the two mobile phone products of at least 16%.
