Blackberry vs iPhone Review

I switched from a blackberry to an iPhone about 2 months ago.  I wanted to get an iPhone because Lead411 will be creating an iPhone application for our daily newsletter and company profiles.  I really like it for the most part, but its largest benefit is the ease of internet browsing in comparison to a blackberry.  Blackberry browsing is practically useless while the iPhone makes it fairly simple.  After that, I love downloading applications and I like having a decent camera always with me… The only problem I see is the email functionality.  Typing is MUCH slower on the iPhone so I rarely email with it.  With the blackberry I could constantly work wherever I was.  With the iPhone it is much harder.  In addition, downloading emails take awhile and can get stuck if you have too many in your inbox.  For example, when I go on a long flight I can no longer download email unless I re-clear out my inbox.  I do get a lot of email so I don’t know if that problem will occur with everyone.  Hopefully, one day, apple will give the option of a keypad as well as a touch screen keyboard…
