BlackBerry Vs. Apple
RIM newest success, the Blackberry Torch, is their latest smart phone for AT&T. Being new to the market the Torch had to compete with Apples new iPhone 4, which is easily the most known smart phone advertised at the moment. In this article you will learn how the Blackberry Torch stacks up to the iPhone 4 in terms of accessories, hardware, and software/applications. Each phone is a very big seller for both Apple and RIM but how do they compare and which one is better for the consumer market?
RIM has manufactured some of the best smart phone around for businesses and emailing, yet Apple has made their products best for applications for getting everyday tasks done quickly and easily. The most notable difference between the two phones is that the iPhone only comes equipped with a touch screen keyboard, while the Torch has both touch screen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Most people will say that they prefer the attached QWERTY keyboard because they like the convenience of touching a button because of spelling and accuracy. A touch screen keyboard is not always precise because the exactness of your finger varies, and sometimes you will end up with a completely different word than you intentionally sought after.
The iPhone 4 comes with either a 16GB or 32GB memory, which may not be enough for some consumers. The lack of a microSD card for the iPhone can turn many users off because they still insist on a larger storage capacity . But in regards to the Blackberry Torch, which comes with a 4GB memory, can also be equipped with a microSD card, giving you the ability to have a total of 36GB of memory. Both phones do have a very similar battery life even though the iPhone 4 has a larger capacity consisting of 1420 mash compared to the Torches 1300 mash. They both last about the same amount of time solely because the Blackberry has a better data management system which makes the phones battery life last all day.
The way each phone operates is the reason that a person chooses one or the other. The 1 GHz processor of the iPhone 4 does seem impressive, seem quite impressive, but the Blackberry Torch still packs a bigger punch even with a 624MHz processor because of its data management. Apples iPhone 4 does struggle without multitasking which is quite unacceptable for the praise it gets. On the other hand the Blackberry Torch struggles as well, because the Torch has a bigger operating system and also has full multitasking capabilities.
Browser capabilities are a big thing to look into when you are buying a smart phone. Up until now the Safari browser from Apple has been the best on the market, but now it seems like RIM has taken the lead by introducing the Webkit browser to the world of technology. With the Webkit browser you are able to have tabbed browsing, which is much easier than the multiple screens that Safari offers its users. The Blackberry Torch browser uses the text size that you prefer because you can set what size you want the text for every web page. Overall, the Torch renders web pages better than the iPhone 4.
The Blackberry Torch would have to be the smart phone of choice compared to the iPhone 4 at the moment. If you are looking for BlackBerry Torch accessories then you should make sure to invest in a BlackBerry Torch screen protector. If you buy a screen protector then there is no need to worry about fingerprints and scratches all over the touch screen. As well you should invest in a BlackBerry Torch case to keep your new phone safe, in case of a fall or accident you may have.
