I've had a BB for about three years now... and now my kids are telling me I should have an Apple phone.Call me 'traditional' but I see the BB as the business phone. The Apple looks like fun but does it do the job as well as the BB?

The BB is the one, every time.
Better, more reliable. A serious business machine.

This blog's really evolving - I'm learning so much about how to market and run my business. This post is just one perfect example. Must visit daily in case I miss anything critical.
Blackberry is a business machine. The Apple is fun.
Apple understand about customer experience and making things fun.
Blackberry appear lost - they are trying to create feature-rich machines but they haven't heard of the 80:20 rule.
80% of the time I use the Blackberry for web and emailling.
Stick to the knitting I say. Do what you are good and do it brilliantly. Don't water down the Blackberry offering.
Apple is in the race for market share of the young market. L:et them have it. Blackberry is in a different race.
Blackberry shouldn't worry unduly about gimmicky applications but should make Blackberry users have a full-on experience. They could start with looking at the 'voice'/brand of Blackberry. Right now they talk like a bank not a funky phone company.
Blackberry must not compete head-on with Apple unless they wish to go the way of IBM, gas lighting, record players and cassette machines.
I love my Blackberry. But Blackberry needs to wake up.

Apple every time for anyone under 35 or in the creative industries. No contest.

Maybe BlackBerry have lost their way with the Apple thing.
BBerry don't deliver (try the so called customer service or go to the impersonal, up its own backside corporate website) but Apple can amd does.
Meanwhile Bberry seem to have a loyal following of what Robert calls Raving Fans and Ambassadors. Why? For how long?
Will BBerry join IBM and Hoover and soon Microsoft as the new kids on the block knock them off poll?/pole? position.
The Number One gets too smug and arrogant and too remote from their customers. It happens every time.
My tip - if you have shares in BBerry you should sell them now!
Robert, weren't you doing a bit of a poll on who uses BBerries?
