I guess the safe question ask yourself if your confused about the blackberry products online is to ask yourself does it have a trackpad? If so it's one of the new ones and buy it. However the differences with the new blackberry are slightly noticeble to most people. Therefore an upgrade may not be the best idea for most people who are happy only receiving emails and sending text messages. Or for the bargain hunters that can find one for a penny.

On ATT and T-mobile we only recommend the Blackberry Bold 9700. T-mobile is already ahead of ATT when the release Monday November 16th. The Bold is the only blackberry on ATT/T-mobile with 3G. It helps on the occasion you still want to browse the web, chat on bb messenger and send/receive emails.


T-Mobile New Blackberry Bold 9700:


On Sprint or Verizon we recommend you wait for the Blackberry Tour 2. That will have the trackpad, more memory and wi-fi. One of the great features about the Blackberry Tour is it can work on any network around the world. You can have a Tmobile or ATT sim card and switch to Verizon/Sprint if you have the money to have two plans simultaneously. The Blackberry Curve on Sprint/Verizon can't do that. The Blackberry curves on Sprint/Verizon also have a lower screen resolution and mega-pixel camera. As they are nearly identical in price. The Tour is the best bet not only for the added features but higher value you'll be able to sell the Tour two years from now. As it's quadband if can be sold anywhere around the world so you have a larger pool of buyers to sell to.

iPhone Flash Back(Phil Schiller talks to CBS news John Blackstone

Looking back sometimes gives us a fresh perspective on things. This youtube video goes back to January 10th, 2007(where were you that morning;). When the iPhone was announced. Apple's executive Phil Schiller gives John Blackstone a first look at the iPhone.

Some of the interesting things that he said was "this is the advanced iPod we've ever made". The key point highlights some key advantages that the iphone has over it's competition All of the competing phones with the iphone(HTC Hero, Windows Mobile, Motorola Droid, Nokia etc..) have one thing in common, applications can't be stored to the 3rd party microSD. Also the big problem with the microSD's is that they slow down the phones and different phones require different classes of memory.

Simply put the iphone killers come with "Memory not included". If it is because it's subpar it's slow and sluggish.

Nokia's Profits Plunge as Apple/RIM dominate w/ %35 of Profits w/ only %3 of the market, from Britney Spears to CEO's of Cancer orgs own an iPhones

Nokia's Profits Plunge as Apple/RIM continue Their dominance of %35 of Profits with only %3 market share... From Britney Spears to heads of Cancer organizations have an iPhone/Blackberry

The worlds largest cell phone maker Nokia. On Thursday, last week, posted staggering 73% drop in second-quarter net profit to 287 million euros, or 0.10 euro a share, from 1.08 billion euros, or 0.29 euro a share, earned in the year-earlier quarter. Adjusted earnings came in at 0.15 euro a share. Sales declined 25% to 9.9 billion euros.

Apple's leading the way though with the smallest but fastest growing market share. Apple is also now the most profitable phone maker in the world.

higher end phones are only 13% of total cellphone sales globally, but growing, although the general cellphone market is steeply declining. Apple and RIM had about 32% of the smart-phone market between them by IDC estimates. RIM though still strong is struggling to maintain it's lead.

The US obsessed with celebrity culture has helped fuel the growth in Smart Phones. Even Britney Spears that claimed she wouldn't buy an iPhone because she didn't want to look like everyone else has given in to the new iPhone 3GS. Similar to the days when she endorsed Pepsi but the was seen drinking Coca-Cola. Even David Blaine, Lindsay Lohan, Katherine Heigl and Goldberg are toting Apple's latest tempting fruit.

What makes the iPhone special is it's simplicity. The Nokia and Samsung phones are as complex as high school periodic tables. A visit to their web site and you'll see:

• N97, N96, N96(music edition), N95, N86, N85, N82, N810 etc.... literaly to the Nth degree
• SCH-a570, SCH-a645, SCH-850, SCH-870, JACK, Omina, Instinct, Exclaim, Propel, Eternity SGH-A867, SGH-777...etc...

When someone mentions an iPhone people know what phone their talking about. When people mention Nokia or Samsung, you have to study a chart to know what your talking about. It appears like those companies have NO identity.

The iPhone when released in 2007 was revolutionary but not yet at full gear. The price was robbery, fundamental features were lacking(copy/paste, 3G). Now with phones in the $99, $199 & $299 market with no messy mail-in rebates and decent support structure. We will see a exponential growth with the iPhone within the next 3 years. I'm willing to bet after next years Christmas they will have more than %50 of the Smart Phones Market share.

What all the competition needs to look at to be able to have a chance at survival versus iPhone Planet is study history. The history in how the iPod took over the portable device market. if you remember you will see that Sony also had a periodic table of walkmans, where as Apple had one product.

Having one product is the biggest competitive advantage a company can have. It shows that you understand what elements are a must have and which ones are worth sacrificing. In the end simplifiy the choices for the consumer. Yes some would argue varity is the spice. However now the variety exists in your playlist, facebook friends, twitter buddies, pandora music, etc...
