Email on the iPhone vs the Blackberry
People are always asking me questions about email on the iPhone. Most people know that the Blackberry was developed specifically for email and that it is great for email, but they are interested in the iPhone and want to know if it will do just as well with email.
The iPhone and the Blackberry are both great phones and have so many features, but they are very different. If you want to switch from one to the other, in either direction, you need to look at many aspects.
I will be addressing those difference in future posts, but right here, I am concentrating on how they each handle email.
Please feel free to watch this short, 6 minute video for a full description and demonstration of the differences.
