BlackBerry fans won’t have to wait that long to get a glimpse of RIM’s 3G plans. Like Apple’s iPhone, the BlackBerry Bold sports a glossy black face and chrome trim. And, in another nod to the iPhone, the new Blackberry’s display is the sharpest one that the Waterloo, Ontario-based company has put on a phone to date–all the better for users to show off Web pages.

Many of Blackberry supporters feel despite Apple’s visual appeal, its software fails to cater to business features many businesses have grown accustom to using. It’s clear the new “basic” platform wars are PC vs Mac, Blackberry vs iPhone. The problem, if the new BOLD Blackberry doesn’t come up with new innovated features, past general cpu do dabs, Apple’s not too far behind to pass up RIM, like the MP3 sector in the early 2000’s.

For me Apple’s a few reliable business applications (like enterprise, office) and additional USA service providers away from truly being competition. Despite it all, I’ve noticed a lot of Blackberry users, who apparently have no real business, not really know why Blackberry is better and iPhone sucks…(like PC’s and MAC respectfully). You’ve seen them. The fake CEO label heads, fronting with a Blackberry. Of course its the norm and actual business Blackberry users can appreciate the convenience of noteworthy Blackberry applications,etc, noting the RIM specific software is what separates from real business and highend internet use. Possibly if business users join when T-Mobile, Sprint, etc are added interaction on how to improve the iPhone might help. Apple seems to be really good creating a culture around customer response. Until then, T-Mobile serves me and my Blackberry is super-sufficient.
