iPhone vs. Blackberry Bold

I've seen a lot of different articles in different places talking about how the iPhone will be competition to the smartphone lines from Blackberry. This is very inaccurate for the consumer. It should be that the Blackberry is competition to the iPhone, and even then, that still sounds bad, because it's an obvious choice of which one is better, unless we're talking about the older versions of the iPhones and Blackberries.

Here's why:
1) The new Blackberry bold is far too expensive even with a contract and will probably be outrageous without a contract, with Rogers listing the Blackberry bold for $399 on a three year contract with further expenses from the plan. That's even more than the 16 GB iPhone!
2) The New Blackberry also has only 1 GB of Storage which means that you can store far less on your Bold than your iPhone.
3) The overall hardware specs are no match for the iPhone, especially when you consider that it's more expensive than the iPhone. Plus, for the consumer market, the iPhone apps and capabilities are probably much more attractive than the Bold.

However, it's a different story for the corporate world, seeing as many of the Blackberry Bold's applications are very useful in the corporate world. Businesses will probably see the Bold as a viable competitor to the iPhone for now, unless the iPhone can seriously improvement on functions such as email, text messaging, and other functions required by businesses.

In my opinion, the iPhone certainly gets you more bang for the buck as the hardware is much better, and when you have the hardware, the software comes easily.
