I had an iPhone for quite a while. Nice phone seriously, it’s made me a couple G’s since it’s original release so I’ll always have love for it. After all, it did put some extra dough in between my pockets. It also drove me into the line of Apple products so far that I ended up dropping a 2k on a decked out MacBook Pro last year, which is probably my best purchase to date. But besides that, I kind of got tired of it. Sounds crazy, but I did.

Your boy got caught up in that Blackberry hype and ended up purchasing a Bold 9700 which is my best purchase of 2010 to date. The interface isn’t probably as user friendly as the iPhone meaning not any fool can pick it up and use it. To me, the phone just exudes class, if that’s possible. It’s sleek, stylish, dark, and bold, which makes it just seem masculine. It’s more than pleasing to the eye.

As for usability, the phone is amazing. The apps in the iPhone are definitely more aesthetic, cheaper, and there are simply more of them. But to me as a casual user who’s not (pointless) app crazy, email, Twitter, Facebook, GPS, and instant messaging applications are all I need. And the ones available are great (Facebook could use improvement most definitely though). I gotta give credit to a quality product. It’s not all glitz and glam but it’s actually a very very effective communications device with a respectable battery life. You can stay connected with people from all over the world…if that’s your type thing that is.

Be Bold.
