Gadget Review: Blackberry Bold vs iPhone 3GS. Blackberry or iPhone? That is the question I hear every day from any person looking to obtain one of the cool gadgets. Well my friends, this review will most certainly shed some light on both phones, and hopefully you will be able to draw some conclusions at the end.

As you know from my previous post: Gadget Review: iPhone 3GS, I am quite the happy iPhone owner. I do not own a Blackberry Bold, but a lot of my friends are in possession of the competitive Research In Motion (RIM) gadget. I have played around with it several times, and I believe I have established a fairly good “rapport” with the Blackberry.

The Blackberry Bold has a very sleek design, unlike its predecessors. I fancied the look of the gadget very much. The QWERTY keyboard was always easy to use, as the buttons are very well designed for data entry on this neat gadget. Now, one of the bigger features on the Blackberry Bold is the screen. The gadget features a half VGA resolution 480 x 320 pixel color display. The quality of the picture is extremely crisp, and I would be very satisfied to watch the latest episode of Two and a Half Men. The email on the Bold is superb. I do not think there is any real competition for that particular aspect of the Blackberry, as it is the main feature that RIM strives to improve on with every new gadget release. And of course there is the Blackberry Messenger. Loved by many and desired by others. This Blackberry service is free, and it features on every Blackberry released. This cool digital gadget reduces your bill greatly on text messaging. Now of course, this is only available to Blackberry phones, hence making it such a unique feature for the RIM device.

Now for the review of the cons….yes there are always cons! The Blackberry Bold is fairly big in size. Its bulky size does not allow for seamless blending into your pocket. If RIM manages to reduce the size of Blackberry Bold to one of that the Pearl sports, I think the customer base for the gadget would increase dramatically. The Blackberry Bold browser, while an improvement, is still ways away from a user friendly interface. Navigation is done with the trackball that is located in the middle of the gadget, and the constant scrolling to navigate through the pages can become fairly annoying and tiring. I hope RIM thinks of something for the future Blackberry phones. The screen, while crisp is only a half size. But that is the trade off with most non-touch screen gadgets. Finally, the camera leaves desirable improvement. Blackberry Bold does in fact come with a flash, and the camera is a 3.2 megapixel camera, but the Sony Ericsson CyberShot dwarfs the Blackberry gadget in comparison, however we will leave the Sony Ericsson gadget for another review.

The comparison of the Blackberry Bold to the iPhone 3GS is a fairly daunting task (unlike my previous comparison of the iPhone and the Nokia N-95), as in my opinion both gadgets are intended for different target markets and meant for slightly different purposes. However, let us attempt to compare and contrast the two gadgets.

The screen comparison is fairly simple: you get a bigger screen with the iPhone, but the quality is better on the Blackberry Bold. Now, do note that the screen on the iPhone is the glue that holds everything together. While it is big, it is also almost like putting all your eggs in one basket – lest the screen crack, the gadget performance might suffer. Such is the double-edged sword nature of the touch screen phones!

If you prefer real tangible buttons for data entry such as on the Blackberry Bold, as opposed to digitized keyboards on the iPhone, the choice is fairly obvious; this one is really down to user preference. I personally happen to love the iPhone keyboard, but I do not have a problem with the Blackberry one either; it is simply that I prefer a bigger screen, and the iPhone keyboard makes it a very efficient gadget.

The camera. To be quite honest, this comparison of the two gadgets in the picture-taking aspect can be described as a Special Olympics race. Now, I have nothing against the handicapped population of our world, and apologies if you found it offensive, but to simply put it, the two cameras of the iPhone and the Blackberry Bold are simply not on par with what is out there. Blackberry trumps the iPhone by 1.2 megapixels and a flash, however it is not really something I would be particularly proud to show off to all my friends. Moving on.

Email. Absolutely no competition. Blackberry phones were designed for email. iPhone does have a decent and simple email client, but it does not even come close to the RIM gadget.

Blackberry messenger is something I would love to have on my iPhone. I am a huge admirer of the iPhone text messaging system, but if I could also send texts for free, well let’s just say that even Gollum from Lord of the Rings would overlook his Precious for a feature like that!

Browser. Once again, no contest, but this one goes to the iPhone. Easy to use, big screen, fast Safari browser. Once you have used the iPhone browser, I would dare anyone to find a gadget that aces the Apple phone. Blackberry Bold is blown out of the water, country, planet and solar system in this department.

Finally the size of the two gadgets is very comparable. Personally, I find the slim form factor of the iPhone extremely convenient, however it does make it more fragile. Don’t forget it’s in your back pocket, or you will end up having a nice spider-web design on the screen of your precious gadget. The Blackberry Bold, as mentioned earlier is fairly bulky, but it does make it much sturdier than the iPhone. I give this to the iPhone, but as with most aforementioned comparisons, this one is once again user preference.

The verdict….well there simply is no winner in this battle. Many of the comparisons of the two gadgets were ultimately down to user preference. You have to ask yourself: what am I going to use my phone for? If it is for email and organizational purposes, then I recommend the Blackberry Bold. If it is for fun and browsing, I recommend the iPhone. The choice is yours. Both gadgets are very capable of performing every task, but their design and approach to these tasks is significantly different, and you are the one to make the call – Blackberry Bold or iPhone.

I hope you found this gadget review useful, and I welcome comments or discussions on the Blackberry Bold or the iPhone. Both gadgets are fantastic pieces of technology, however, as this review outlines, the ultimate target audience is different.

Stay tuned for more reviews such as this “Gadget Review: Blackberry Bold vs iPhone 3GS”, from the Gadget World.

Apple iPhone 3G S is finally here. Basically, the phone is so much alike with the standard iPhone 3G. However, it is the inside that counts. You may say that the housing is same but the furniture is different complete with a renovation to make the house better. Yes, it is an overhaul on the inside but the outside remains the same.

The most significant change that you will realize in times to come is the Speed. Now, you might be wondering why the phone is called iPhone 3G S. The ‘S’ means speed. So, this new phone is all about speed. Check out the wonderful CPU. At 600 MHz, it is definitely faster than the standard iPhone 3G which is currently at 412 MHz. Apart from that, the RAM is said to be upgraded to 256MB which is double the standard phone. 

You can get the phone with 16GB or 32GB storage. If you need more storage, go for 32GB. This new version is definitely picking up on popularity as it is much easier to use and the applications load faster than before. There is a statement from Apple that said the loading is twice as fast as before although no one can be sure of that. Still, you will be able to sense the change. 

Now you can play many games without having to worry about the loading time. I am sure there is a significant amount of users who love to play games such as Resident Evil: Degeneration. Compare to the standard phone, this new iPhone is definitely hard to beat in terms of speed. There are many other games waiting for you so be sure to check them out as well if you have got the new phone. 

The 480 x 320 display is nothing different but one thing you should know is that Apple is coming up with new technology that is going to make you very happy. Imagine having to constantly wipe the screen from any smudges, this time around, you just need to swipe swiftly at the side of your pants and voila, everything is gone. The technology is that the new iPhone is resistant against smudges and dirt. This is why you should love the phone. Unlike other phones that need a few swipes, you can clean up the whole screen with just one swipe. 

The camera is being upgraded from 2MP to 3MP, which is not that impressive but still this is good enough for most of us. The software is excellent too as it is powered by iPhone OS 3.0. Apple boasts many great features and upgrades for the OS so you can expect great run on the iPhone 3G S. Last but not least, let us not forget about the ‘copy and paste’ feature that is being left out many times. This time however, you get to use the feature without any problems at all. There is a compass to boast about but unless if you are going for a hike or something, the compass doesn’t do much at all. Google Maps on the other hand seems rather accurate and useful for most of us. 

Overall, this is an excellent phone and of course, if you want to get a piece of this, make sure you either have enough money to buy it, or get ready to subscribe to any contracts that seems appealing and suitable for you. Since this phone is new on the block, the pricing is rather high but after a few months, the pricing might be reduced depending on the market and the popularity. Still, it is worth the money you pay. 

There’s no question that the CECT line of iPhone clones were a runaway success. That’s because not only did CECT convincingly copy Apple’s most popular features, it greatly improved upon them. The manufacturer added an additional sim slot to make the phones dual sim, allowing consumers to have two phone numbers or plans on one phone. They also made the battery removable so you don’t have to run down to the dealer every time the battery dies. Additionally, they added more surround sound speakers. The A88 has all of these bonus features and has added two more: shake and tilt control. This means if you want to change any media (songs, video, photos, or wallpaper) you just shake the phone. There’s no scrolling or looking down. Additionally, if you want to bring the images to wide screen, you just tilt the phone.

Additional Features: The A88 has everything you would expect from a clone. Here is a very quick list of the most popular features.: Bluetooth, a 3.2 inch finger touch screen, networking support (WAP 2.0, GPRS (class 10)), MP3/MP4 players, a 1.3 mega pixel camera, a video recorder, fully functional smart phone capabilities, web browsing and email, 256 MB internal memory, with an expandable capability of 2GB more. No driver or software is required with this phone. It will automatically read your sim card and works on most GSM networks.

Appearance: This phone looks very similar to the iPhone, but it does have a small keyboard/scroll button on the bottom of the phone and it includes a stylus. It has the silver casing on the back with black on the front. There is no logo or writing on the back of the phone and most people prefer this.

Functioning And Quality: This is a very high performing cell phone. I have never found any bugs or problems with it. It is quick and efficient. The video and music quality, as well as the reception, are excellent. The shake and tilt control is very useful and makes this phone very user friendly.

Pricing: This model starts at about $120, but can vary greatly depending on where you get it. This seems a very fair price considering all of the innovative features packed into this tiny phone.

You can download free iPhone theme from many different sites. There are even iPhone themes available for other makes of cell phone, and even as WordPress themes for websites. If you want to know where to get themes for your Iphone, check out the rest of this article.

Following on the huge success of the Apple iPod, which shows no sign of slowing down, Apple has now launched the iPhone, giving users the option of carrying just one light machine around with them to use as both a cell phone and a music storage system.

The Apple iPhone is a certainty to carry on the phenomenal success of Apple’s iPod. This is a highly desirable piece of hardware. Not everyone is in a position, for various technical and financial reasons, to avail themselves of it, and for that reason it is good news that there are themes available for other machines. All of the major names are included in this, such Nokia and Motorola. The Blackberry, which has far greater capabilities than the average cell phone, also has iPhone themes that can be used with it.

You can also download free iPhone theme for the iPhone itself! If you are not happy with the default, or just feel like a change, you can get something called a “Hack Toolkit”, which will allow you to get into your Apple iPhone, and change the theme. The new themes themselves are downloadable from many different sites on the internet, most of which are funded by advertising, and voluntary donations.

The main problem to watch out for when downloading themes, or indeed anything else, from the internet, is the trustworthiness of the site. Downloading themes from sites which offer them is a lot safer than downloading pirated software, movies or music from a P2P site. These downloads are totally legal. You should still exercise due care, though, as unscrupulous site owners can infect your machine with viruses and trojan horses, in an attempt to gain a “back door” into your machine. If you do download anything from the net, make sure that you scan it with anti virus software. Most machines will come with this software built in, but if yours doesn’t have it, or it has expired, it is possible to get free anti virus software, provided your machine is not used commercially.

Taking this precaution will allow you to safely download free iPhone theme. Check out the links below to see the most popular download sites.

When it comes to protecting your precious Apple iPhone 4, don’t just settle for anything. Instead, go with the one that offers superior quality and defense. Cocoon Innovations, one of the leading manufacturers of gadget and mobile accessories has come up with an iPhone 4 case that has the ideal elements that make up a remarkable cover.

Cocoon Trek is a simple yet wonderful case that perfectly fits all the iPhone models – iPhone, iPhone 3/3GS and iPhone 4. With its elastic sides, it stretches and the fit is well suited especially for your iPhone. The case practically covers the front and back of your iPhone but it somehow exposes the top portion since it is where you insert your gadget. Access to your phone’s functions is relatively easy since the ports and buttons are open as well.

Trek from Cocoon also features a section for your earphone in front of the case. Simply put your coiled earphone inside the flap and secure it with Velcro. The back portion also has dual Velcro to fit any size of bags. Use the bigger Velcro to attach Cocoon Trek to a backpack or a messenger bag. Then, the smaller Velcro is perfect for handbags.

Cocoon Trek offers great protection indeed for your iPhone. Its iPhone 4 Case is available in 2 basic colors – Black and Gray. It retails for $29.99 each and can be purchased on their official website. Cocoon is also offering one-year limited warranty for their products. For more information about Cocoon Trek and its warranty, please visit their official website.

I get a lot of questions from folks trying to decide between the KA08 mini iPhone clone or the extremely popular CECT i9.  Both of these phones have quite similar features and functions but I find that there are small distinctions between them and sometimes they appeal to a different type of consumer.  I’ll explain what I mean by this in the following article.

How Important Is Size, Color, And Being Trendy?:  Alot of people who are attracted to the KA08 mini love the tiny little size and the color options. They love the features and technology on the iPhone but they want something that is a little smaller and nicer looking.  The mini comes in several different colors, including pink, blue, green, red, white, and silver, to name a few.  And, its very small – about the size of a credit card.   It has voice commands so you really don’t have to worry about dialing on the smaller screen.  Basically, once you enter in your numbers / contacts (and you don’t even have to do this if you’re just switching sim cards), you can use the voice command from that point on.

And, this phone does have all of the other features – two sim slots, Bluetooth, MP3 / MP4 players, FM radio, ebook reader, and camera / web cam.  (This one has an upgraded 2.0 MP version.)  It also has the shake and tilt feature too.

That’s not to say that the i9 is a huge phone.  It isn’t. It’s smaller and sleeker than the iPhone, but it’s about 100 grams as opposed to 65 grams for the mini.  Still, it is considered a smaller phone than the traditional clones.

How Much Texting Are You Going To Do?:  Now, you can text just fine on the KA08 and the phone does have handwriting and voice recognition (as well as a stylus.)  But, I find that folks who text alot would rather have a larger screen.  You can read your own and other people’s messages easier and you have a lot more space between the touch keys on the digital QWERTY keyboard.  Not that you can’t get used to the mini screen. You can.  But I and a lot of other folks prefer texting on the i9 as opposed to the smaller K.  This is a matter of preference of course.  This won’t be an issue for some and it’s not a deal breaker if you’re an occasional texter. But, if you’re a very heavy user, you may have more speed and accuracy on the i9.

The same is true if you’re going to be using this phone for work and school.  Are you going to reading and editing documents and sending emails back and forth? if so, the same considerations apply.

How Important Is Third Party Software And Games (Java) ?:  Almost all i9′s support Java (unless the phone is mislabeled.)  This allows you to download tons of free games, software, and productivity.  Popular downloads are opera mini, MSN, PowerPoint, Excel and other Microsoft office tools. However, unless they are mislabeled, most mini K’s don’t support Java. Again, this goes with the thinking that folks who want the mini are more interested in the looks and “fun” features of the phone and having the latest model and less interested in using the phone as a work horse or productivity instrument.

There are always exceptions of course, but for the most part people think of the K model as a fun, cute and trendy phone with most of the popular applications while the 9 is seen as more as a reliable, seamless workhorse that’s both innovative and productive.

These days iPhone application development is fast becoming the lucrative way of earning money and taking your business to another level. But it’s not possible for all to develop their own iPhone app as not all have the required skills needed like the technical knowledge and the programming skills. So to help such people there are now many tools to help you create your own apps without having to know anything technical.

So here is the list of top 5 tools that can help you get your own iPhone application development done:

Sweb Apps:
This iPhone application development provides online service to the users and allow them to develop apps even if they cannot code. The providers have taken small businesses in mind while designing this tool that has pre-designed templates that can be customized with background photos of your choice and icons etc. you can also choose from the available images also. It gives you options for various categories you want to make the app for and then you can choose the buttons you want to include.

AppIncubator:
This is a great for iPhone application development. AppIncubator developed by MEDL Mobile allows you to send your ideas about iPhone app and then their development team converts them into working applications. You can send you ideas through iPhone or company’s website and then work on their story board online to give more detailed ideas as to how it will work.

Kanchoo:
This tool has been especially designed for news related iPhone app development. It allows the content providers to create native applications. All you need to do it provide the makes with the idea of the app, its description that goes on the iTunes, a Splash screen and application icon. Then using their online tool you can insert the content, images or text, and create an app of your choice.

AppBreeder:
This one similar to that of Sweb Apps where it gives an App Kit which gives you options to choose from various categories of industries from real estate to bands and restaurants, you can add and remove buttons and functions depending on your need. Then you can upload it online and put it on the iTunes.

MyAppBuilder:
This iPhone application development is helpful to those who want to sell their content online. It converts your content into related apps like your Twitter page and display content like photos, videos, music etc. you have to log in and submit all the information on the basis of which the company builds the app and then you can upload it on the iTunes.

So it doesn’t matter if you don’t know any thing about coding or Apple technologies, if you have a good idea then you can develop an app of your own through these tools that are apt for any kind of iPhone application development.

Mobile phones have changed the way people communicate. In the same way, smart phones, which provide computer-like functions, have changed the way people use their mobile phones.

Smart phones differ from ordinary mobile phones in two simple ways: how they are built and what they can do. Currently, the Apple 3GS iPhone and the BlackBerry Bold are arguably two of the best smart phones available in the market. Here’s how they match-up against each other:

DESIGN
The iPhone’s revolutionary touchscreen design has set the standard for future generations of smart phones. Nokia and Samsung have developed similar designs for their smart phones. There are also more than a hundred iPhone clones out in the market, all trying to cash in on the iPhone’s status. The 3GS iPhone looks virtually the same as its predecessor, the iPhone 3G. The Blackberry Bold is the best looking BlackBerry so far, but the iPhone’s design is an instant classic. Winner: iPhone 3GS

OPERATING SYSTEM
It takes a bit of time to get used to both the 3GS iPhone and the BlackBerry Bold. BlackBerry has always been known for usability focused on business applications. The BlackBerry phone has shortcut keys to get things done quickly, however, it’s still easier and faster to master the iPhone 3GS. Winner: iPhone 3GS

DISPLAY
The iPhone 3GS has a 3.5-inch screen with 320 x 480 pixels resolution and 16M colors. With a small 2.6-inch screen and only 16K colors, the Bold lags behind in this department not just against the iPhone but with other top smart phones as well. Winner: Apple iPhone 3GS

KEYBOARD
The BlackBerry Bold’s large keyboard took up some of the space that could have been used for the display but it’s worth it because it’s a pleasure typing in the full QWERTY keyboard, which has a sure and fast response. The iPhone’s virtual keyboard is flashy but it takes time to master fast and accurate typing. Though there’s an error correction system, it’s not reliable if there are a large number of mistakes. Functionality beats flashy in this round. Winner: BlackBerry Bold

APPLICATIONS
When it comes to applications, no smart phone comes close to the iPhone because it is the easiest platform to develop applications for. With thousands of developers creating millions of applications for the Apple App Store, the sky’s the limit for the Apple 3GS iPhone. Winner: Apple iPhone

SPEED & CONNECTIVITY
With an ARM Cortex A8 processor clocking 600 MHz and HDSPA speed up to 7.2 Mbps, it’s no wonder the ‘S’ in Apple iPhone 3GS stands for speed. However, the BlackBerry Bold is no slouch as it has a 624 MHz processor. Both smart phones are capable of communicating over Quad Band GSM network supporting frequency bands of 850/900/1800/1900, both are GPRS, EDGE and WiFi enabled, and both have Bluetooth A2DP support and USB Connectivity. While the BlackBerry Bold only has an HSDPA speed of 3.6 Mbps, there’s really no speed difference because there are currently no service providers that give 7.2 Mbps. Winner: Draw

CAMERA
The camera has been the iPhone’s “weakness” as a smart phone, but not over the BlackBerry Bold. The iPhone 3GS features a 3-megapixel camera with autofocus, a decent 640 x 480 resolution at 30fps and excellent audio. The BlackBerry Bold has a standard 2-megapixel camera with an LED flash. Winner: Apple iPhone 3GS

STORAGE
With 16GB and 32GB models, there’s no question that the iPhone 3GS trumps the BlackBerry, which only has 1GB of internal memory and can only support up to 8GB of external memory. Winner: iPhone 3GS

CALL QUALITY & BATTERY LIFE
Winner: Draw

THE VERDICT
The Apple iPhone 3GS is a worthy successor to its predecessors and the BlackBerry Bold is the best BlackBerry phone ever made. The iPhone 3GS is a consumer phone with something for everyone while the BlackBerry Bold maintains BlackBerry’s reputation as a business gadget. At the end of the day, it’s what the user needs that matters the most.

The Apple iPhone, among other PDA phones, is the most amazing phone today. Probably because it has great Internet capabilities, cool applications and of course, gorgeous 320 x 480 backlit screen. While those are enough reasons to buy an Apple iPhone, people flock to the iPhone because they can actually customize its applications. Here are the top two iPhone utilities that every iPhone user must have.

Marq application. This application allows you to get your message across to anyone you want to, in a very unique way. Marq is short for marquee, so if you know marquee tag, you probably have a picture of how your message is displayed on your iPhone.

Your message will be displayed in a powerful marquee-style method, which scrolls across your iPhone screen. Marq application is a fun addition to your iPhone. You can show your friends how creative you can be, by customizing the speed and color of the text. Using marq application is definitely a cool way to have your thoughts heard.

iRibbit application. This iPhone application serves more practical purpose than the marq app. It is like having eBay on your cell phone. This cool application allows you to not only view items that are up for bid, but they let you actually bid on items as well. If you are an eBayer, or simply an eBay fan who frequently checks out the eBay to see cool items, then you must have the iRibbit application on your iPhone.

This application actually won first place in the eBay International Widget Contest, so you do not have to worry about your bid’s security when you place it on iRibbit. You can bid in confidence that you are getting the upmost in security, stability and simplicity. If you own an iPhone and you use eBay for a living, iRibbit is definitely a must have.

Another good thing about using iRibbit on your iPhone is that you can create and manage a watch list, just like the way you do it on your computer.

There are a lot of applications available for your iPhone. It can be an application simply for entertainment or an application for a more serious purpose, like running an eBay store. Just make sure to download an application that really suits you best. These applications will give you the ability to enjoy your iPhone at its best.
