My personal opinion is that Droid has a better operating system, and better phones, but the amazing software that is available for developing iphone games (x-code) and the wide market for those games has created the most amazing app store for the Iphones which can't be beat by droid.

All in all, Iphone wins for now, but the droid id catching up.
 
Yes I do give pre-consumer RIM props. Their 8800 series of phone was the best messaging device ever created. Weeks of battery life, epic keyboard, reliable network coverage, and bombproof design. The 9000, I think, was the pinnacle of ergonomics, speed, and durability. I took mine swimming more than once.

After RIM tried to target the mainline consumer market, their hardware, and more importantly their reliable software went to hell.

If you need a MESSAGING device, there is no substitute, sorry. The security of a BB and their proprietary servers is still unmatched by Apple. A hard keyboard is better for most too.

RIM still dominates the secure enterprise environment.

Ok, NOW I agree with you. You didn't give details as to why you preferred BBs; and bluntly put, most don't approach it from that POV. But having given the qualifications you did, as a government IT pro who works with these everyday, would agree with this 100%. :) But for regular consumers? Not a chance.

'Zactly.

The majority of consumers, especially those that know nothing, are happy that iOS "just works" which it does very well.

True. I do own an iPhone 4, but that's not why I like it. I do use it all the time, at work and at home, for personal, 'on the side' and professional use. There are certain things that I need/needed to be able to do that I flat out could not do with a BB (e.g., connect to my Army email account, as well as some other things).

Plus, I'm one of those rare guys who can type tons faster without a physical keyboard. *shrug*

I will say that I was very happy with my Blackberry Bolds, right up until they blew up (one in my pocket, one in my hand). LOL
 
Apple has bought the company that invented SWYPE...so, hopefully, SWYPE will come to Apple in the near future. SWYPE is amazing once you know it.
 
I have a Droid Incredible (almost 2 years now). I love the freedom and the apps that it has. I think I paid for 2 of the 75 apps I have on my phone now!

My wife got a iPhone 4S the day they were released and I picked up an iPad a month of so before that.

Like I said, I love the droid apps, I can not find a match for 95% of mine that I have loaded on the apple app store. The ones I find all want $$, which is annoying as I have a better version for free on my other phone, wtf?!

That being said, the droid is unstable! It can be laggy, slow, freeze, and have odd quirks now and then. The other day the camera app would load but the screen was black, had to restart the phone to get my camera back. You can't sync your apps to anything (not any HTC software I have found). Verizon released an update for the OS, phone got screwed up, had to write down and re-install ALL 75 apps!

Her iPhone and the iPad is so smooth, no hickups, no issues, flawless.....but the selection of apps suck compared to the droid ones.

I have a love/hate relationship with the droid - it was all love at 1st, but that has been fading recently with the issues. I will look this spring at new phones, and look at both, but currently I am leading towards an iPhone. I have seen and used both daily so I am not so biased...yet :)
