Iphone vs Blackberry just show what they do ad guys

I was at a friends house recently, I know what your thinking which friend as I am Mr popular (just playing) and we were all debating the iPhone versus the blackberry. The iPhone 3G is pretty awesome and whenever I have used one I have been left with that tingling feeling inside that special feeling you get when you eat krispy kremes or when your football team wins a game they should have lost. I am really impressed by the app store and by the Internet capabilities of the device. As soon as I get 'that' job offer from a cool agency seeking a handsome, hardworking and enthusiastic account exec I will maybe just maybe seriously consider upgrading to an iPhone 3G.

On the other hand I am not really that impressed by the blackberry although, admittedly I have spent less time researching blackberry's I like the look of the curve and I hear its Internet capabilities are pretty good too. the blackberry advert in the UK has the premise that blackberry phones leave the whole world in your hands which is a little bit predictable but honestly I don't think I cam come up with something better currently as I have the sniffles and a chesty cough. While the iPhone 3G advert is just a demo of what the phone can do (albeit with sequences shortened). Maybe the best way to advertise technology is to just show what it can do rather than promising you the whole world? I believe that this is the case. Its far more compelling to watch the iPhone hand actor guy search for restaurants by shaking his iPhone using an app from the app store rather than hearing a VO (voice over) telling me the phones great. But I do know many people with blackberrys and they love them so much they call them crackberrys (crack = the drug) which just points out how addictive blackberrys are . Now or soon blackberrys will be coming out on payg aimed at a younger market so they must be doing something right...right?

Anyone from Apple wishing to send me a free iPhone 3G please ensure its the 16gb one and feel free to chuck in a mac book and a maybe an iTouch for my sister! Heres an iPhone spoof ad which is kind of funny.
