It’s nearly impossible to find someone without a cell phone. Both landlines and cell phones cost money, so it’s not hard to understand why people are only paying for their mobile option. All phones obviously allow you to receive and make calls, and now there isn’t a phone on the Market incapable of sending text messages, but some phones are wildly more popular than others. This deserves exploration.
Amongst businessmen, the phone of choice is the Blackberry. Not surprisingly, this is the most businesslike option in that it’s a no-nonsense email interface with the most popular keyboard. People required to send heavy amounts of long emails a day prefer this no frills phone. ‘Pinning’ is also a favourite feature unique to the Blackberry network. A popular feature from the bosses perspective (not so much from the employees necessarily!) is the ability to determine whether a sent message has been read. At first, Blackberries did not even come with a camera because it was simply known as the business phone, and most employers don’t want their people taking pictures or videos behind the scenes. This has since changed, but it speak to the degree to which Blackberry is known as the business phone.

Amongst teenagers and young adults there’s no doubt about the Iphones reigning popularity. This is because the device successfully transcends the mundane functions of a phone into a sleek, sophisticated object with capabilities expanding each day. Iphones don’t just access the internet, they transform it. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that, as a device, the Iphone is the internet incarnated. No other device so easily or totally reflects the character of the user. Everything can be customized and personalized, and the functions of the device are catered specifically to the owners’ interests and needs. The touch screens’ typing features have been ironed out in recent generations, addressing early complaints that it was a little difficult to use. It is different than the Blackberry’s raised letters with the clicking sound (one of the most popular Blackberry features) but Iphone users get used to their keyboards, and besides, they are so occupied by the innumerable ways of busying themselves that they don’t complain about typing. In fact, people are so enamored by Iphones that they overlook the occasional glitch and breakdown. Especially in the earlier generations, people attributed malfunctions to a single unfortunate incident, and not some larger pattern, even though Blackberries never really suffered the same problem at any time. In any case, this too has been smoothed out and Iphones are considerably more reliable.
When people need the most reliable, efficient means of communication they tend to look to the Blackberry. But the Iphone is ultimately more popular because it is substantially more than just a phone, and even with all the apps and cool software, it’s communication interface is reliable and easy to use. The extras you get with the Iphone aren’t merely a gimmick: millions of people can’t be wrong!
