I\u2019m presently on my third BlackBerry.\u00a0 And for the lives of my contracts I\u2019ve been steadfast in my assertion that the BlackBerry is better for business, in much the same way that all my life I\u2019ve lobbied for the use of PCs despite the bells and whistles of the fancy Macintosh.\u00a0 Oh, but there are cracks in this egg of mine.\u00a0\u00a0 The cracks are twofold.\u00a0 The first crack happened when I purchased my first iPad just over a year ago, and the second crack appeared when my wife purchased her first iPhone just a few months ago.\u00a0 Now the iWorld has infiltrated my household and I\u2019m not sure there\u2019s any turning back!<\/p>\n
Why have I maintained the BlackBerry is better for business though?\u00a0 Sure, I\u2019m more than content with my phone\u2019s ability to email, both with how quickly and efficiently it receives emails and how I\u2019m able to send them with little fuss.\u00a0 I also appreciate the full keyboard with actually buttons.\u00a0 It\u2019s made emailing and texting easier, with fewer errors, and it\u2019s bolstered my fascination of the human mind to so adeptly adapt to typing on a standard qwerty keyboard with thumbs rather than fingers, the two digits whose only former duty was to access the space bar.\u00a0 Wow.\u00a0 Human minds.\u00a0 Incredible.\u00a0 But let\u2019s say, for the sake of argument, that I was on the road, without my laptop, and needed to discern the federal per diem rate for Savannah, GA.\u00a0 I know exactly where to find this information and had I not memorized it, I could call up the answer in less than fifteen seconds at home.\u00a0 But to access the World Wide Web, if you will, on my 3G BlackBerry, to scroll around that webpage once it finally decides to open, to select a hyperlink and navigate a table to find the data \u2013 this could take minutes, and only if I had a good signal.\u00a0 Otherwise, it might time out completely.<\/p>\n
Since the viability of entrepreneurship rests not only in the quality of my work but also the speed at which this one man operation can perform, it\u2019s no longer sufficient to be content with a device which can email well. \u00a0I need to be able to access information as quickly as the next guy.\u00a0 Sure, it\u2019s nice to enjoy the gaming features and use the phone as a camera, a wallet, a vehicle, a time machine, an invisibility cloak \u2013 who doesn\u2019t love those things?\u00a0 But for me it\u2019s about speed and ease and BlackBerry doesn\u2019t own the market on it.\u00a0 iDo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
