The Best Protection For Your Blackberry

The Best Protection For Your Blackberry

Are you one of the lucky ones? By lucky, I mean have you gotten your hands on a Blackberry yet? Whether you went out and bought one on your own or whether your employer has been gracious enough to get you one, a Blackberry is definitely something to protect. But this sleek smartphone deserves more than insurance and a touch screen protector.

You won't settle for anything less than a Blackberry so why should your Blackberry settle for protection that's anything less than the best? It shouldn't. In fact, it's worthy of the most protection your money (or your employer's) can buy.

Versatile, elegant and smart describe the Blackberry. Durable, flexible and attractive are three words that best describe the newest generation of protective film covering designed for every style of Blackberry, including the just-released Blackberry Bold.

Believe it or not, what gives electronic component protectors including touch screen protectors, Blackberry protectors, and cell phone protectors their durability is the same type of material that the military relies on to protect much of its own equipment used in harsh military environments. It's a super thin yet incredibly strong Urethane film cover that's flexible enough to conform to your Blackberry's every curve with cutouts everywhere they're needed. And there's no bulk either.

What's even more amazing is the material's ability to "remember" its shape. That memory helps the material retain its shape - even after being removed and reapplied - so it doesn't stretch out over time. It's also what helps retain that snug fit that's so important to the safety and protection of your precious Blackberry.

It's also what makes this the best protection material for all of your electronic devices including cell phone screen protectors, gaming devices, digital cameras, watches, MP3 players, and other mobile devices. If you aren't lucky enough to own a Blackberry but need an iPhone 3G case, Instinct case, Samsung phone cover, LG phone cover or other type of phone cover, you have to check out these plastic protective skins.

If you're wondering how something like a plastic Blackberry protective cover, iPhone 3G case or Samsung phone cover can be considered attractive, that's the result of what you can't see. The plastic is clear and that is what's so beautiful. And it's so thin it's practically invisible. So the only thing you really notice is your Blackberry's attractive features which are too pretty to cover up but a bit too delicate to be left unprotected.

Comparing iPhone to Blackberry is just like comparing a Mercedes E class with a Lincoln Towncar. The BB tried to imitate some goodies from the iPhone, but basically they remained with their Typical bulky looks. Here I am referring to Blackberry Storm or Blackberry Bold. Everyone has their own personal perception on differences.

iPhone Pros .....

- Sleek design and sexy looks.
- Excellent user interface.
- Excellent stability for most of the applications.
- The presence of lots of useful applications from the applications store is icing.
- If you are a Mac Programmer, you can make an application for your very own needs due to the availability of the excellent SDK.
- Easily the best to device to hit the market since.....well, BlackBerry. I love the screen size, the applications, ease of use, safari browser, its iconic status, push email etc etc

iPhone Cons ....

- Not yet great for enterprise use.
- Not as sturdy as the Blackberry and needs to be used delicately.
- Lacks the keyboards, which makes it really difficult to mail etc.
- Lacks Video recording.
- Lacks MMS, but this limitation is overcome as you have excellent browsing and mailing options.
- Can't forward SMS and a real struggle to get MMS. Another downside is you can't have multiple (non apple) apps running simultaneously which is a drawback if you want a decent sat nav application and then run something else!
- Battery life is a bit poor but this is probably because the thing is so damn irresistible, that the screen is on most of the day!

Since I am comparing iPhone with BB, the pros in iPhone are more like Cons in BB and vice versa.

Generally for the Bold - A real bruiser of a device and easier to compose emails than the iPhone. When you whip out a Blackberry, it says "this guy is all business" where as the iPhone says "this guy is fun". Most folks use any functionality other than email, calendar and contacts but that's always the way with a Blackberry - they just work!

It really boils down to the features that are critical to you. For eg, SMS usability, MMS, enterprise application integration, Flash, etc.

Both Apple and RIM are trying to reach beyond their usual demographic market which is only natural in this economy. The iPhone is a clever leisure gadget trying to make its way into the corporate world. The BB Storm comes from a no nonsense family of reliable corporate communications where it has cornered the market. Both have great features with minor drawbacks, however, its only a matter of time before both phones evolve to where the technical comparison is near comparable.

The only thing that will separate the two phones is clever marketing, cult followers, and consumer perceptions. Ask yourself if you'd rather close an important business deal with someone who carried an iPhone or Blackberry. The questions you'll need to ask is which phone would you want to be seen with by business associates? By friends? Which phone would be your preference because both, in time, will get the job done just the same.

For a more scientific approach I suggest that you list your requirements, and then prioritize or rank them. Then you can assess the features of iPhone vs Blackberry and score them. Finally, add up the score in the features list and you have your winner....
