I got my iPhone a couple of months ago, after being a loyal blackberry user for more than three years. I just had the little contraption! it really is a great gadget.

After using it extensively for some time, I have to say that I do love a lot of it’s features. Specially the navigation. The safari is really smooth when you are reading a blog, checking stats or just surfing.

However, the keyboard really sucks (or I suck when trying to type on that!). It’s really impossible to get anything written without a hundred errors.  Maybe I should get a keyboard for it?

There is a range of keyboard solutions for the iPhone, although none of them is a definitive solution.

There’s the “MacAlly BTKeyMini Apple iPhone keyboard Blue Tooth”, (long name for keyboard for iPhone), but I couldn’t find it in the MacAlly website, so maybe they are not producing it anymore.

The 4iThumbs sounds like a good idea, but the installation looks like a pain in the ass. (plus the ad sucks)

Now the iTwinge iPhone Keyboard looks promising, and is more like a real keyboard solution.

I think I will try this last one, since it seems the most practical solution.

Off I go to back-order.

Blackberry has it all, starting with a REAL keyboard, real sincronization, Bluetooth and much more. Why, it even has Copy & Paste! (I am being sarcastic here).

Now, the new version of Blackberry is just around the corner, code named “Storm”. I can really wait to get my hands in this beauty.

Not much information on the new BlackBerry Storm, I only found a reference to it in Gizmodo

Staying Connected
With BlackBerry’s push email technology, your email will find you without having to initiate a connection. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, notifying you as new email arrives. In addition to the text, you can also receive and view attachments in a wide range of popular file formats, including Microsoft Office, Corel WordPerfect, and Adobe PDF.

Browse the web with the integrated, full-featured browser, which quickly and efficiently displays HTML pages as well as enables you to set up RSS feeds to stay connected to up-to-the-minute news and blog posts. And keep up with your contacts using a variety of instant message (IM) networks, including the integrated Blackberry Messenger as well as downloadable clients for Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, and Lotus Sametime.

For corporate users, the Curve delivers all the enterprise email and messaging capabilities you’ve come to expect. It’s supported on BlackBerry Internet Service, giving you access to up to 10 work or personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts), as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server, enabling advanced security and IT administration within IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise environments.

So, what does a Bored IT needs a Blackberry for? I started monitoring my servers (I am a control freak), but now I let my dedicated server provider do the dirty job for me. Still, the thing looks great on my desk!
