Blackberry VS I-Phone

So sometimes I sit here in my apartment thinking, "should I go running or do homework, running or homework"..sometimes it's a long constant battle, and so naturally i decided on blogging and watching Modern Family with my roommates, i know i am so proactive :).

Trying to be friends


Yesterday I had an unfortunate BUT "good" experience. As I was getting ready to leave my apartment for the day with my Blackberry phone in my hand, I pulled my keys out and went to lock my door, as I was putting my key in the door my phone dropped bounced off the cement and down to the second level of stairs. At this moment my heart sunk I basically had no hope for my Blackberry but i still ran down to pick it up just to see that the screen was broken. At this point I tried restarting my phone and taking the battery out and putting it back in...and still broken screen...AWESOME. Keep in mind I got this phone for my birthday last year...so I hadn't had it for a full year yet..boo

After an 1 1/2 hours of my heat hurting, a pit in my stomach, the help from my great friend Lauren, the wonderful funds of my Amazing Parents, and help from the Verizon tech guy, and my awesome phone upgrade  I become the semi-proud owner of an I-phone :)


Why I Miss my Blackberry
  • The blinking light/notification style
  • Keyboard style
  • The Blackberry symbol on the back
  • It was the cool phone used in Gossip Girl :)
  • I knew how everything worked






Why I am Excited for the I-Phone
  • I have everything i love in one place: phone, music, scriptures
  • lots of fun aps
  • Touch screen (which is super hard to get used to)
  • It's pretty high tech
  • I can give my phone voice commands 





Getting used to new phones is always a hard thing, and I am sure i will be used to/an I-phone pro in a couple months, but Sometimes i wonder if i made the right choice because i was a pretty loyal blackberry owner, So what are your thoughts with Blackberry vs I-phone. Also if any of you have any I-phone tricks just sure let me know :)
