blackberries are way faster then an iphone they are super to keep in contact
with home business whatever way cheaper then sms of course ,.On a bb
keyboard one can type 4 times faster then on an i phone it,s the same with
pc,s and mac,s indeed.If you are into cutting edge gaming or spreadsheeting
whatever pc,s are a lot faster as well.
sorry for the yuckspeak all the best,simon
