Since I’ve bashed the iPhone and Android phones because of their lack of privacy and security, some readers have asked me what phone would I actually like. The answer is that it’s the same phone that I’ve been using for the last 4 years. The Blackberry. Why? Here’s a short list:
- It has business class e-mail that is as close to bulletproof as you can get.
- Unlike the iPhone, the development platform is open.
- It’s secure.
- It’s easy to use.
- It’s Canadian.
Okay. The last point has nothing to do with technology. But these are all points that should matter to smartphone users. It really doesn’t matter what model Blackberry you get, but you should just get one. Granted the eye candy isn’t there compared to the iPhone and Android phone. But do you buy a phone for eye candy or do you buy a phone because it works? I buy my phone based on the latter. You should too.
