Study Finds iPhone Twice As Reliable As BlackBerry
An anonymous reader writes "As reported at TechCrunch, 'The iPhone is twice as reliable as the BlackBerry after one year of ownership, a new study by SquareTrade finds. SquareTrade, which sells extra warranties for cell phones and other devices, looked at the failure rates of 15,000 phones covered under its plans. The malfunction rate for iPhones after one year is 5.6 percent, compared to 11.2 percent for the BlackBerry and 16.2 percent for the Treo.' The full report (pdf) can be found at the SquareTrade site."
Addendum: Notice I didn't mention any of MicroSoft's offerings, because they're pure crap, without exception, and others were left out because I never had opportunity to use them. I know that some Treo models were made with WinCE or whatever, and they sucked more donkey cock than a Tijuana hooker. These would be the exception to my Treo vs. BlackBerry preference.

"strong control of devices by central IT policy"
...which apparently means...
"no one can remove apps from your blackberry"
"no restrictions on what you do with it"
Did you even read this while you were typing it? I can understand people being fan boys of shinies they chose and bought but being a fan boy for a corporate tool is kind of sad.
Bad analogies are like waxing a monkey with a rainbow.
