Although I have to say that I am not a huge, huge fan of blackberries – crackberries is more like it, I have to say that they are not only one of the most popular phones in the world but they also have some of the best technology packed inside of them.  Take the WedOS platform that they just released.  This allows your palm to be linked up to your current version of iTunes so you can have access to your photos, music and videos.

The cool thing about this update is that there is also some software to support emoticons in the messaging applications, enhanced EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) support and finally, you can set ‘person reminders’ which allows you to remind yourself about certain people.  Really, this new update is going to be seamless update for any media that you are looking for.

Another thing?  It really will make your phone into something that you can use all over the world – and it will be one of the most important pieces for you in the world.

The Sony Ericsson T715 has all sorts of different features including: 2.2-inch QVGA display with 256K colors, a 3.2MP camera with Photo light, a new UI feature, a music player, a Stereo FM radio with RDS, Google Maps, a 90MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot and Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP.  However, you also get the satisfaction of getting a Sony Ericsson phone itself.

This particular phone is supposed to hit the markets by the third quarter of this year and it actually will come in two different colors, a pink and a silver, as listed here.  No word on pricing yet!

These two phones have a rivalry that equals the competition found between Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan; Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield; Jack in the Box and Burger King; Baskin Robbins and Cold Stone Creamery — well, you get the idea.

The answer, as found in an NPD survey, may very well surprise you. Most folks anticipated that during the first quarter of 2009, the iPhone would sweep across the board as the number one smartphone. That has not proven to be the case, however.

The survey reveals that, in all of the United States, Apple’s iPhone 3G takes second place. It is the runner up to the Research in Motion Blackberry Curve.

Following the first two spots are the Blackberry Storm in third place; the Blackberry Pearl — but not the Pearl Flip — in fourth place, and the T-Mobile G1 in fifth. Clearly, the Blackberries are the ones sweeping the boards.

Blackberries are something that every business person in the world has right now.  However, just like the commercials, there are those butt dialing moments and that is why the flip blackberry was created and to be quite frank, I think that the flip blackberry is a genius idea!  Not only does it look incredible, but take the Verizon’s 3G BlackBerry Pearl Flip that comes out on the 19th of this month – it looks sexy!

Another great thing about this phone in particular is the fact that it is only about $129.00 after a $70.00 mail-in rebate.  That is absolutely nothing for a blackberry phone which are usually upwards of $300.00, so why aren’t you buying one?  They are awesome looking, sexy, packed with technology and all around are the best phones in the world.

Just remember, Verizon’s 3G BlackBerry Pearl Flip!

The HTC Snap – come one, let’s talk about this incredible phone … well, sometimes incredible phone.  Not only is this phone insanely attractive, but this phone is kind of a dud in my book.  There really isn’t a lot to the technology in this phone and while HTC’s are usually the end all and be all of phones, this one just seems to fall flat for me.

The keyboard is not something that I really like and while you can add your email addresses in, the technology itself is not all that great.  The camera is the only thing that I really, really like and I have to say that the overall handset looks awesome but that is about all I really, really like about this phone.

So if you are looking for a phone that you think is going to be good – you might want to do your research before you get yourself the HTC Snap … it could be a disappointment for you too!

So let’s give some props to the Blackberry Storm.  This phone is definitely one for the records.  Not only is it super easy to type out e-mails or text messages with the built in touch screen keyboard, but you can pretty much pick up internet anywhere and everywhere.

Another great thing about this particular phone is the fact that it has a 5MP camera which seriously … is incredible!  Not only will you be able to take awesome pictures but you can post them online right after you take them!

Blackberries are never going to go away, I know that, you know that – they are one of those things that people are going to always own and I love that.  Personally, I do not have a blackberry, but I am thinking about getting one and I definitely will be getting the blackberry storm for it is truly one incredible phone!
