Not so
"If people were serious about business they would own a Blackberry!" is true BB fanboi speak. Like Jason said in his article, the iOS and Android phones are easier to use (not just the menus you have to navigate through; if you are anywhere short of a sports star in terms of coordination, that stupid little trackpad thingy is seriously difficult to control) and the iPhone and Galaxy et al give you every bit as much email as you need. With more control over when or if you receive mail - I found being able to "do" mail from my BB very convenient, for about a day, but then the constant beeping for every stupid spam mail or backup notification just got too annoying to handle so I switched it off and didn't receive mail on the damn thing at all.

With an iPhone you have the option to receive mail when you want it, or not at all. Which means your battery lasts much longer too. There is nothing more "businesslike" about Blackberry, except their terminology and the fact that you can install their software on a server inside the network, giving the Lusers out there the false impression that the BB is somehow "better". It isn't, it's just different.

If you left and wish you hadn't, examine your motivations. Could be you are an obsessive-compulsive who needs to let go of your email dependancy.
