Erm.. Which one is better from three of these phones? Honestly each one of them has their own Pros and Cons of cause. I have had an iPhone 2G & 3G for two years but now I changed to HTC Hero which I’ve used 4months now. Blackberry? Erm.. haven’t use that one yet but maybe near future (still thinking about it heheh).

Credit to ronald9898 for his observation about these three Phone. Of cause I will added some of it base on my experience on iPhone and HTC Hero. Observations are based on Touch Screen, Messaging, Size, Personality and Application.

Touch Screen:
Iphone is the best followed by HTC Hero for the sensitivity. Both iPhone and HTC Hero on-screen keyboard are responsive compare with any touch screen mobile. Blackberry Bold is perfect size for one hand operation with a keyboard. In term of screen, HTC Hero (3.2-inches) only few mm smaller than iPhone (3.5-inches) and Blackberry Bold screen is too small for watching movies.

Messaging:
For this I have to say that Blackberry Bold won. The simplistic way Blackberry handles multiple email accounts and texting is way better compare with HTC Hero and iPhone. HTC Hero is lacks some responsiveness when opening emails while iPhone does open HTML email and larger email better than the Blackberry Bold but of cause to load the larger email will course delays/lagging or even Force Close/crash screen.

Size:
If we talking about the screen, Yes iPhone is larger but seems perfect for a touch screen only device. HTC Hero is a very convenient size but the size hurts the complete touch screen functionality since its not as responsive as iPhone while as for Blackberry Bold screen is smaller than the other two but having a keyboard seems to make messaging faster but not navigation through multiple screens like the other two.

Personality:
For personality a thumb up to HTC Hero. HTC Hero come with a Sense UI (User Interface) technology which you can great your own theme it sort of your own theme to express yourself. IPhone doesn’t have the ability to completely change your theme but you can only move the icons. Icons will always be present (what if you want a list or columns cause the icons are clunky and space hogs?) No way to make your iPhone customized to the point where you can use application as a home screen e.g. Clock, calendar, etc. iPhone themes and looks are just too generic No Personality.

Sorry forks as I don’t own Blackberry before so am not sure this function on Blackberry but am pretty sure it will be same as iPhone or maybe the icon can’t move at all as Blackberry is a business centric device.

Application:
Now there have thousands of applications you can download from Apps Store for iPhone (some come with free and some are paid software). Once you have jailbreak the iPhone, the application range will be even greater! As for HTC Hero the phone use Android as its operating system (OS), android has come a long way and most of the application are free but sometimes the application for Android are now stable. You need Apps Store to download iPhone application while HTC Hero you need Android Market to download the application. Unfortunately Blackberry can’t beat the other two as it has a limited of choice in the Blackberry app store.

Okeh.. If you can make a iPhone with the applications and customization or a HTC Hero or Android phone with the stability of iPhone apps, faster processor in phone, higher resolution and more responsive touch screen, you will have the perfect phone. My opinion on Blackberry Bold... it plays as professional phone or for business purposes. If you prefer a nice toy to play with then better get HTC Hero or iPhone.
