The level of technology and digital prowess we've accomplished in today's society is not only big and beautiful, but also petty and gravely competitive. Our latest digital obsession was the iPhone and I can say with absolute certainty that I didn't jump on the proverbial bandwagon. Up until the introduction of the iPhone, the Blackberry, or perhaps better known in some diehard circles as the crack berry, was ruling as the king supreme in the data phone department.

If you'll allow me to make some confessions I'd like to say that I was one of those naysayers when it came to the age of the data phone versus a regular cell. Why do we want more functions in a smaller product, when we could concentrate on the phone qualities being pinpoint and the phone working to the best of its ability? However I can admit when I was wrong, and I was, 'cause it is safe to say that the data phone is definitely an organizing tool in today's fast paced 12-hour workday environment.

Now that the new iPhone 3G has reared its head, the Blackberry Storm is not far behind. Destined hit the stores in time for the holiday season the Storm boasts a comparable if not superior list of iPhone like qualities. But which one is better? The iPhone is a bit sleeker in size as the Blackberry has hard buttons at the bottom of the phone, which takes away from its ability to have a completely refined simplicity.

As for the large touch/display screens that both products possess the iPhone wins out there as well by a ¼ of an inch. That apparently is where the Apple brainchild gets a little lashing from the rough Storm. The Storm is listed to have an extra hour of talk time boasting 6 hours while the iPhone does 5. The sad 2-mega-pixel camera built in the iPhone pales in comparison to the beefy 3.2 the Storm offers, and the video recording that the iPhone just can't do is available in spades with the Blackberry counter part at 30 fps.

Last but not least for you big women and big men, both the iPhone and the Storm have refined there touch screen execution have each contact point have a smarter digital attack that avoids double button taps. Bottom line is there is room in the world for all of us. The iPhone while a great media phone and slick as a button is a different option from the more mature Blackberry Storm, which is incredibly office function friendly and still capable of having a good time. The choice is yours ladies and gentlemen, and in the big and beautiful dating world, a little digital edge my make all the difference.
