Why do people buy Blackberries? As interpreted by CNN

I went from a Tour to a Droid X. I much preferred the keyboard and the LED on the Tour. Too bad mine was a piece of junk.

That's gotta be 3/4 of their client base right now, I don't know anyone who has one that isn't a "work" phone.

The LED is a DAMN good feature. I don't think its overappreciated at all. Throw on BerryBuzz, and you can get custom LED color alerts...so when a text comes in, blue light, e-mail red, call green, etc.

The lack of a notification light on the iPhone is the #2 reason (after lacking a decent notification system) that I haven't touched an iPhone since the 3G.

The only thing that pisses me off about the iphone is the screen and notification customization is zero to nil. they can easily make a perfect product and choose not too. Slowly they are. Copy and past was fixed, they now have a decent multitasking system, etc.

I think my biggest pet peeve with the iPhone is that the notification system sucks.

Overall though I think the iPhone does a lot of things right so I'm willing to accept those faults.

My friend who is a BB fan loves her BB keyboard and notification light.
