At the beginning, I was totally impressed with my iPhone, and thought that it was the best gadget ever made.

Now, I am convinced that Blackberry is a much better communication device, especially if you use your cell phone mainly for business purposes. In this article, I am stating five reasons why I think that Blackberry is better than iPhone as a business tool.
