    You broke your contract and Bought 1 Phone & 2 Blackberry's? Why not just 3 iPhone 3GS's?



    I was the iPhone luster. Wife didn't like no keyboard & smudges (yes, some people make decisions based on smudges!) - I talked her into a smartphone - Jitterbug was more her speed. Daughter already had a Touch and wanted to try a BB. They like the BBs. They are nice phones, but iPhone is more my style.

    Well I did say Her Majesty is driving in RR - not Her Majesty is driving RR.



    But I wouldn't expect her to drive Ranger on her own, anyway... is she?

    ...it's a very flawed study. And, that doesn't mean I have a problem with any implications, they're just based on bad data.

    I realize this is an Apple Fanboy site. Heck I own a MBP and own 4 iphones that are used by my employees. But to say that people who use an iphone are more productive than those on a Crackberry....well, that's just plain Bull Sheet. Business email is much easier today on a Crackberry than on a iphone. I have seen people on a Crackberry type much, much faster and with fewer errors than on an iphone. The key business apps exist on both platforms. And measuring productivity is massively subjective to begin with.



    What next, iphone people are prettier, smarter, have better breath? Come on, Appleinsider. Grow up. You are beginning to sound like FoxNews to post an article to support your point of view to make you and your readers feel better about themselves.



    You should be embarrassed to have even posted this BS on your web site.

    Hey look! It's one of those "take it from me I have 20 Macs and Apple sucks!" first time posters that we seem to get so many of! That are so persuasive and authentic seeming!



    Guess what? The article is citing a Forrester Research study, so if you want to go rail at them for being "fan boys", why don't you go do that instead of registering at a discussion board that mentioned it to explain how they're all full of shit and what not?

    First time poster....on this board, very active poster on Macrumors. My point, King of the Fanboys, was that it was a weak study, which others stated, and that it was a gratuitous article worthy of FoxNews. i was quite surprised that ApplInsider, a excelent source of Apple info, stooped to such an article. It must be a slow news day...



    The fact that you made it personal speaks volumes of your bullying tactics and your intellectual capabilities. And along those same lines, I was lmao when I read what others said about you on your profile.

    Oh noes, I've been called a fan boy by a none to bright douchebag. Whatever shall I do. Wait, what's this? An ignore button? Cool!

    No offense, but your wife needs to wash her hands more often!



    (Or she can just take an iPhone and rinse it by holding it under a slow stream of water at the kitchen sink. If she's downloaded "Waterboarding" from the App Store, it'll make strangled gurgling sounds for Dick Cheney's amusement.)

    This is the most retarded thing I've ever read.



    So one of the most popular, coolest, and expensive phones is in the hands of people making more than 70k a year!? NO WAI! Everyone who owns an iPhone is automatically a delicate genius!



    Seriously gay to post this article.

    "The research suggests that an employee with an iPhone could be more productive: Those who carry Apple?s handheld device are more likely to stay connected to their employer?s network. Workers with an iPhone also usually leave their laptop at work, suggesting the phone essentially replaces the need for a traditional full-form mobile computer.

    "





    Give me a break!!! I am also sure they are more attractive, not over weight, and have great teeth.



    iphone replace a mobile computer, is like saying that a pair of shoes replaces a car.



    Let's keep our immaginations in the realm of this solar system please.

    I'm poor and I don't have one. And I'm less productive at work. Why? I keep looking at the iPhone and the new features and drooling!

    I'm going to pinch pennies and bite bullet and get one in two months. So excited....

    Awesome. That's like an inside joke for Apple dorks and AI regulars.

    Baby mamas keeping Apple afloat!



    No kidding. Gotta love those people who are perfectly fit to work, sitting around collecting welfare and they have a nicer car than us working folks, nicer phone than us working folks. I am already getting old and bitter and cynical. Yay! Don't worry, it's probably not the welfare money though. It's probably the money from dealing drugs to middle schoolers.

    At least I'm gettin' an iPhone...that's definitely worth working a few weekends a year on extra stuff!
