While the BlackBerry was once considered the most popular smartphone, today it appears that the iPhone is taking over that role-especially in the business world. Last month, two Deutsch Bank analysists traded in their BlackBerrys for iPhones, in order to do a two-month trial. One of the analysists concluded that "after testing corporate email on iPhone for the past few months, there is no going back" (Whitmore). Now, UBS confirmed that over 1,000 staff members are participating in a pilot program with the iPhone or the iPad. Several workers have expressed that it is much easier and faster to access data on the iPhone than on the BlackBerry. Last year, Standard Chartered became the first bank to switch to Apple, as it gave iPhones to 15,000 of its employees. I believe that several other companies will begin using iPhones as well. iPhones have a very well-respected reputation. With pilot programs in place like the one with UBS, I believe that several workers will favor the iPhone. While I have never owned a BlackBerry or an iPhone, several of my friends own iPhones and are extremely happy with them. Today, it seems that more people favor iPhones over BlackBerry's. If I had a choice, I would pick the iPhone because I am a big fan of Apple products, and trust their company. I have also heard many wonderful things about the iPhone, whereas I have heard that the Blackberry has slow Internet.
