Mobility is a critical part of any IT infrastructure nowadays, everyday users demand smaller and convenient gadgets to help them make their work easier and fun. So, when it comes to choose what better suits your users you have a few options.
In this post I want to point out a few conveniences for both parties, the user and IT when it comes to choose between a Blackberry and a Windows Smartphone.
The blackberry curve pale gold is very sleek, with its pearl trackball and seductive rounded corners is guaranteed to make people fall in love. it features a full QWERTY keyboard, it comes with integrated WIFI to hook up to any wireless network.
It also allow you to make calls though the Internet when using any T-mobile hotspot. the blackberry curve pale gold comes loaded with all up to date media stuff like 2.0 megapixels camera, music player etc. It comes with a Micro SD memory slot to increase storage space to a reasonable size, bluetooth capabilities, e-mail, text messages, full browser. etc etc.
The bad thing about the blackberry Curve-pale gold is that the camera does not record videos (only pictures) and the browser is not as sophisticated as those of other phones.
if you run exchange server for message communication on your organization, and want to use the device with full outlook capabilities, the blackberry curve is not good. You need to synchronize your computer with the device physically using a USB cable in order to sync contacts and calendar entries. You can either receive e-mails messages using a desktop redirector software on your desktop, or through the Internet.
The price for the Blackberry Curve Pale Gold ranges $450.99 – $499.99
The T-mobile Dash is a less aesthetic phone than the blackberry curve, but when it comes to functionally it is as beautiful as it can get. the Dash features Windows Mobile OS, which is basically windows in miniature, with outlook client to take care of your e-mails, contacts and calendar entries.
It has Internet explorer as the browser, and Windows Media Player for audio playing. it has wireless capabilities, but unlike the blackberry curve, you cannot make phone calls through WIFI on the Dash.
The Full QWERTY keyboard on the Dash is sure to make you happy when texting or composing e-mails. opening word, excel attachments is not a hastle with many built-in Microsoft applications on this phone.
If you run exchange server on your organization this device will make your life easier when it comes to synchronization. unlike the blackberry curve, the dash automatically connect to exchange server for e-mails, contact, calendar, etc. No wires or constant synchronization required, this device stay connected to the server, as long as you have reception and a data plan.
The bad thing about the Dash is the Volume strip, is a hastle try to increase or decrease the volume. the 1.3-megapixel camera is far from perfect.
The price of the T-mobile Dash ranges $250.99 – $299.99
Best for corporate usage? The DASH
Best for regular usage? Blackberry Curve Pale-Gold
