BlackBerry Bold as well as the iPhone 3G are the latest choice of many. BlackBerry fans will surely be going for Bold and nothing to say about the iPhone 3G. It is awesome. Here is a brief comparison of both the handsets.

Designs of BlackBerry Bold and iPhone 3G
BlackBerry Bold has the sharpest and cleanest design. It looks completely good with the black face, the chrome borders and of course for its sides. The layout looks simple and more than impressive.

On the other hand the iPhone 3G has the iconic handset design. It can be easily recognized from its design that it is iPhone. 3G is only a logical extension of the earlier iPhone models. One may not find more sexy and solid design than iPhone. It has gorgeous screen with matching either black or white back. It is a true Apple product.

Build quality of BlackBerry Bold and iPhone 3G
BlackBerry Bold is extremely built good. If someone don’t mind the minor scratches and such other things then it can last as long as one wants. It is lighter than its look.

The iPhone also stays long unless one is not talking about military grade cellphones. It even goes well with scratching and concrete dropping. The screen of iPhone 3G has been proved to stand even with lots of abuse.

Size of BlackBerry Bold and iPhone 3G
BlackBerry Bold is the biggest in the range of BlackBerry released till date. It is even larger than BlackBerry 8800 and it is in fact a little hard to hold sometimes.

iPhone 3G is tad built taller than the BlackBerry Bold. It is thinner in comparison and even less wide. It is in fact better to hold than BlackBerry Bold.

Screen of BlackBerry Bold and iPhone 3G
The screen of BlackBerry Bold is better than iPhone 3G. The graphics, the text-based content, the videos and everything looks better on BlackBerry Bold.

Applications of BlackBerry Bold and iPhone 3G
Honestly speaking the tools that the developers use are outdated on BlackBerry Bold but there are some loyal RIM developers that work on applications.

Price Tag of BlackBerry Bold – $199-$200

Price Tag of iPhone 3G – $199 (8GB) and $299 (16GB)

It is a fact that small free applications created by non Apple programmers will experience problems. Often the first releases of these small applications are not stable and well-designed and will take a little time before all problems are sorted and application made stable.

At times you might find that some applications, when opening them, will only take you back to the iPhone’s Home screen. Some applications might even restart your iPhone. Here are some recommendations you can follow in order to troubleshoot problematic applications:

Step 1 – Restart the Application
Attempt to restart the application again. Often, restarting an application for a second time might work.

Step 2 – Restart the iPhone
Simply hold down the Sleep switch at the top of the iPhone until the ‘Slide to Power Off’ note appears. Simply slide your finger in order to turn off the iPhone and restart it again.

Step 3 – Reinstall the Application
Firstly, you will need to remove the application from your iPhone. Then visit the App store again and re-download the application. You will be notified that you have already purchased the application. Simply tap ‘OK’ and you will receive a notification that you will not be charged again for the application.

Step 4 – Reset Your iPhone
If you experience your iPhone to freeze or become totally unresponsive, it is suggested that you reset the iPhone. In order to reset the iPhone, simply hold down both the Home and Sleep buttons for at least 10 seconds. The phone will shut down, after which you can turn it on again.

If all above fails and the application is still not working, you can report this to Apple. A team of technicians will investigate and often this will fix any errors you may be experiencing with the application.
