The Open Road —
I love my iPhone and have never felt tempted to return to the Blackberry, but I was still rolling my eyes at TechCrunch 's report of the iPhone being "twice as reliable as the Blackberry" .

... things, a 6% difference isn’t that much of gap between the two. I might be a bit biased, but I would hardly call my Bold unreliable. However, the survey does provide a lot of comparative perspective, and certainly justifies in one way why sales and customer satisfaction are higher among iPhone users; the smartphone feature sets may be comparable across the board, but how well those functions continue to work over the long haul could be the deciding differentiator.
