Are you BlackBerry or iPhone?

Nov. 9, 2009

Research in Motion is courting consumers with its BlackBerry. Apple is making inroads in the office with its iPhone. Here's a simple quiz to determine your smartphone type:

Who pays your monthly bill?

(A) Work does: I'm one of the 74% of executives in the U.S. who got my BlackBerry from the boss.
(B) Work does: Thanks to Apple's new software for wiping my phone when I lose it, my office is one of 20% of businesses that now support the iPhone. So I've got options.
(C) I do: No way I'm going to let the dweebs in the IT department tell me which handheld to use.

2. How did you use your phone at work today?

(A) I downloaded an Excel spreadsheet to review a budget statement, then e-mailed comments to a distribution list.
(B) I was on the road, so I entered customer complaints into my Salesforce.com application.
(C) I put my phone on mute and set a new personal best on Atari Missile Command during my conference call.

3. Which mobile phone network is right for you?

(A) Whatever I have now. I'm not paying a fee to break my contract.
(B) I'd love to watch YouTube on my phone, but coverage is terrible where I live.
(C) I don't like any of the carriers. I'm more interested in having the phone with the coolest features.

4. Which best describes your e-mail habits?

(A) I like to use a good cross-country flight to power through my in-box and hammer out 50 to 75 priority replies.
(B) I read e-mails as they arrive but respond only to emergency messages.
(C) E-mail is for suits. If anybody needs to know what I'm up to they can read my Twitter feed.

5. What's your favorite app?

(A) What's an app?
(B) I just signed up for Facebook. Can you do that on a phone?
(C) I felt really bloated after dinner at the Indian restaurant I found with UrbanSpoon last night, so I downloaded this exercise app called iPumpPilates to work off the naan.

Score

Key: A = 5 Points. B = 10 Points. C = 15 Points.

• Less than 50 points: You're a BlackBerry.
• 50 Points or more: You're an iPhone.
