Democrats vs Republicans. Insurance vs Lawyers. Environment vs Economy. Coke vs Pepsi. Redskins vs Yankees.
There is a lot to argue about in Washington D.C. The most devisive debate, however, is not over politics, religion, or sports.
Oh no, the real partisan debate in Washington is over phones:
Blackberry vs. Iphone.
Like a Republican in the Obama administration, I thought I would be ’out of touch’ coming into the business world with my bright green iphone. Not so.
I have found the business world surprisingly divided over smart phones. It is a touchy subject, because people are fiercly loyal to whichever phone they happen to own.
Coming down on the iphone side of the debate, I find it humorous when blackberry owners depend on me to navigate the metro system and locate a starbucks. Although I don’t find it funny when they can download and view email attachments with ease.
Is the blackberry more professional? I don’t know.
Is the iphone more fun. Well, Duh.
Does it really matter? (Like most of the things in life that we fight about) Probably not.
