Verizon iPhone, AT&T, Blackberry and Sprint

Well the Verizon iPhone is coming out this week, I have a 3Gs on AT&T and will be canceling service next month, but I'm not getting a Verizon iPhone I'm staying with my Blackberry on Sprint. The iPhone will be pay-as you go on AT&T. Now that AT&T has competition on the iPhone they may be easier to work with......probable not. They generally the worse company to work with. I use my iPad for everything mostly being OLD! (ok I said it I'm 51) I just can't see stuff on the iphone as well and iPad app's generally much more productive, I'll upgrade to the iPad 2 if it has camera's! My Sprint Blackberry doesn't do games but it does email, IM, Phone, SMS, Facebook and Tweeter and the Camera works better than my iPhone 3gs (I can take a picture and post to Facebook or Tweeter from inside the Camera app) and since the iPad doesn't have a camera it great! The only thing I wish the Blackberry had that it doesn't is WiFi sharing that will be on the Verizon iPhone and thats on Android and Palm. For kids the iPhone is by far the best but what can I say I really like the qwerty keyboard on my BB. Pleople ask me why I think Sprint is the best and I tell them: It a combination of the Blackberry and Sprint that has kept me happy. Sprint prices our just MUCH cheaper than AT&T and Verizon. Most of you know I have a daughter that travels the world, I still pay the phone bill and International data on sprint is only $20 more a month! The Blackberry has it's own messaging system called BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) it's like SMS on steroids and it part of data (No rip off of texting cost) I can BBM Rachel and if it get to her BB it tell's me "D" meaning delivered and if she read it, then it goes to "R" for read. Don't have to worry if she got the message or not! until then I'll stay with Blackberry PERIOD! END OF STORY

I've been using tech since before Apple and Microsoft were companies and PEOPLE (i.e. most of you) get things backwards. You make a list with what you want to do and you prioritize it, then you find the software that will do that and then you buy the hardware that run's the software! Most buy the iPhone or the Android and then see how to make it do what they want. I think the iPhone is great but as great as it is guess what IT CAN'T do what I NEED it to DO as far as I know neither can Android or Windows (not that I would buy a windows phone) as I had a few of the old windows phones and they were TERRIBLE! So I'll stick with BB because they NEVER crash, the batteries last long, and they do more than any other phone. I'll carry the iphone as backup, because it's great for playing music!

Is he right?

God I hope he wrong but I'm afraid he may be right: Comments?

Every five years, there are national or financial crises that cause me to reinvent my company around newly created paradigms of business needs and direction. These shifts are all in the direction of killing off entrepreneurism, lowering standards and adding less value. Our financial model is based on money-in-motion and not creating value. By 2020, I believe that the decay in business morality and fiscal responsibility combined with the socialist agenda of our federal government will lead to the collapse of U.S. industrial and economic might and we will be broke and in chaos. Are we going broke? Yes, and we are becoming morally bankrupt at the same time.
