Blackberry Bold versus iPhone for Real Estate

REtechy chooses post topics from the many emails we get from readers like you. Here is a question we received yesterday from Brandon Harris.

I have AT&T wireless service and I am about to purchase a new phone. Until I came to this site I was set on purchasing the Blackberry bold for it’s push through email and it’s ability to edit Microsoft documents. Now after seeing the plethora of real estate related applications for the iPhone, I am once again confused as to which phone would serve me better. I would like to know if the Blackberry Bold will have some similar real estate related applications or if the I phone would be able to edit documents like word, excel etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. – Thanks Brandon Harris

Advances in technology make using a smartphone a requisite for any real estate agent worth her/his weight. Many options are available, but two phones have risen to the top of the smartphone food-chain.

Is the Blackberry Bold or iPhone better for business?

How the heck can I answer that without subjecting myself to hostility? I can tell you this though – the Blackberry Bold is the best Blackberry ever created. The Bold was designed for business use and boasts features the iPhone does not have including: ability to edit documents & video recording.

The Blackberry Bold’s security also makes a compelling argument. The Blackberry is a preferred phone for Supra eKEY (GE Security); BlackBerry users can now join the thousands of real estate professionals already enjoying the timesaving benefits of eKEY service on their Palm and Windows smartphones.

Before you go buying a Blackberry Bold let’s talk about the iPhone. Apple’s iPhone is the 2nd sexiest thing I have ever held (1st is you honey). The UI is beautiful, the web browser blows Blackberry out of the water, and did I mention it was sexy? Apple’s App store for the iPhone holds many great real estate related applications, with new ones churned out all the time.

Let’s remember the iPhone is designed for the consumer; you can hail cabs, order groceries, make fart sounds all from your iPhone. The developer community supporting iPhone applications is large and active. If you fall in love with an application, or two, the iPhone may prove to be the best phone for your needs.

Homes-For-Sale application on Blackberry

January 9, 2008 (Philadelphia, PA) – For the users of Blackberry devices, an exciting and interactive carrier-approved application has been added to the download list. Smarter Agent, the company that invented and patented the mobile location-aware real estate search, announced today that their Homes for Sale mobile application is now live on select Blackberry devices on all major carriers. Unlike other cell phone models, Homes for Sale is a free download for Blackberry.

Not only is Homes for Sale the first consumer-based real estate application that is available for download for the Blackberry, but it is also the only real estate application on Blackberry that is personally branded to brokers and agents for distribution to their clients.

The application can be downloaded to a consumer’s cell phone for FREE by visiting www.smarteragent.com/blackberry.

The Homes for Sale application allows consumers to search for properties directly from their Blackberry using GPS technology (where available) or by entering in a city, state, address or zip code. Smarter Agent instantly returns all publically allowable information, including the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the price, the square footage, the estimated mortgage, taxes, property details – even pictures. A comprehensive map also lets the user see where they are in relation to the homes.

Homes for Sale has been live on over 100 different cell phone models on Sprint and AT&T since early September 2008. Smarter Agent is now able to reach more consumers by adding the Blackberry Curve, World, Pearl and Pearl Flip editions to the roster of live cell phone models.

The application can be downloaded to a consumer’s cell phone for FREE by visiting www.smarteragent.com/blackberry. Smarter Agent has also partnered with some of the top real estate brokerages, as well as individual brokers and agents around the country, who are able to provide links to branded versions of the Homes for Sale application for consumer download.
