I find Apple treats users like children, forever admonishing them to "back up this phone. It has not been backed up in the last two weeks" even though you haven't altered any of the data in that period, whereas the BlackBerry assumes you're an adult and will back it up as and when you have to.
... I agree Loki. Even though I'm an iPhone and iPad user, I still don't like the company much. The lack of backwards compatibility of its software, constant meddling with new versions, programmed in obsolescence and thinking iot knows what the user wants (I remember one update giving me a 'free' copy of some U2 songs that was like a dose of herpes to get rid of) are all really irritating.

I got on the iPhone/iPad conveyor almost by accident a few years ago and now it the data management is just too difficult to make it worthwhile stepping off.
