For some upcoming articles I am writing for the Poynter Institute, I wanted to get a sense of which is a more popular reporting tool among journalists: the iPhone or the BlackBerry.

I’m also interested in learning some of the features and applications that are most helpful for reporters using these devices and hearing your thoughts on which is the better reporting device. I realize there are many other phones reporters use, but for now, I’m focusing on the iPhone and the BlackBerry, because those are likely the most popular.

I have a personal iPhone 3G, and a BlackBerry Curve that was issued to me by my employer, so I am familiar with both devices. Both help me do my job better.

Please fill out the form below.
