Blackberry 9800 Torch Review vs iPhone

Blackberry Torch vs iPhone

Being a technical geek who loves gadgets and the director web company I personally need a phone that is an all in one smart phone. Having been a Nokia fan for many years (14 years) having the latest Nokia phone available the day they become available no matter what the cost and then 6 months later as a new phone comes out swopping again all ways keeping ahead of technology I would say that swopping to an iPhone was a big leap for me.

My first iPhone was a an iPhone 3 and then after 3 month I got the iPhone 3GS. The functionality and ability to to show off in the pub meant the iPhone was great. I had my music on it for listening to as a I wanted, my 14 emails accounts all worked pretty good and I was receiving emails and sending them on the move much better than any Nokia had ever been able.

The Facebook and Twitter apps are great for keeping in touch and then using the iPhone as a business phone looking at my diary and planning and the maps, etc meant the iPhone was a huge improvement over any Nokia I had ever had.

But then with everything good comes something bad. The phone call quality was very poor and whilst on the move the iPhone drops call like no other phone I had ever owned. Also a 30 minute call and a few emails and a 30 minute call and then the battery was less than 50% and needed charging to last the day. But as with a busy life I did not have time to remember to charge the phone and often the phone battery would die on me. I found myself having the iPhone always plugged into a computer or wall socket charging when I was at my office desk.

But then on a weekend shopping with the children and wife, all my APPS running away and emails coming in, reduced calling traffic but the phone again would die and I have often had to wait at the car for my wife to return after I have gone to a shop without her and then she has tried to ring me and cant due to the phone being off as the battery has died. This is the most annoying thing about an iPhone.

So looking at this I have a phone that is not capable of doing what a Nokia can do well, be on standby and make calls. Then when you start hating the iPhone you start realising that the massive Apple sales pitch is everywhere and the gimmicks sell the iPhone so well and detract you away from the fact it is useless as a phone.

I have a brand new BMW 3 series coupe and this has the blue-tooth options. This is meant to operate as a hands free and also allow you to listen to your music via blue-tooth. The car connects and you can play a track with no names and then the blue-tooth drops and then it starts again intermittently. After a week of hating the iPhone for all the simple things that other phones do I decided to look at putting it in the bin and buying a new phone.

My choice was the Blackberry 9800 Torch.

iphone 4Blackberry 9800 Torch Review

First impression of the Blackberry Torch was what have I done. The interface is very odd and not as user friendly as the iPhone and navigating my way round seemed confusing.

The feel of the Blackberry 9800 Torch thou is different to that of an iPhone and it does feel like a quality electronic device. The first thing I did was put them side by side a replicate the APPS and so on.

I extracted out of iTunes the contacts list and then imported them using the Blackberry Desktop Software and this was very easy. Blackberry offer an APP store similar to Apples, maybe not as good in someways but for the APPs I used there are all there.

I setup the user accounts for the APPS like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and then I spotted the Social Feeds App, and this bring everything together which I thought was very good.

The eBay APP is great a much better interface than the iPhone and as I started using the Blackberry APPS I soon started to find that the APPS work better than on the iPhone. They are quicker and the apps work perfectly like on a PC. The iPhone cut  down APPS never really did anything for me, they allow you to use the APPS but not in the same manner.

Emails, well what can I say, instead of typing all the details in for everything, email address, mail server, users, password, etc I was able to use the computer and push the settings to the Blackberry Torch. This was great, I had everything configured in 30 mins. It took hours to get the emails configured on the iPhone.

Now I can start using the Blackberry 9800 Torch in real life. The main display means you know everything that is going on, emails, messages and the Blackberry Messenger is great showing you even the status of your messages (have they been read or not). The battery doesn’t seem to be going down and as you will know the first time you get a new phone you hammer it as you can not put it down. You are learning and playing and then trying out new things. The battery lasted the complete day. It only needed to recharge when I did, and I have to say I was shocked. Looking at the reviews the battery is meant to be better on an iPhone according to the facts.

So I looked into this and tried to understand why and then I realised. The Blackberry get things pushed to as the iPhone checks for updates. So the iPhone will keep checking for new emails and messages and APPS also the same. This has a huge negative effect on the life of the battery. So the Blackberry is not the change but the Blackberry network and infrastructure.

In the car and it connected first go and a quick check and every option the car can do works. I can play music and see the track names. I can read contact properly and view the phone book and messages. A phone call on the hands free and you can see the difference in call quality. Perfect and whilst driving around Birmingham I have not dropped on call whilst on my Business travels. Even when I drove the tunnels where even my Nokia’s would drop calls.

So I am starting to fall in love with the Blackberry 9800 Torch. A full day of phone calls and emails and checking social media connections and ebay and then go to bed and charge the phone with 30 to 40% battery life left. This seems to good to be true.

Overall the Blackberry does everything my iPhone did, but better. And it even makes calls 🙂

Remember review sites give you the opinion that they want and often they are owned by company and used as a marketing tool.

Google Analytics Code Position Top or Bottom of Page coding

We get asked about the Google analytics code on many occasions. Why is it at the bottom of the page on some sites and at the top of the page on others?

Well the answer from Google:-

The latest version of the Analytics tracking code offers an improved way to track website visitors with Google Analytics. It takes advantage of browser support for asynchronous JavaScript to enhance the speed in which the tracking code is loaded. With this version of the tracking code, you can also place the Analytics snippet higher in the page without delaying subsequent content from rendering.

Although asynchronous tracking uses a different Analytics snippet and a different syntax for tracking calls than the traditional snippet, it supports the exact same tracking customizations as the traditional snippet. In fact, the asynchronous tracking syntax is also more flexible than the traditional snippet. For more details, see the Usage Guide.

The Snippet

The Analytics snippet is a small piece of JavaScript code that you paste into your pages. It activates Google Analytics tracking by inserting ga.js into the page. To use this on your pages, copy the code snippet below, replacing UA-XXXXX-X with your web property ID. If you need to do more than basic page tracking, see the tracking reference for a list of methods available in the API and see the Usage Guide for details on using the asynchronous syntax. For step-by-step instructions on setting up tracking, see the Help Center article on setting up tracking.

<script type="text/javascript"> 

  var _gaq = _gaq || []; 
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']); 
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); 

  (function() { 
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; 
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; 
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); 
  })(); 

</script>

The snippet above represents the minimum configuration needed to track a page asynchronously. It uses _setAccount to set the page’s web property ID and then calls _trackPageview to send the tracking data back to the Google Analytics servers.

Important: If you are updating your pages from the traditional snippet to the latest, asynchronous version, you should remove the existing tracking snippet first. We do not recommend using both snippets together on the same page.

Migration Instructions

This section covers how to migrate to the asynchronous snippet on pages that currently use traditional tracking with ga.js. If you are using the urchin.js snippet, please see the Asynchronous Migration Examples for help migrating your customizations from urchin.js to asynchronous tracking.

To convert your pages to use the asynchronous snippet, follow these steps:

  1. Remove your existing tracking code snippet and any customizations you have made.To reduce errors, we recommend that you remove the existing tracking code snippet from the include file or mechanism that injects it into your web pages. You can paste your existing tracking code snippet in a text file to keep track of any customized methods you use.
  2. Insert the asynchronous snippet at the bottom of the <head> section of your pages, after any other scripts your page or template might use.One of the main advantages of the asynchronous snippet is that you can position it at the top of the HTML document. This increases the likelihood that the tracking beacon will be sent before the user leaves the page. We’ve determined that on most pages, the optimal location for the asynchronous snippet is at the bottom of the <head> section, just before the closing </head> tag.
  3. Modify the _setAccount method with your web property ID.
    For more information on web property IDs, see the “Web Property” section in the Accounts and Profiles document.
  4. Add your customizations back in using the asynchronous syntax. The Usage Guide and Migration Examples pages provide many examples of these conversions.

Note: To ensure the most streamlined operation of the asynchronous snippet with respect to other scripts, we recommend you place other scripts in your site in one of these ways:

  • before the tracking code snippet in the <head> section of your HTML
  • after both the tracking code snippet and all page content (e.g. at the bottom of the HTML body)

If that isn’t an option, you can still put the asynchronous snippet at the bottom of the page. You can also split your snippet to retain some of the benefits of asynchronous tracking.
