I was wondering what is more useful for Bschool, Blackberry or iPhone? I read somewhere that Blackberry is better because when you get a calendar invite it is much easier to accept and get it into your BB calendar than it would receiving on iPhone and getting it on iCal. Any experiences here with either one or both? I of course want to reduce my cost. I currently have both a BB (work) and iPhone (personal) and would prefer to ditch the BB for bschool or avoid having to buy one.
You can pretty much use any phone that you want. People don't go out and buy X phone for bschool because it has advantages. Some people will have BB, iPhone, Android, etc because either it's their thing or it's the NEW thing that they have to try out.
In terms of calendar features, I use Google Calendar for everything and it synchronizes everywhere, including iPhone and Android phone (also contacts, etc). A lot of emails will e done via school email and I have them forwarded to my gmail account so I don't have to check multiple places. Social invitations usually come via Facebook. I don't think you have to worry about buying a specific phone for bschool. Whatever you take to bschool, it will work for you.
