Could it be that even the most ardent of Blackberry owners are preparing to turn their backs on their QWERTY machines once the iPhone 4G or iPhone HD is released?
This seems to be the case according to a survey conducted by Crowd Science. It revealed that a staggering 2 out of 5 Blackberry users said that they would to move over to the Appley handset once their contract comes up for renewal.
It appears that the major hang-up that the RIM phone lovers have is the lack of security features on the iPhone – you know, the backdoors that allow people to jailbreak the iPhone OS.
Are you a Blackberry user? Are you tempted to defect over and join us on the Apple side of the street?

Righty – you love the retro vibe, perhaps wearing some cool Space Invader tights, but you’re rocking some modern headphones – you’ve ruined the look!
You could get yourself some mighty fine Koss Porta Pros, which I’ve owned and loved but they might be a little ‘off-the-shelf’ for someone as cool as you.
May I present the ‘Tracks’ headphones from the fantastically named Danish company – Aiaiai!
These have a distinct whiff of the Walkman ‘phones and are admittedly styled on the personal audio classics which must’ve helped Sony beat Phillips in the compact cassette player wars back in the 80’s.
You get the comfy foam ear-pads that slide on brushed steel head braces.
Whilst their looks are stuck in my favourite style period the ‘Tracks’ are 21st Century with the latest in driver technology and you should be getting decent audio from the 40mm speakers.
These will also play nice with Blackberry’s and iPhones so there you go.
£44.50 will get you stepping out from the crowd!
