The Blackberry Style is one of the newest smart phones to hit the market. It is part of the wildly successful line of Blackberry smart phones marketed by media and communication giant RIM, and was introduced to the smart phone market on October 31st for the exceedingly affordable price of $99 after purchasing it and sending back a mail in contract. The BlackBerry Style has been designed an entry level smart phone to target affordable purchasers with little to zero smart phone experience; it has already started to draw attention from those already compariing it to the iPhone 4. This article will discuss how the Blackberry Style stacks up to the iPhone 4, as well as which accessories are currently and projected to be available for the Blackberry Style.

The significant difference between the Style and the iPhone 4 is their respective operating system that sets the phones apart. The iPhone 4 is an Apple product, which means that like all Apple products, it is powered by some version of Apple's unified operating system. In the iPhone's case, it is powered by iOS4, which is a capable and hardy little operating system that allows users to take full advantage of the touch screen functions of the iPhone 4.

The Blackberry Style, in contrast, is powered by the Blackberry OS6, which sets it apart from the majority of non iPhone 4 smart phones on the market, which tend to be powered by Google's Android 2.1. Between the Blackberry OS6 and the iOS4 on the iPhone 4, it is difficult to pit one OS over the other so it boils down to whichever you're more comfortable with.

When it comes down to the pricing, the BlackBerry Style is the obvious winner as it is one of the most affordable phones in the United States. The iPhone 4 commands a premium several hundred dollars in excess of that of the Blackberry Style, yet it remains arguably the most popular smart phone in the country. However, if you do not need the numerous features that come with the iPhone 4, you will likely be satisfied with the more modest offerings of the Blackberry Style, and you will also be pleased to pay less in the process.

Regardless of which smart phone you eventually choose, you will be happy to know that both smart phones come with a healthy set of gadgets, gizmos, and accessories to help you make the most of them, whether you are at work or at play. In the Blackberry's case, some of the more interesting Blackberry Style accessories include the ability to purchase and install an extra Blackberry Style battery to give you more juice when you are on the go, as well as the ability to purchase a Blackberry Style case to keep your smart phone from a premature end due to clumsiness.
