...And overwhemingly chose iPhone. I wish I could dump my clumsy old Blackberry 9700 for an iPhone or Android device. Hopefully this CIO's approach catches on.

...and got rid of company-issued Blackberries while letting workers choose between an iPhone or Android or Window Phone 7-powered smartphone. The company has issued 2,000 smartphones, 92% of which are iPhones. About 6% of the smartphones chosen were Android-based while 2% were Windows Phone 7 devices.

I have a BB running their latest-and-greatest OS6, and I'd kick it to the curb in a heartbeat for an iPhone 4. I've owned both platforms for several years.

BB is just tired and clumsy IMHO.

At once time, I loved the BB keyboard, but they've lost their way since the 9700. They are no longer easy to type on, with smaller keys and in the case of my current unit, a periodically sticking key.

The build quality has also gotten markedly cheaper.

Don't get me wrong, iOS is not easy to type on either, especially with their miserable autocorrect, but BB is going in the wrong direction.
