Target markets for the iPhone and BlackBerry are starting to overlap as well. The iPhone is a media consumer's dream, playing movies and music with ease. But it's not as finely tuned for the corporate user; large companies have resisted letting employees use iPhones on corporate networks, and information-technology.

In addition, BlackBerrys are taking on more iPhone-like trappings all the time. The BlackBerry has long been the staple of corporate users who focused mostly on e-mail and calendar features, but Research In Motion has recently been aiming for high-end consumers who might buy the device for play as much as for work.

RIMs BlackBerry 50%

Motorola 36%

In addition to, George Hotz, 17 unlocked the phone and was using it on T-Mobile's network in the United States. Apple launched the eagerly awaited phone exclusively on AT&T's network in June07, and immediately faced criticism for how resistant it was to any modification.

As iPhone works on Global System for Mobile telecommunications (GSM) networks, which more than 80 per cent of the world's wireless carriers use. With a typical GSM phone, the user can open it and swap the subscriber identity module (SIM) card provided by the carrier for one from another operator. The iPhone design, however, prevents easy access to the SIM card, and the device is wired to prevent non-AT&T SIM cards from working.

Hotz posted step-by-step instructions on his blog on how to open the phone and disconnect the wiring so that any SIM card will work, which means it can be used on any GSM network in the world.
