Anyone looking for a great photographer could do no better than visiting Rob Price at his new studio near Tamworth.

Billed as one of the best photography studios in the UK, Rob has built up his photography business and taken it to the next level. They specialise in product photography and model portfolios as well as family and event photography, some of Rob’s recent shots of the 80’s popstar and now dj Boy George were used in press articles only last week.

Go take a look.

Ok here’s my take on the Blackberrry vs iPhone.

First of all I’ve had them both, I started out with the Blackberry Pearl which I used for a year before getting the Blackberry Storm, I’m now using the iPhone. I have to sya I think there both great phones but having used them both for a while now I can see a winner, well maybe!

Im goin to split this up into different categories, i.e email, battery, screen, games, other applications etc and try and give you my opinion on which fares best. Im gonna kick it off with battery life (all iPhone owners now cringe)

Battery life

Battery life, is it important?, for me it is, others not so much. My Blackberry pearl had an awesome battery life, the Storm not so much and the iPhone doesnt even know what battery life is. Depending on what happened in my week very much depended upon the Storms batterylife but normally I would get 5 days out if, that involved email, occasionally messenger and a few other bits but overall quite good, the pearl would go on for weeks so no problems there. The iPhone as some of you may already know is not the greatest when it comes to battery life, I’m lucky if I get 2 days out of it, I have my email set to fetch every 15 mins and I occasionally dip in and out of applications and maybe play the odd game but thats about it. If you dont sit working at your pc/mac and have the iPhone plugged in then i supposed id be pretty hacked of with it but as it happens I do, just dont forget your charger if you go anywhere.

So in this case the Blackberry Perl/Storm is the clear winner in the battery life test.
