eddierools, 'nothing but style and flash'?
Firstly - Apple phones pretty much set the benchmark for the whole smartphone market. Their phone is still the simplest, sleekest, most usable on the market, with the most apps. In key metrics such as battery life and screen quality, for example, they are so far ahead of the competition.
Secondly - I now own an Apple IPhone and I've not played a single game on it. I use it to operate my various business concerns and it is invaluable in that regard. Blackberrys and IPhones can both be used for business and both can be used for games. Don't be so ridiculously judgemental.
The only reason the Blackberry was popular is that it was the only real 'business' oriented phone, but over time businesses have grasped the obvious fact that the IPhone can be used just as well for business, and because it's easier to use it increases productivity.
And many people would argue that the elitist 'Blackberrys are running the world', meaning helping the big corporations to become richer at the expense of the smaller businesses, is not exactly doing 'good' for society.
In fact, I would go a step further and argue that a phone which is focused on personal relations, family, communication and simplicity does a lot more good for society than being driven by the bottom line.
