Apple's second generation iPhone launched by Steve Jobs on Monday is targeting the corporate market, traditionally the preserve of loyal BlackBerry users.
The new iPhone allows users to access company email on the move and its versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint are also compatible.
A quick poll amongst city workers undertaken by City A.M. highlighted differences of opinion over the new iPhone. Some preferred the slicker and high feature set of the iPhone, whilst others cited the familiarity and simplicity of the BlackBerry.
However, according to research firm IDC, Research in Motion (RIM) had more than double the market share of Apple's iPhone, its nearest competitor.
IDC's research shows RIM had 44.5 percent of the market during the first three months of 2008, up from 35.1 percent in the last quarter of 2008.
Apple Inc's iPhone had 19.2 percent of the market in the first quarter, down from 26.7 percent in the fourth quarter.
Apple must be hoping their new iPhone will help reverse this trend.
