I have both. If I have to give one up it would be the iPhone 3GS. My Blackberry 9700 is awesome and it does almost everything I need, the only thing that I don't liek about it is the browser, which is the reason for the iPhone.
When the new webkit browser launches I will give up my iPhone and get the new Blackberry that is coming up, the 9800. It will have a very, very nice browser. Not as good as Safari because IMO nothing beats Safari but close enough.
I have a 9650 from work.

So, yes, I'm the geek who runs around with three phones - work on my hip and my two personals in my bag or on a charging dock.

I have to say, they're both great devices targeted for different demographics.

I've always wanted an iPhone, but can't afford it. Then there's the whole AT&T thing

Remember, new purchasers no longer get unlimited Data. AT&T took that away when the iPhone 4 was released.

IMHO AT&T just plain sucks.

Anyway, there are also issues with the iPhone 4 that have made all the news since Consumer Reports pulled it from it's recommended list, even though it's the highest scoring phone.

I would probably lean towards an Android 2.2 based phone if I had to buy one right now.

I have the previous version of the BB Curve (the last trackball one) I LOVE IT! It upgrades itsself overnight I dont have to mess with anything on it. I pop the battery off once a week no matter what to clear out functions, but only because it was recommended for me to do so by my rep at Verizon. Right now Im looking into what phone Im going to get with my next upgrade. Im def sticking with the BB but its going to come down to what has the better pixel for a camara and the screen size.
I have heard good things about the Iphone but the negative def outweighs. I was also looking into a droid but the few people I know who have one are having issues with theirs already especially the Motorola, the one person I know who has the htc droid hasnt had any problems but just complains that the screen gets scratched to easily and its a pain in her purse cuz its a touch screen.

If anyone is waiting for a Blackberry, there are a couple monster devices coming up that haven't been announced yet.
For AT&T and after an initial exclusive period there is a slider, the 9800. That's the one I'm waiting for.
For CDMA phones, possibly Verizon, there is a clamshell that I wish I could get.

There is a great forum for geeks (like me!) where you can get tons of "inside" information from "ninjas" on Apple, RIM, and Android products. It can get a bit heated, so be warned!

www.crackberry.com

http://forums.crackberry.com/f209/ for the 9800 slider
http://forums.crackberry.com/f211/ for the clamshell

http://forums.crackberry.com/f99/ for the iPhone

http://forums.crackberry.com/f169/ for Android

iPhone - upgrading to 4G as soon as available - plus the 32Gig, ran out of room for songs with the 16Gig. Last I looked I think I have 6.8 DAYS of uninterrupted music - lololol.
For those of you who don't like at&t coverage remember that Verizon will soon have the iPhone as well.

My son bought a Samsung Optima a couple of years ago - before it was released here. I love it. AT&T didn't know what it was at the time, so he got a cheaper unlimited data plan than I have.
I got the Tilt a couple of years ago, just for the keyboard and the fact it run a mobile Office program. I rarely use the keyboard, but I use the Ofiice porgrams daily. And I love the stylus holder. I'm over do for an upgrade, but can't find what I want for what I am willing to pay.

Palm Pre from Sprint here. I pay $69.99 month for unlimited internet, GPS navigation, unlimited texting, unlimited phone calls to any cellphone in the U.S. and 450 any time minutes (which is more than enough because I usually call cell phones). I like WebOS but I DO NOT like the hardware...I have had to replace the handset three times, but Sprint never charged me for the swaps. The other advantage to the Sprint plan I have is that it makes me a "premiere" member so I can upgrade my phone every 12 months instead of every two years at the new customer rate as long as I extend my contract for two years. I've been with Sprint for 9 years and have never had a problem with their customer service. I am switching to either the HTC EVO or a Blackberry in August.

Monte's Mom, Cindy

I wish we could have Sprint their plans in the long run are a lot cheaper for 2 ppl. We pay 120 a mth for a regular phone with unlimited texting in the family plan and my BB which has the 30 data plan and 30 tether feature to hook my phone up to my comp and use the web. My only requirement is that whatever provider we use get service at our house, BFs brothers and my moms. Well noone gets service at my moms but Verizon is the only company with full service thru Trevorton so we stuck with them. Someday they need to come up with a plan that includes the data package for smartphones like the BB or Android etc.
