I love my blackberry but I use it for business. I am a die hard mac guy and think the iphone is more fun.
You have to ask yourself are you business or fun and then make your decision.

if the costs are similar I would go iPhone. I dont know anyone that has an iPhone and is unhappy with it. I also know some people with Blackberrys
that got them because they were a little cheaper than an iPhone and even though they like their phones they all say that the iPhone is the best.

Hey Honus,have you seen the Record collector app they have now ? It give's pressing info and such. Pretty cool. I think it's just called "Record" or
something like that if you want to search it.

what do you have at home?
from what i understand, the ipod works better w/ the pc than the blackberry works w/ the mac.
also, if you're just talking email and text, go iphone.
if you need excel, go blackberry.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

iphone if cost is not a issue.

I have a PC at home, i dont need excel or anything, mostly emails, messenging etc. with the odd google search or something.
I think that they will cost about the same. so that isnt really a concern.
see now i posted this on another board, and i get the same responses, either get the iphone its great, or dont get the iphone, its shit.....
since i have had the BB, to use this past week, im kinda getting used to it. and like the way it works.
but im not sure about having the full touch screen for everything.

I picked up an iphone a few weeks ago and love it- though I've never used a blackberry so can't really compare. User friendly interface, syncs with
itunes and lots of apps that I've found more useful than I expected... starting to wonder how I ever managed without the mobile gps.

but if i want i can have the BB demo loaner i have until the iphone is released, then i can decide......

The only thing that I don't like about my iPhone is that the ear piece volume has never been loud enough for me.Sometimes I have trouble hearing the
other caller well. I have the 1st generation iPhone ,so I doubt the newer ones will have this problem though.
Honus,check your u2u

I have the Tour and love it. The last phone I had was one of many that Verizon was touting as competition for the iphone which I think was just what
they said because it had a touch screen. The touch screen on that thing was a pain in the ass and is the reason I eventually cashed in my upgrade and
got a Blackberry. This is my first Blackberry and the one and only complaint I've had is that they couldn't switch my contact list over from the old
phone for some reason, even though I had their deal with that phone that allowed me to save my contacts online. I've heard very good things about the
iphone and think it would be a tough decision for me too if I had the option, but we don't have a carrier for it here. In fact, a friend of mine has
been using a friend's address in a part of the state which is covered by AT&T just so he could get an iphone, but they recently busted him on it and
now he may lose his service altogether and have a very expensive paperweight.
This ramble probably didn't help at all, sorry.

when I had my Blackberry,I had to pay for an additional data plan that was $29.99 on top of my regular cell bill. I only pay like $69.99 for
everything with my iPhone.

I carry both a Blackberry Bold and an iPhone. I would say if messaging and email is your main priority then go Blackberry. If you want to have fun
then go with the iPhone. Both have features and applications that overlap so you can pretty much do anything with either but the iPhone will be a
more fun and fluid experience, the Blackberry is mainly a utility, though the fun part is getting better over time.

I never use my iPhone for music (I have a 120 gig iPod) but I still love the phone.
I think unless you want the phone for 100% buisness use the iPhone is the way to go.
The volume issue is better with the new ones, I had the OG one and it was quiet, but now I have the 3GS and its better.
I dont think theres anything that my iPhone doesnt do that I would want it to do. With the video and the picture/video messaging now its pretty much
pefrect.
*edit: a flash on the camera would be nice, but the pictures do come out pretty damn good for a phone.

Also, I dont know which one it is, but Howard Stern has a Blackberry that he loved for the first few weeks and now hes swapping it for a different
phone because he has so much trouble with it.
He used to use a Treo (sp?) but switched to the Blackberry earlier this year.

You may want to check out the HTC Hero. Mybuddy just got one and says he likes it better than the Iphone or Blackberry, this guy loves phones too,
buys a new seems like every few months.
