i work for at&t so i use a blackberry bold 9000 for work (FREE service FTW) and a 32gb iPhone 3GS for personal use.
The blackberry and iphone are very similar as far as email, although i prefer the iPhone interface. Notifications are definitely a lot better on the blackberry's than iPhones. iPhone is basically good for everything else.
what about a tmobile G1? its almost the same size as a i-shat. has a quarty keyboard, everything you do on it is backed up and available on gmail and picasa. takes video... FREE applications, free ringtones, ect.
The T-mo G1 is a bit of a 'clunky' phone compared side-by-side to an iPhone, a co-worker of mine has a G1. The Android OS is pretty slick but the G1 packaging sure leaves a lot to be desired. Several phone manufacturers have Android phones now with more to be released in the near future (some being slide-out qwerty keyboards while others will be capacitive touch-screen). I say if you like Google's Android OS and want that for your next mobile device, be patient since there are neat things coming to market soon.
Google News - Tech/Science page is a great source for info.

so in my honest opinion, iPhone > all.
You were doing great until you typed that last sentence.
If you do business and need email, buy a Blackberry.
If you browse the internet a lot, and need help finding a place to eat, or have an insatiable urge to jerk off your phone (shake shake!), then buy the iphone.
The iphone was designed around, not for, business needs. So it looks great, browses great, and is shiney. The Blackberry does all that shit too, but email comes within seconds instead of minutes. Reliability is greater, and its available on a plethora of service providers.

I get my email faster on my iphone than I do on my computer sometimes. I've had my 3g for maybe 4 or 5 months now and it's the best phone I've ever had.

For voicing my preference? Please.... Is this where you get most of your post count?

Oh ya Nashville can sux it
No, you stated some shit in fact form, that wasnt true what so ever.
Blackberry was revolutionizing the game when Apple was jerking off in their own feces trying to figure out how to make a product people wanted to actually buy again.
I love the iphone, it has its advantages, and so do Blackberrys, but if you dont know what the fuck you're talking about, dont say you do.

Sometimes I dont even have data coverage and my corporate email and or gmail hit my Blackberry before our exchange server can even route it downstairs to my work computer. Just sayin.
I think this is a real question as to where you live and how well the two service providers cover your area. Ok so you're in the NE where they are both strong, but Verizon covers a greater area for your business traveling needs. Blackberries built like crap. My charging port snapped after only a few months. iPhones are actually very strong and well built. I would personally go with an iPhone for the entertainment value of it. They are very user friendly too.
I've owned 7 different Blackberry's (multiples of some), 1 iphone, 1 touch, support a BES server of over 70 clients on a daily basis, with corporate iPhone support.
Im not pulling shit out of my ass here, but you guys that are destroying Blackberrys must either be dropping them from 10 story buildings onto concrete, or having the worst luck ever.
Go read some cell phone blogs OP. You're gonna get a bunch of dick swinging from r3v and a bunch of uneducated answers.
@OP It sounds like you should go with an iPhone though with your needs.
