So I've had both blackberry and iPhone for a few days. Here is my report thus far:

The Iphone is more intuitive. The keyboard on the blackberry reduces my typing speed but also reduces errors. The iPhone's larger screen and ability to switch to landscape mode make it far more pleasant to use overall.

I think the iPhone wins for my needs. Ask me once I start using the blackberry heavily for email.

        yeah, I don't use iCal much, even though I do have a mac; we have Exchange at work, and I dabble with MobileMe, and now with Google ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 11:28
