Now replying to Slava
I guess if you have 2000 contacts and for certain business types, the BB is better. Just not me or anyone I have ever talked to in real life (except you of course, haha) I don't agree about the calendar being better or especailly email. If I had really lengthy emails, then I would rather not use either device. My emails are usually a series of forwards and back and forth replies, mostly with attachments. The iphone makes the emails look like what I see on a computer, because it is a computer, not a phone with a big screen and mini keys.
The thing about the iphone with my job (oilpatch), is I can see how it could be used more powerfully, there is significant growth room there. AFENavigator could have an app and you could approve/review pesky AFE's that could be done in a meeting. Invoicing could have an app, that mindnumbing task would be awesome to be able to do on the bus or taking a dump. All sorts of programs could have apps that would be awesome and simple.
I realize pretty much no one will know what AFEnavigator is.
Hey kermit, you are an app guy, lets get together and develop some calgary oilpatch apps.

AFE navigator app would rock, and there are definitely things about my blackberry that annoy me. The zoom is crap, the browser is mediocre, etc.
BB are definitely more sturdy. I'm on my second blackberry, but the first one got run over by a jeep. My blackberry screen looked better after it got ran over by a jeep than my wife's Iphone did after taking a 2 foot fall off the coffee table and having the screen spiderweb.
