Blackberry or Iphone

iPhone all the way!
You can get the internet at all times as long as you have cell signal, bonus if you have 3G in your area.
With the app store you essentially have a pocket sized computer that will get better with the 3.0 OS upgrade!
Texting is a little awkward for the first two texts then you'll have it down and you'll not even care about buttons!

Do you have Exchange/Outlook at work? If so I wouldn't use either BlackBerry or iPhone, but rather Windows Mobile.

If you tell us what carrier you're going through I can make some suggestions. I have the Samsung Omnia on Verizon. It has Active Synch (e-mail is pushed to my phone, it doesn't have to retrieve it), a 5MP camera, 8GB on board storage with 16GB microSDHC I added, MS Word/Excel/Outlook, IE 6, Opera Web browser, a business card reader that uses OCR to make a new contact from each business card, FM Tuner, TV Out with capability to play DivX movies, and video/photo editors. Not to mention all the free apps out there.

Best part is it cost me $100 after mail in rebate ($70).

I have entourage on the mac side of my laptop, but I have winxp on here too, so i can get any software really. The biggest things for me, are texting/emailing, and contact/address book ease of organization. The carrier i will likely use is rogers in canada: http://rogers.com
