Iphone everyday!, blackberries are for buisnessmen.

If you liked the 2g one ( i still have mine  ) then get the 3G one, Thers bearly any difference though.

I'd take the iPhone even though it's massively overrated and all the contracts are shite.

I have both a mk1 Iphone and a Blackberry.
My iphone is left in the draw as a spare. I much prefer the blackberry as a phone, but then again i dislike alot of touch screen phones.

the 3g you cant just sign the disclaimer like the old one and not do a contract. You actually have to get a contract to get the phone this time from what ive been told.

no mate you can just buy one on pay go then jailbreak it then add the yell0wsn0w software to unlock it, with full use of all the features 
i have had mine since they came out last july and in my eyes its the best phone you can get
blackberrys are ok but only for email! the new curve isnt 3g either so wouldnt expect the fastest interweb plus a full qwerty keyboard would just get on my tits

buying one on PAYG isnt cheap though. The old Iphone everyone got because you signed a disclaimer to say you understand if you dont get an 02 contract it wont work etc etc....
O2 have changed the way this works so you cant get a cheap/free Iphone. Unless again they have changed the way they are dealing with it upon what I was tole last year
Qwerty keyboard is much much better for dauly use over a normal one.

The iphone will sell for more, so if you have to choose, get it, sell it and buy a blackberry!
Top end blackberrys you have the choice of 8900 (javelin) 9000 (bold) or 9500 (storm) all of which are class phones. Didnt think Id ever use one, but if you do, you wont go back!
Though the bolds are actually the older of the 3 they are the most advanced with all the features you could possibly need. The storm is the blackberry iphone equivalent with a touch screen. BUT unlike the nokia 5800s and other iphone clones they didnt try and make it the same and it has really worked! Its a really solid and classy phone. A toughened glass touch screen which requires pressing unlike the iphone which is more of a light tap. Brushed metal back and really good video and sound make it a good contender if youre looking for an iphone like phone.

Iphones are great, good choice, but as you showed, you dont half pay for it!
£44 * 18 months = £792
I dont get net and I only got an N95 on my contract but mine was £14 * 12 = £168, so I get a new phone in 10 months (youre allowed 2 months before your contract expires) and save £624
