I posted this as my Facebook status too, but whatever. Hopefully I'll get some responses here too.
To complete my transition to "adulthood" (I use that term loosely), I need an appropriate communication device to flash around at the bar to show everyone how important I am. Thus, my dilemma: do I go with the tried-and-true business device that is the Blackberry, or do I hop on the iPhone train?
I'm a big fan of Apple products (over the years, I've had 3+ iPods, 2 Macbooks, and an iMac) and generally think that Steve Jobs and Co. can do no wrong. I also think that the iPod would be a more "fun" phone, what with all of the apps that Apple has. On the other hand, the Blackberry platform seems to be more established, especially as an email device, which is the main reason why I'm making the upgrade. That said, I have no proof to back up any of these assumptions, so please feel free to prove me wrong.
Comment here with your best argument as to which way I should go.

I would definitely go with the iPhone. The email is really easy to use, especially organizing your folders. And if you use your mac products elsewhere, they all sync really well with one another and open up new ways to interact with one another. The blackberries are decent, better than a lot of other smart phones, but they still feel clunky and in desperate need of some revision to get a smooth user friendly interface. The storm was supposed to do that, but just failed. If you are looking for something other than the iPhone, I would suggest the T-Mobile G1, which is the first phone with Google's android. It's not perfect, but it has a lot of potential and could eventually explode. Still, knowing how important music is to you, I'd say get the iPhone, and if you want, you can splurge for the hi-def ear buds that double as hands free mic. The iPhone also has just an amazing number of music apps, such as mobile pandora, ones that can tag unknown songs among others. Hope that's helpful.
