Whichever you go with, youre gonna have a lot of headache and head scratching till you manage to work round all the gizmos and gadgets and software you dont need, and hardware you wish you knew how to use

If youre fgoing for functionality Blackberry, Looks Iphone
I have to agree!!! I have family and friends that use BOTH and they all complain equally. The iPhone freezes alot, you can be talking on the phone and your cheek will cut your call. You can only use it with AT&T and for answering emails it can be tricky handling the touchscreen. As for the Blackberry, I have heard a share of things: There is some sort of problem where if you do not continue to download updates your phone will default to silence and you will miss a lot of your calls, some applications freeze as well. Yet I have heard it is easier to use than an iPhone. In addition Verizon, Sprint and TMobile, ALL carry their own optimized version of a Blackberry.
PS
Forgot to ADD, I will stay with a good old flip phone or a simple phone... I have a Gravity which has the pull out keyboard, and though it is easier to use then the above mentioned, it still has some issues... I say technology helps us on one end, and scr**s us on another.
