Blackberry or iPhone

A few weeks ago I was notified that I was now eligible for a free upgrade by my cell phone provider. It happened to be memorial day weekend and there we significant deals to be found. For the past year and a half I have been using the Blackjack by Samsung, which has been a great phone. But the battery life had diminished significantly and it was difficult to keep it charged. I have become addicted to the full QWERTY keypad and the large screen for all of the texting that I do.

So I figure that I would simply get the new Blackjack 2, but upon further research, I learned that the Blackberry Curve was the same price as the Blackjack and had many more features. As a former crackberry addict, I was hesitant to return to my old ways, but after much contemplation (and the cost prohibitive iPhone at $499) I decided to go for it with the Blackberry Curve. I couldn't be a more satisfied customer. The past 2 weeks have been wonderful. I have used the TeleNav (GPS) to find restaurants in Vancouver, the blackberry messenger has been a dream to use whenever I want to bother 2 of my best friends and BB users. I am very happy with this phone and with all of the blackberry services. And then Apple made a little announcement...

THE NEW iPHONE is only $199!!!! Crap! This ruins everything! I have wanted and iPhone since they first came out and the only thing that has kept it from me has been the price. Now I can easily save for the iPhone. The question is... should I? I have been weighing the pros and cons between the BB Curve and the Iphone, and I am at an impass.

So, my blog reading community, I ask for help. What do you think I should do? I only have 2 weeks left to return it, so your input is desired quickly!

I can't wait to hear what you have to say....
