– WiFi enabled – gives you an option to switch to faster Wi-FI networks instead of using EDGE which aren’t that slow but also aren’t very fast (Please Note: newer versions of BlackBerry are now coming with WiFi)
– iPhone’s Full QWERTY – soft keyboard lets you easily send and receive SMS messages in multiple sessions. Keyboard predictability, prevents and corrects mistakes, making it easier and more efficient to use.

So which one do you choose, one that fits your lifestyle best. Some people complain that iPhone’s plans are a bit expensive, I have a BB Curve and my bill hasn’t been lower than 80 bucks, and that’s with employee discount, so don’t expect to pay less than 80 bucks for an iPhone plan, and if you do, please share.
Here’s another option for those that do not mind waiting a little bit longer:
