iPhone or Blackberry

I have been a die-hard Blackberry user for 3 years. Most of you that know me, know that I don't go too many places without my Blackberry. Recently I bought an iPod Touch which has pretty much the same functionality as the iPhone, except no phone. I am loving all the different apps you can download, and of course the music/videos too. 

Recently I began using some apps that only work if I have a Wi-Fi connection. There have been several occasions now where I wished I had access to those apps even though I was not in Wi-Fi range. So naturally I am thinking about switching to the new iPhone 3GS that Apple just came out with.

The dilemma is that the Blackberry is much better for emailing. I can type much faster on the Blackberry than the iPod touch screen. But the user interface and experience with the iPod/iPhone is so much more compelling. When factor in all the ways you can extend the use of the iPhone with the apps available, and that it will actually consolidate two devices, it makes it a strong alternative to the tried and true Blackberry.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has used the Blackberry and made the switch.
