Physical Keyboard is way easier to use! I have a mac and loved it so I bought the iPhone. Had it for a week and traded for another BlackBerry. The BB is the business workhorse the iPhone is simply a toy for entertainment. On the BB contacts are easier to manage and email and messages are easier to fire off. The lack of physical keyboard and bulkiness of the phone doesn't work in landscaping imho. Hope that helps!

I have to agree, I don't like the touch phones. My wife has an EVO and I hate the "keyboard" even the swipe app is annoying. I just got a BlackBerry Style and its better than the Curve I had but its new and I still need to learn a few things on it. We don't get into texting or emailing any customer's so to me its just a phone. I will say the battery life isn't that great. It usually needs charged every night and I only have the weather channel app running.

I really like my blackberry.
A couple weeks back I was using a stick edger and was shaking when I finished. The phone rang...I talked, but when I hung up my shaky hands dropped the phone.

It cost $150. plus 12% tax here to fix it.
Had to put the sim card into an old motorola lazer so I could get phone calls while I waited for the repair
