Okay then:

 - The iPhone would be a refirb, so only $99.  The Blackberry would be free or $99.  There's no way in Hell I'm dropping full price.
 - I text some.  Not a lot (I think in the five years I've had a texting-enabled phone, I've sent a total of 230 messages)
Then I would definetly go with the iPhone  :yes:
Same. :yes:

Texting will be tons better when the iPhone OS 3.0 is released, you'll be able to tilt the phone on it's side and use the landscape keyboard. But now that you mention that you don't text very much you have even more reason to go for the iPhone.

I maintain two phone, US and Canada.

I originally had the BlackBerry Storm with Verizon, and a BlackBerry Curve with TELUS. Texting on the Storm was more painful than putting Bamboo sticks under your fingernails, so much so that I returned the Storm and got an 8830 World Edition on VZW... I then sold my TELUS Curve and got a Storm, only because I need a cool phone, and a work phone...  :bleh: I use the Verizon (8830 WE, work phone) for emails more so then the Storm, so I sorta had the phones backwards.

Long story short, depends on what your looking for, but typing on the Storm is difficult. They told me to give it 2 weeks to settle it... I gave it a week and a half and discovered that it taking 30 minutes to write an email that used to take 2 minutes to write was riDONKoulous! AT&T (GSM) have a pretty cool new Curve out.
