I have pulled some reviews on both phones and wil share them with you so that you can make your decision. 
For starters, a BlackBerry set up with Microsoft Exchange Server sportsintelligent push email while the iPhone does not. When an email is sentto an account on a BlackBerry, the message is downloaded immediatelyand an LED on the phone notifies the user that he or she has a newmessage. The iPhone, on the other hand, recognizes new messages at mostevery 15 minutes and must be checked actively to see if anything hasarrived. This deficiency makes handling email on the iPhone slower andless efficient; it also translates into wasted battery power as usersneed to perform the extra step of opening the iPhone’s email programevery time they want to check for new mail. Perhaps even more significantly, the iPhone fails to synchronize as wellas the BlackBerry. When a BlackBerry user changes a calendar event orsome contact information on his or her desktop computer in Exchange,the changes automatically appear on the BlackBerry. This makes keepingtrack of basic business information a snap because one never has toworry about acting on outdated data or manually updating one’shandheld. In contrast, the iPhone does not synchronize calendar andcontact information wirelessly, which makes it less dependable forinformation ultimately stored. Here is the blackberry specifications:

I am going to attach some websites that you can buy both phones from and you can decide what is better for you.
