Both the iPhone and the BlackBerry Curve are excellent SmartPhones.  Here are the advantages of both.
Apple iPhone:
  • A phone and a widescreen iPod with touch controls for basic navigation, plus music, audiobooks, videos, TV shows, and movies on a 3.5-inch widescreen display (BlackBerry Curve only has a 2.5 inch screen).
  • Allows you to select and listen to voicemail messages in whatever order you want; called Visual Voicemail.
  • Has the most advanced web browser ever on a portable device.
BlackBerry Curve:
  • Open to independent developers, whereas the iPhone is not.
  • Full QWERTY keyboard offers a better typing experience with its tactile feedback making typing emails, SMS, and dialing numbers easier.
  • Less expensive, quite a bit cheaper than the $499 and $599 iPhone.
  • You can upload and download large files by using the BlackBerry Curve as a wireless modem for your laptop, there is currently no information available to suggest this feature will be available in the iPhone.
It's somewhat of a toss up as to which is better.  My preference is the iPhone, but using the BlackBerry as a wireless modem does sound rather intriguing.
