I think I'll hold onto mine a little while longer. The 25 year contract isn't up yet.

Look at it this way.

Most younger kids have iPODs and consequently want iPhones. This board is comprised of a lot of kids.

If you polled the U.S. at large there would be a different story.

iPhones are about 3-5% of the entire U.S. market.

Blackberries do well for business, sales agents, etc.

So take board polls with a grain of salt and consider the demographics.

It's not necessarily kids, it's just what you use the phone for. Like you said, Blackberries do well for business, so if you're constantly e-mailing or NEED those business related capabilities, then a Blackberry is the way to go. (Or if you're one of those people with multiple phones/devices attached to your belt.)

Otherwise the iPhone is the way to go IMO. I have an 8gig model, and I'm waiting for a 32gig to upgrade to 3G. It's just my preference, and I don't NEED it for business, so with music, video, games, apps, GOOD internet capabilities, and a TON of memory, I'm quite satisfied.

Also don't forget that many of those business blackberries are given to employees by their companies for business use. It's not like there's much of a choice there. That said, the iPhone has many of the same business features of the blackberries (exchange support, remote wipe, etc).
