My last Blackberry was couple of years ago, so info somewhat dated. But from playing with my friends new one also, the iPhone's interconnectivity of its applications and features is much better implemented. From emailing a photo effortlessly that you take with it's camera to snapping someone's pict and including it in a contact list, or searching for a restaurant near you, checking its menu by clicking its web link, dialing its number to make reservations and getting driving directions, and adding to your contact list. It just is so well integrated, and its apps just play so seamlessly with each other. A Blackberry just doesn't work that way, even though it has many of the same capabilities. I think the only (to me) significant difference is that some hardcore "texters" just can't deal without the tactile feel of real keys for texting. I'm just as fast now on my iPhone, but it is different, and for many, an unacceptable difference. So if someone were looking for a texting phone only, and not worried about using a "real" web browser, and having all those other iPhone features, then the Blackberry may be a better choice. If you want all the features that come with a "sudo" laptop, and need it for more than just texting friends all day, than I think the iPhone wins hands down. And with the "Palm"-like availability of 3rd party apps just over the horizon - it will be hard to beat the feature set and expandability of the iPhone in the coming months.
