The Great Smartphone Debate

I've been debating getting a 'smartphone' for a few months. I have a work blackberry , but its worthless because they block me from doing anything I would want to do (except play brickbreaker), like check my own email.

Since the Blackberry Curve and iPhone have been out, I've been thinking harder and harder about spending the $90 a month on a data plan for myself. Since I started writing a blog, I decided it would be cool/nerdy to be able to post mobilely (is that a word yet?).

To date, I'm having trouble deciding which, if any, to get right now.

Here's a quick summary of my thoughts:
iPhone = fucking seriously cool, real internet everywhere but no keyboard and expensive as hell
Curve = pretty cool, real keyboard, brickbreaker, lamer internet and only $50
Both probably are easy enough to setup email and sync contacts etc.

The Blackberry has brickbreaker going for it, which is a pretty sweet game. Though I've so demolished it on my work blackberry,that it isn't even conceivable that I would lose before the phone breaks. My current score is over 250,000 and I have 60+ lives left. Am I a nerd? You bet. Are you impressed? No doubt about it.
Does anyone know if there is a way to save my game to a new Blackberry? That would substantially increase my likelihood of getting a curve.

Anyways, I'm not sold on either one, mostly because neither one rocks the big daddy 3G wireless network and EDGE is more like dial-up (I know the iPhone has wifi, but not all the time). I think the iPhone has the slight edge because they are rolling out the developers kit to allow third party apps on the phone rather than just the web, finally. (aside: am I the only one who thinks Apple is about 100million times worse than Microsoft ever was in terms of shady business practices?) So, I figured that I could get used to typing on a picture of a keyboard. It might be tough to text late at night, but I've been meaning to cut down on my drinking anyways. But, does it come with any games?

Personally, I don't really care about the multimedia features. Both can play music, though playing video could be quite cool, especially if hulu (which i blogged here) looks good on it.

So, I was all set to bite the bullet and pick up an iPhone when I saw this rumor about the Blackberry 9000 that has 3G! A wrench has been thrown into the system.

What say you, dear reader, should I take the plunge and pick up an iPhone now, when a 3G Blackberry is rumored to be coming out in May? I'm gonna let it marinate until I get back from Costa Rica. Hopefully, someone out there will have made a strong case one way or the other.

And, seriously, how impressed are you with my brickbreaker score?
