My thoughts
I have both like many others and the BB is issued at work. Funny thing is I don't use it. The BB sets on a desk on the charger. (what a waste).
Actually I think most comanies across the US do not purchase cutting edge tech as it's released. Most are years behind because or Bureaucracy (contracts etc). So it's take time to change for one thing and there has not been enough time go by yet. Then we have to factor in the marketing engines. Heck many of the people I work around don't even realize the iPhone can be used on our network. It's kind of sad actually.

i have my iphone for personal use and my bb curve for work(i work in IT). I was given it for free but i hate it, i dont like having to carry around 2 phones when my iphone does everything i want it to. alas we need to use bb messenger. i wish they gave us bb storms, i would be a lot happier having to use it all day.
I use my iPhone for contacts and calendar with Mobile Me. I am self employed and don't have BES so Mobile Me does the trick. Now for the other side, I use my Verizon Blackberry Curve for Voice and email and text. The reason for this is VZ has much better reception and virtually no dropped calls in my area. AT&T is great in some areas but not where I need it. So I carry 2 phones, not the best solution but one that works.
