Got the Blackberry 8900 Curve last week...........you won't be disappointed, is a cracking phone. Keypad on Curve is easy to use, doesn't take much to get used to. And the rollerball is great, probably better than touch screen when it comes to selecting certain bits of a text for example. And like davidg said.......if any of your friends have a Blackberry the Instant Messenger is helpful, saves the texts. All in all a great phone
The iPhone ain't too shabby either.
