I would say iPhone....My partner used to have a blackberry and has recently changed to the iPhone, he says the iPhone is more a fun phone as there are loads of apps and games for it, but things like email are better on the blackberry.

Iphone, no contest

If you really don't know anything about either phone, maybe you should save your money and go with something cheaper?

It does depend on what you are looking for and what is important.

Some here will say iphone and not have any reason to back it up apart from 'its desirable'. It will cost you an upfront fee and to get it free you would be looking at a high talk plan. Most are like this but the iphone will set you back quite a bit more than other phones.

There is very little to choose from in the HTC and Desire. Both can sync via your computer for music and apps. itunes and DoubleTwist for example. They are both good but the Android OS will let you decide how your phone works where Apple decide for you and do charge you more for some of the basic things.

You would find it strange going from a hard qwerty to an on screen one but there are some new Blackberry phones on their way so i would check the Blackberry website.

I would say wait a few months if you can though as there are going to be some very good and very powerful phones out for all users over the next few months.

It does depend on what you want your phone to do though, an iphone is no good if you just want calls, texts and emails.

depends on what features you want and how much you want to spend, what is essential and what is desirable features etc.

business user / casual user?
pushmail?
flash for camera?
sat nav?
web browsing flash based sites?
whether you want apps for a gazillion things that you dont use or lesser apps that you might actually use?
whether you want to pay for your apps?
size of the screen and quality?
whether you need internet proxies for accessing net?

etc ... etc ... etc
options would depend on that
