As someone who owns a Curve (and whose girlfriend has an iPhone 3G), I must say that I'm very happy with my choice. I definitely prefer the physical keyboard, one inbox for SMS/email, a bright flash for the camera (although picture quality is markedly worse), and I much prefer navigating with the trackball in most applications, including the browser. The iPhone has much better media features (some would say the Curve essentially has none) and complete web rendering is damn nice, but I find the BlackBerry experience satisfactory, and I haven't even seen a Bold in action. HN renders just fine, thankfully. The App Store is a huge thorn in RIM's side. The Maps app is much better suited for the iPhone than the BlackBerry. Just a few months ago, my gf and I were trying to navigate around Boston (in a car) and her iPhone came to the rescue. It tears me up that AT&T has both the Bold and the iPhone, but if Verizon gets the (full-featured) iPhone, I might not defect.
