There are a couple of things that do rank the BB as a better device for business (for me anyway)
Blackberry Messenger
Their e-mail uses way less of my data than any other phone I've used and it's "secure"
I've also unlocked it and use a T-Mobile sim when I travel in the US, Mexico and even in Canada.. way cheaper than my Rogers data/roaming/Long distance plan.
Thanks for that advice, Sub Styler.
Pre-paid direct certainly sounds like a viable option. Does the phone get unregistered if it hasn't been used for some time?
I only ask because my current pre-pay phone gets cut off if it hasn't been used for 90 days, which means it has to be re-registered to the network provider.

pop3 access may have been something added in iOS5 which as far as i'm concerned brings it in line with the blackberry in terms of essential functionality. I know I couldn't with my iphone (previous generation).
Seavixen, please note the reduction in phone cost is not that great (these days) providers used to subsidise them quite a lot until unlocking became so popular.
The cut off policy varies slightly from one provider to the next but they all have one, it is advisable to try and remember to use the phone ocasionally whichever network you are on. I get my grandad to send me a text once a month just to keep his active.
Thank you all very much for your helpful comments.
From what has been said so far it's looking more likely that I'll plump for the iPhone than the Blackberry.
If I bribe my wife with a cappuccino and a sticky bun tomorrow, I'm sure she won't mind too much if we do the local phone outlets. :)
