people seem to be missing the fact that Blackberry does corporate email (and POP3) extremely well and remains the market leader. iPhone offers no competition in that space. Other features have always been an extra (and still are). Unfortunately for those of us wanting web-centric multimedia devices, BB sucks. My 8800 has done a year of good service as a phone, email and GPS device, and is useful for the web at a pinch. But I rarely bother with music, the bluetooth is not multimedia, and the video is rubbish. However, iPhone is no substitute (nor is it the final word on multimedia). Your money, your choice.
