(3) better battery life. If used heavily (constantly surfing web using WiFi, also bluetooth turned on) iPhone battery will last only about 8 hours of constant use. If use mostly as a phone, and turn WiFi and Bluetooth off unless actually using them, then battery life is no problem.

For everything else, iPhone is really superior.

I'm comparing a kb-based BB here, not the Storm.
All true. I like the browser better on the iPhone, but I wanted the full qwerty keyboard. Go play with a Bold and iPhone, both are at AT&T. I went with the Bold and love it.
