See...I really like the full QWERTY key board on my 8800 BB. The positive, firm keys I like and have gotten really use to typing on it. The thing has been like a tank. I can't remember how many times I've dropped that thing...or how many times the baby has dropped it..and the battery goes flying out. Battery back in and the thing boots up and keeps on going.
Can the Iphone do that?

The BB kb is superior. I have had BB's since the pager-sized BB that took a AA battery, and I could type very fast on the BB. My typing on iPhone after 5 months is at 1/2 the speed. As for durability, I haven't dropped the iPhone so can't say how tough it is. I use a rubber case that would likely protect it against falls. The BB is tough, I've only broken one BB by dropping it.

Also, I like the e-mail features of the BB. I have a few accounts that I get e-mails from and I like the way it's set up. Does Apple have a service like BB where I can register different person e-mail accounts to pull into my handheld?

Yes, it does that fine.

I use to use the BB for work. I actually bought it because my former employer wanted all their managers to have a BB, and they gave initial and monthly allowances. My new employer isn't BB friendly so I mostly use it for personal use. I realy log onto the actual e-mail accounts anymore.
Oh....my BB can go two days with heavy use without a recharge. I love that. It would suck to have to plug the Iphone in after a day's use...rushing to plug it in at the end of the day.

No way around it - if you use the iphone heavily and constantly for webbrowsing, streaming video, playing movies off memory, etc, then battery life will be an issue. You will not get 2 days of such use. Of course, such use isn't even realistic with the BB other than maybe the Storm
