To be honest I havne't looked closely at the other phones. I had some time with the driod and just didn't care for the device. It was quite functional though.

I use the iphone as an ipod too and can play movies and what not and it integrates with itunes just like my ipod (which can play movies also on that damned small screen). I hate itunes but mix it up with my phone and I like them. I have been using blackberries forever and I have NEVER - EVER been satisfied. I hate them, I think they are the most dysfunctional device ever. At the same time though I have not used any of the new models. The history of the device though would really have to overcome with some awesomeness which they never seem to have. I've looked at the new ones and they only seem like they have fixed the basic badness (browser).

iPhone+Smart apps+Itunes+Camera+Video+Integrated Internet+Really usable interface+Cool Factor=win.

Blackberry+No good media integration+Crappy Browse+stupid form factor+crappy apps=fail.

At least in my book.

I've had Macs too, even recently but I'm done with their high cost. When OS X came out I was really stoked being that I am a unix guy at heart. The work they did on that OS however makes it really hard for me to do what I want vs just running a linux emulator on Windows.
