Nice timing, I just got the Blackberry Curve (8310) yesterday as I needed something with email capabilities for my business. Smallest and lightest phone that has a full QWERTY keypad. For email writing, texting and phone quality it beats the iphone for me. If you do a ton of web browsing on your phone the iphone has the edge.
Also the Blackberry maps and GPS functionality is not as strong as the iphone. I've used both and for what I need, the Blackberry is perfect, great phone.

Also if you are willing to wait a bit you could pick up one of the new Blackberry Bold phones which apparently are amazing.

I have the 3g iphone and the curve. I love my iphone but some people can't get use to the touchscreen. You cannot go wrong with the curve though....Great all around phone. But the best advice I could give you is dump Etrade, interactivebrokers.com is what you need. Think of it like the Matchbook of the financial world.
I am on my 5th Blackberry curve 8320. 4 times I've had to send it back because the track ball quit functioning. 2 of the 4 used to cut out on me in the middle of calls and I was not in bad areas. Store I bought it from said his wife has the same problem. I love all the features that come with it...just not the problems. I will be looking at the Bold.
