Seriously, I should be studying...

...but I'm not because I have a bit of a dilemma.  I cannot make up my mind for a variety of reasons...

iPhone versus Blackberry

iPhone:
--pros: 
  ***fantastic
  ***extend my love to Apple
  ***Have everything I've ever wanted in a phone
  ***Internet service where I want (provided there is a signal)
  ***Unlimited text and data usage
  ***Can get early service to make nights easier and unlimited
--cons: 
  ***AT&T service (not currently an end-user)
  ***loss of mobile to mobile with the red-check-mark network
  ***have to pay out of pocket for service (yes, the one thing I am spoiled on...), but would be cheaper than if I was paying now!

Blackberry:
--pros:
  ***Stay with the red-check-mark service
  ***Keep my money
  ***Internet, text and data service
  ***Keep my network
--cons:
  ***It's not an iPhone
  ***Compatible with a mac?
  ***No camera
  ***Again, it's not an iPhone

So, if I was to logically break this down, I'd be out about $80/month plus phone (I've already been saving for that one...) but I'd have access wherever I may be.  

Let's chalk it out...

Current service:  
1200 anytime minutes - used per month: 278
Unlimited network minutes - used per month: 700
750 text - used per month: 225

iPhone service:
450 anytime minutes
Unlimited data service
200 Text month - can add $10.00 to increase
ROLLOVER MINUTES!!
Night and Weekend Minutes - 5000 month (which can rollover)
Unlimited network minutes
Early night service $8/month - 7 to 7

Blackberry service:
Take iPhone service and add $50, subtract early night service and rollover minutes, and doubtful that I'd still be spoiled if I went to a Blackberry...
