Two words--> Push email.
I have an 8703e on Verizon. Pricey, but I'm slightly hooked.
What's push email? Basically, you sign up with blackberry once you get your phone, and you get emails as you would texts on other mobile phones.
Consider this: When someone sends you a text, how long does it take? It's practically immediate, right? Do you have to do anything? No. The phone communicates with the network (and vice-versa)...and voila...you have a new text message. It's the same thing with a Blackberry...but with email.
Now, besides this, you also have an internet browser, task manager, calendar, contact list, Word Doc/Excel viewer, Powerpoint viewer, Blackberry messenger (Instant messaging among BB users), games, blackberry maps (w/ GPS on some carriers), etc.
Of course, there are some 3rd party apps. I'm fairly certain that you can purchase an app that allows you to create Word Docs, Excel sheets, etc. Although, how often would you want to sit there and type an entire document? Although, I have found that I tend to use Outlook quite less since getting a Blackberry.
Some consumer models have a phone built in. However, many of the corporate models (such as mine) do not. The reason given is usually for security purposes. Just think--every executive with access to sensitive documents having a camera on hand at all times. Great, huh?
But anyway, one of the draws of the iPhone is the "real page view." Check out Opera Mini 4 Beta. They've developed this for other phones such as the Blackberry. Now, it doesn't have the "auto-rotate" feature that the iPhone has, but I find that it's enough for me.
Also, part of the "what's so great" happens with ownership. The phone is quite an addiction. I suggest testdriving one to see why. Hence, the "crackberry" nickname. Although the iPhone might be equally appealing, BB users as a whole recognize their devices usefulness and lore.
