I bought one to replace a RIM Blackberry Curve 8300 that I dropped (several times accidentally). :-( This version is sleeker and smaller. The icon and interface design are also more refined. And the resolution of the screen is much better.

I prefer the Curve to the Bold and iPhone. It is smaller and more compact to hold. (This may have to do with the fact I am a somewhat petite female)

I have tried typing on a friend's iPhone a few times, and I really like having a key board. When I was commuting to TO on the GO train, I used it to write a lot of email and type up quick concepts for marketing campaigns.
