Companies use BlackBerries for one thing only, communication, not logging any other data. They need you to get their messages, BlackBerry IS the best system for that. For anything else, I beg to differ, this is why the Treo is the preferred PDA/Phone device because third party vendors can effectively develop an application for it. I personally have been waiting to pick up a BlackBerry Curve for my personal use but both Sprint and Verizon still don't offer it. I could go into the why's as well as why BlackBerry is the minority seller for these companies. The Treo has and always will outsell the BlackBerry for people that want to use it for OTHER than communication. So again, before anyone makes a case for the BlackBerry being the most popular, the defacto standard, on and on, you are totally leaving out the WHY this device is used in the first place.

Hang in there, we are planning to cover both iPhone and BlackBerry in our upcoming venture. We just cannot talk about it at this time.

This seems to be the most viewed or most replied to Blackberry compatibility forum post. I've noticed that the last post by NC was in January 08, it is now almost June and was wondering if there is an update on the blackberry/iphone compatibility progress.
