Phone conundrums again

seventheI am actually pretty sure that my Blackberry is starting to send me signals of impending doom and death. Seeing as it is a tool I use religiously, every day, for what probably adds up to be an embarrassing number of hours every day (just emailing you fuckers), AND that it is a tool I carry around in my pants (can't be good for either of us), I am, pretty legitimately seriously, starting to think about my next phone.
I am not an "everybody needs a smartphone" type but for my own personal uses I am looking at smartphones only, mainly because work Internet use is so frowned upon (I can't even get my own email) (and without email I would pass away).
I am stuck back in the realm of Blackberry vs Other. The new iPhone looks very nice, but a) I don't like the thought of losing my keyboard SECURITY BLANKET and b) I still feel like iPhones are too trendy for my dumb ass. I adore the new Blackberry but still feel like I'm not getting as much for my money when compared to iPhone or Android. And I really am not feeling Androids right now, although I cannot pinpoint why (as I certainly haven't ever used one myself).
So if you're an Android user, or an iPhone user, please tell me things you like or don't like about your phone. And hey, if you like Blackberry, tell me why I shouldn't drop it just yet. MAKE THIS DECISION FOR ME KTHX

I went from a brick of a nokia to an HTC Wildfire, I had no trouble getting used to the interface, no clunkyness or anything. I really, really love this phone. It is the cheaper model so it lacks a few features like the camera on the front or the better screen that the Desire or Legend (and now the Wildfire S, I think) have, but seriously, still worth it.
My main arguments for android tend to be price since anything apple sells is too expensive/overpriced, staying away from trendy stuff since I am generally wary and last but not least I disagree very strongly with the way apple censors apps, devs and doesn't allow you full use of your phone without having to illegally jailbreak it.
