Score One for the iPhone
While in SF, Dawnise had her iphone, and I had my blackberry.
Her phone wins, almost hands down. The browser is way more functional, Google maps easier to navigate, and ibart sealed the deal.
My blackberry was sufficient for email, and the lack of push notification to the iphone was still hellishly annoying, but once the new firmware is released, and jailbroken, and carrier unlocked, I'm hopeful that annoyance will vanish.
Now if only someone would write a rules-based email alert app (wake me up when messages matching a specific pattern arrive), it might be able to replace my blackberry.

Best of luck. Apple will knock down an app like that for infringing on Mail.app. (Now if Apple would make Mail.app's API official and encourage developers to add to it, that could be interesting...) Sometime next year, Android based phones as well as the new Palm phones will get a healthy review from me. I've grown tired of the iPhone's limitations and the nice features (like the apps you mentioned) just don't weigh as much as basic features around handling phone calls and email.
