My experience is different. I had a blackberry on Verizon, and then downgraded that to a standard flip phone and got an iPhone. Shortly after, I kept the iPhone but also went back to a blackberry on Verizon.
I use both every day. The iPhone has it's benefits, but the AT&T network pretty much sucks nationwide. I frequently get better/faster service on my blackberry than what AT&T can deliver to my iPhone. There are pockets where the iPhone has really good network speed, but AT&T is pretty much getting trounced for having a network that is not holding up to the user demands.
The iPhone is also missing simple external notifiers like an LED for missed calls or new messages, so if you're away from your phone for a while you need to pick it up, swipe to unlock and look for new message indicators. The blackberry just flashes a red LED to show missed calls/messages.
