The BlackBerry vs. The iphone

For the last 18 months now, I have owned an LG Viewty on a really good contract deal. However, the phone is nothing short of terrible and I have been counting down to this time that I can finally upgrade.
But I am now having the same debate with myself that quite a few people seem to have come across lately...To purchase the BlackBerry with its BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), sleek design, and brilliant access for email usage, or the iphone, with an app for everything and good wi-fi applications.
To look at it as a typical 19 year old teenager, I'm drawn to the BlackBerry. Alot of my friends have the BlackBerry as well as the famous BBM application to it meaning keeping in constant contact with them would be alot easier. I also love the way it looks and after having the LG for a year and a half, I'm sick of touch screen phones.
But then I think to myself, I'm a Journalism and Media student. I like to know the lastest news, both National and Local and with the iphone I can keep up-to-date with this a lot easier. The wi-fi rates on the iphone are also known to be alot faster than that of the BlackBerry and as someone who is completly obsessed with Facebook, this is very tempting.
So with a week to go before my contract runs out, and I'm still to decide on my desired phone. Looking at the state of my bank account however, I guess I'll have to go with the cheapest deal.
Oh the joys of being a student...
