If you're a student, neither because a better version will be out in a few years. Save up for that instead, and use your good old Motorola for a phone for the time being. If you're not, then its up to you but i'd be getting an iPhone jailbroken.
For the comment about iPhone saves loggs of text messages not just individual ones... Blackberry does the same. You get the whole convo displayed not just an individual logg. You get an endless amount of profiles you can make for people. If you want a certain ringtone played when someone texts/calls you you can set it for every person.

well from every thing i have heard a black berry is better for work and kind of organization and the iphone is better for all around use i personally am getting an iphone within the next 2 weeks
I'm probably going to downgrade, because I currently have 1.2 somehow and customize doesn't work but everything else works fine pretty much.. Probably was from the iPhoneLike or iSetting app lol. Most of use used ziphone, and some had to use iLiberty [something with the bootloader downgrade for iPhones].
Get a blackberry. Why? Chances are the iPhones will all start breaking in about a years time whereas Blackberrys have few hardware problems, plus you can pick and choose your provider easily rather than being sentenced to use whatever bids the most to Apple.
I have heard no reports of iPhones breaking what so ever unless people bricked it doing the WinPwn jailbreak method and you can unlock the iPhone easily w/ Ziphone
