For that reason, I thought I would open it up to you to give me any input you have on what I should get. I had always assumed iPhone would be my choice, but since I'm making big jump, I figured I would shop my options. I will say that I am already familiar with Apple products as I already use a Macbook Pro, iPad, and iPod. That said, I'm open to your suggestions. Finally, I will leave you with this video my brother sent me a couple years ago (that seems to have been updated and the original version deleted) that makes me laugh, a lot (not work-safe, for language).

Finished with Blackberry
My Blackberry is becoming a huge source of frustration. It started with constantly getting a "wheel of death" only to be followed by a battery life of right at (no kidding) five hours. I spend good portions of my day making sure my phone has enough battery. It seems apparent that it's not the battery either, the Blackberry is looking for something and using massive amounts of power to do so. I am told the problem may be that I have third party applications installed on it. It's a good thing every other device is equipped to handle third party applications. So, I'm done with it. The plan is to get a data-only package for the device for work purposes and then get another device that I will serve as a "smart phone" for personal use.

If you want to spend a lot of time fooling around with it, customizing it, and tweaking it to do all sorts of cool stuff, get an andriod. The cost will be a very slightly not-as-intuitive user interface, slightly shorter battery life, and the result of a fractured hardware/software ecosystem.
If you want a thing that doesn't do as many things, but does all of the things it does well and with a minimum of fuss from you, go with an iPhone.
Despite typically leaning toward things I can customize, fix up, and generally mess around with, I have an iPhone because I see it as a service -- the phone does a certain set of things. Things it doesn't do, it just doesn't do.
Having one place to get apps and having them, by and large, work as advertised has been really, really great for me, and if you're already all i-device'd up, there's no good reason to go with android, I don't think.
If you like your iPad, you'll like your new iPhone.
