iPhone or Blackberry Storm?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Try to type in a whole email message with the BlackBerry Storm. The clicking screen is very confusing. Although tactile feedback is a great thing, the way it is done with the Storm is actually slowing you down. I'm pretty sure that this clicking screen is a 2008/09 thing and we will never see it again in later models.
In case you need a Blackberry for some reason (and there are good reasons to have a Blackberry), definitely take one with a keyboard. This is what a BlackBerry made successful and what they are really good at. If you prefer typing on a real keyboard, get the BlackBerry Bold or a Nokia E71.
The worst thing with the iPhone is its camera. It's fixed focus doesn't allow to take pictures of close objects and the camera app has no way to change the exposure. So many interesting apps (barcode scanners, Evernote, OCR etc.) don't work well because of the bad camera. However, the Storm's camera is better, but still, they could have done it better. It would be perfect if the iPhone would have a camera as good as the one in the great SonyEricsson C905.
Here in Switzerland and in other parts of Europe, we have a bigger choice of network providers and it's very common to buy unlocked phones. This makes it easier to choose the device and network that's really best for you. I think in the US, your decision may depend to a certain degree on the coverage of your network in your area and not all devices are offered by all providers.

Choose a better device. A BlackBerry Bold or a Curve 8900 would be better, if you could get it unlocked. Also look into other phones. Unlocked HTC devices (often sold as AT&T or T-Mobile brands) are excellent Windows Mobile devices, though I've got some issues with Windows Mobile these days. Either way, plenty of support for these things, especially from the XDA Developers forum, which can help you unlock several HTC devices if your carrier doesn't sell the particular model you want. I've got an unlocked and hacked T-Mobile Dash operating on AT&T right now, and it's playing nice.
I'd also consider a Nokia Series 60 device. The Eseries are awesome business phones with professional options that rival the BlackBerries, and the Nseries have some of the best cameras available in phones (only the Xperia X1 can compare to the Nokia N82). The N82 is very nice, and is only $349 on Amazon, but if you wish for 3G service (in the United States) you might want to look at the N95-3 ($329) and N95-4 ($449) (the difference is that one has 8GB of built-in storage). I own an N73-5 (an older Nseries phone) and I love it. Plus, Nokia's customer service is phenomenal.
Just FYI: touch screens are a bit overrated. They're worthless for typing, and you can do 95% of the things you want to do without them. They're nice to have, but I wouldn't choose my phone based on whether or not it has one.

M$Most reviews I see about phones that compete with the iPhone end with '.... but it's not an iPhone'.
The competition have similar components - GPS, Bluetooth, touchscreen, etc. But somehow the overall experience just doesn't match the iPhone experience.

The iPhone has the great amount of Applications from the open market behind it and that can surely make a huge difference. The big problem the iPhone has been having of late is the battery life. Other disappointments include no video. Even with that, I'd chose the iPhone!

iphone = speakerphone isn't loud enough
storm = you have to release the screen to press the next key (or so I have read in the new york times and I hope I am wrong)
then there are questions about whether you like the itunes integration. iphone can only sync to one outlook mailbox by the way. the list of intricacies can go on for pages. I have had my iphone since a month after they were first released and wouldn't give it up, but I still don't recommend it to all of my friends because of some of its limitations.
