These two phones have a rivalry that equals the competition found between Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan; Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield; Jack in the Box and Burger King; Baskin Robbins and Cold Stone Creamery — well, you get the idea.

The answer, as found in an NPD survey, may very well surprise you. Most folks anticipated that during the first quarter of 2009, the iPhone would sweep across the board as the number one smartphone. That has not proven to be the case, however.

The survey reveals that, in all of the United States, Apple’s iPhone 3G takes second place. It is the runner up to the Research in Motion Blackberry Curve.

Following the first two spots are the Blackberry Storm in third place; the Blackberry Pearl — but not the Pearl Flip — in fourth place, and the T-Mobile G1 in fifth. Clearly, the Blackberries are the ones sweeping the boards.

So let’s give some props to the Blackberry Storm.  This phone is definitely one for the records.  Not only is it super easy to type out e-mails or text messages with the built in touch screen keyboard, but you can pretty much pick up internet anywhere and everywhere.

Another great thing about this particular phone is the fact that it has a 5MP camera which seriously … is incredible!  Not only will you be able to take awesome pictures but you can post them online right after you take them!

Blackberries are never going to go away, I know that, you know that – they are one of those things that people are going to always own and I love that.  Personally, I do not have a blackberry, but I am thinking about getting one and I definitely will be getting the blackberry storm for it is truly one incredible phone!
