Interesting. So, since I will have 14 days to return my iPhone should I not like it, you are saying there is an app that cost $5 that would essentially make backing up and restoring as easy as it is on the iPhone (SMS, Email, missed calls, and apps)? So, if I would have purchased a Droid Bionic, which is what I almost bought before pre-ordering the iPhone, for the cost of a $5 app, I would have the same full and seamless backup and restore capabilities as the iPhone?

Bottom line is that either OS sounds like it is going to be a pleasant change for me, even as much as I like my BB keyboard and e-mail. Coming from a BB, both the iPhone and Android phones are offering features and specs that seem to be light years ahead of what I am used to.
