Should I get an iPhone or a Sidekick LX?

My sidekick 2 just broke on me and I'm wondering what to get next. The LX is $250.00 with a $50 mail-in-rebate. Not sure about the iPhone.

Things I like about my sidekick:

Best keyboard on any phone.

Has IM capabilities that are superfast and easy.

For those who have never used a sidekick, they come with auto backup of all your information, i.e numbers/notes/contacts at no additional charge. I've still got numbers in there from 7 years ago and I've gone through at least 5 different sidekicks.

iPhone pros:

Better and more diverse apps/games, GPS, faster and better web browsing (I'm a web designer)

I own a MacBook Pro so integration with iPhone would be cool.

iPhone cons:

I'd have to switch carriers. Not sure about insurance, texting is gonna suck on it. (not as fast as sidekick with texting)

If I lost the phone, not sure but I'd prob lose all my numbers and everything.

Please help me choose one.

Update:

I've played with a BlackBerry and my honest opinion, there are weird usability things that I don't like. Such as using the blackberry button to execute things.

    I have to tell you, I support both for T-Mobile, and I can't stand either one of them. The iPhone's functionality sucks unless it's on AT&T; the Sidekick doesn't do 90 percent of the stuff that I would expect of any other phone at that price.

    I vote for the Blackberry Curve. You can tether it to your Macbook; it's completely functional with any network, and it's got phenomenal battery life. Letting a single button stand in your way when it can do so much is a little silly in my book.

    I know a site where you can the sidekick for 150 with a 100 mail in rebate. You do have to sign up for a new contract though if not the phone is like 250.00, click on wireless( www.myacn.com)

    Get a Blackberry Curve better than both. Honestly.
