I use a BB for work with 1010 and no issues whatsoever. I use a Iphone 4 (3) for personal use mostly email, browsing and Twitter. I prefer the BB of late for twitter as its easier to type on the BB.

no seriously, apart from what's already said, 9700 user here and I love the QWERTY, BBM, few other apps are OK, there are days that it drives me nuts, but in the end, it gets the job done... I think the reason corporate likes it is because of it's security features and it's ability to work with exchange server..
I wonder why Angry Birds does not come default on BB ? seeing people play that everywhere now.. lol
I use a BB9700 on a Three 12-month contract.
However, the biggest problem I find is that my connection to the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) seems to connect and disconnect frequently (i.e. the little B icon in the top-right of the screen) even though the signal strength is shown as very strong. It is frustrating because I can not send/receive emails or BBM messages until it reconnects again which might be a few minutes. Is this normal in HK as I never had this problem in the UK?

So whats battery life like on new 9900? My 9800 can't last a day which it pretty pathetic compared to the iPhone which lasts twice as long and is used much more.
The 9900 lasts a day - down to about 50percent by the end from a full charge. Used mainly for email and geo-surfing for an hour or two on the bus, with the odd rare phone call.
My 9700 was better - that would go 3 days doing the same.
Battery is thinner on 9900 so not as great as the 9800. I find it's comparable if not better than my iPhone. I'm a heavy user on both so I will be honest and say both don't last to end of day. And I use my bb more.
I never use the BB for surfing as the browsing and resolution are so poor. It's just for email, calls, a few texts and a few whatsapps. The phone is generally dead before I get home. Mind you it's my company phone, the contract is coming up for renewal so I've yet to decide what to replace them with.
