Help choose the next CNET Prizefight: BlackBerry Bold versus...?

Who should the BlackBerry Bold take on?
(Credit: Corinne Schulze/CBS Interactive)OK Crave readers, I need your help. The CNET Prizefight ring is setting up for a few final battles before the end of 2008, and one contender just waiting for its chance in the spotlight is the RIM BlackBerry Bold. Now usually, the editors make the decision about which two devices to compare, but frankly, I'm having trouble choosing the right competitor. I've got some ideas, but thought it would be nice to get your feedback as well.
I've already received a lot of reader e-mails wondering how the Bold stacks up to the iPhone 3G. However, I'm a little hesitant to compare the two since I think the phones are intended for different audiences (business versus consumer) and have different design elements (QWERTY keyboard, touch screen, and so forth). Plus, there are plenty of other worthy smartphones out there. The iPhone is not the end all, be all. But hey, if I get an overwhelming response for the iPhone, majority rules and I'll be happy to oblige. Either way, let me know what you think in the comments section below by Thursday, and I'll choose the winner on Friday.
Also if you're wondering: yes, there is already a iPhone versus RIM BlackBerry Storm prizefight in the works, so grab your seats for that showdown, which is coming next week.

Bold vs E71?
Bold vs Samsung Saga?
I am sick of everything being compared to the iPhone 3G. The iPhone is not even a real smartphone.
It's a comparison I need to see. Thanks!
Bold vs. Nokia E71
I think a Bold vs. iPhone would be cool because Apple is putting the phone up against smartphones from RIM and other smartphone makers. The phone is marketed as a business phone.
Know that the latest is suppose to be a step up, but have relatives that have one of each. Bold is dropping calls, the Curve seems to be steady. Like the fact that can manipulate Excel files on the Bold.
