Drew,
I carry both the iPhone3GS for personal use and a company issued Blackberry Curve. With our corporate policies, I just feel much better to keep my two sets of applications separate rather than mix and mingle personal email and social networking on a corporate phone. I check on Twitter and Facebook, personal email and text messaging on the iPhone and heavily rely on the Blackberry for push email and client calls.
It does add street cred to carry two phones , but seriously I like the feature sets of both phones. As for chargers, I pack one of each in my roller bag and luggage.

@Hughker: That sounds great! That’s exactly the kind of harmonious co-existence I’m looking for. Now if we could just get Microsoft Outlook to recognise that we have multiple mobiles we’ll be in business!

One other thing I’ve done is to forward all calls from one phone to the other especially during the week. This way I can leave the personal one in the briefcase without missing any calls. My carrier charges me to do this, but I don’t get that many personal calls.

I have an iphone and a work-issued phone (not a BB though, just a simple old school flip phone).

I definitely hate having to carry around two chargers and having to keep track of two contact lists. I can imagine it gets worse with the BB because you have to manage multiple email accounts too. Yikes!

I got this adapter from SendStation: http://bit.ly/19OgG6
It allows me to use my BlackBerry charger to charge the iPhone as well.

Pretty handy. And its very small.
