I personally have the DROID X (rooted with overclock / underclock app) + extended battery. It's a wonderful phone, but I am biased. I have integrated the android platform into my small business and use it to keep track of our servers and to keep track of employee hours.
If I only had a phone for general use such as texting, e-mail, web browsing, calendar, games, alarm clock, etc etc etc. The iPhone would be my choice. I have nothing bad to say about the iPhone other than you don't have any removable storage. I have heard the new iPhone is coming out next month (with 4G (not the iPhone 4 that's 3G)). I would strongly recommend waiting for the new iPhone either way because even if you don't want 4G the price for the older iPhone will take a dive.
I can't really offer more advice than that because it really comes down to personal preference. I would either use friends phones with the iPhone / DROID for a good 5-10 minutes (keyboard especially) or dink around with the phones in the store, but either way do not get a phone unless you've at least tried a few. That two years until the next upgrade can be painful if you hate your phone. I had the original DROID and now the DROID X and haven't hated myself one bit but I know a lot of people who have by getting blackberrys or especially windows mobile phones.
PS: I don't know about the iPhone but I know the android system has tons of different keyboard replacement apps out there from SWYPE (slide your finger over a series of letters to type) to iPhone replicas so remember that the only limitation you will have keyboard wise on a DROID is the size of your screen.
Hope this helps...
Jonathan
