From my own experience, you do not need to have a PC turned on just to receive messages via your iPhone or a BlackBerry. Now, here are the things that the BlackBerry can do that I don't know if the iPhone can:
- Show all your messages from all your email accounts under "Messages"
- Alert you of a scheduled appointment on the screen
- Set appointments on the device itself without syncing
- Turn off, then turn back on when an alarm goes off
- MSN (Windows Live Messenger) can be in the background and will alert you of a message
As a matter of fact, I don't know if the iPhone even supports MSN / Windows Live Messenger.
