I can say first-hand that BlackBerrys work flawlessly -- don't know about the iPhones but I'm sure you'll hear from others here...

I use Outlook quite a bit and understand the Blackberry does not sync with Outlook though. Is this correct?

I don't use Outlook but I think the BB clearly does sync with Outlook. (I might be mistaken but I think it's the iPhone that doesn't play as well with Outlook...)
connection, but BES does the sync wirelessly, if that's an issue. FWIW, the BB8700c is on the BMW "approved" list.

I use BB Enterprise Server at the office and the wife used BB Internet service for hers at home. Both worked flawlessly w/ Outlook. I'll have to enquire with her when she gets home as she just got an iPhone but judging from the contacts it loaded when I set up her iPhone for the Bluetooth in her X5, she got it working with Outlook as well. Have not registered any obvious complaints on that front yet...
Edit: Both BB's were AT&T, mine is the Curve and hers was an 8800, I want to say. Will have to confirm that as well...

I'm sure some people will disagree with me but I think you should choose the BlackBerry if you use the device in a business environment. The iPhone was released as a consumer (not business) device but surely Apple will go after business users with the next version/iteration...
