Fitbit vs HRM vs Jawbone UP

Before coming here I had never heard of the Fitbit or HRM - I had seen the Jawbone UP bracelet and as I use my IPhone for virtually everything (I access MFP from there - it has my shopping list - it has the app I use to track my cycling etc etc) I was pretty keen to get the UP and keep with the same device.
Now, I am, confused !
I guess my questions are -
Has anyone here used the Jawbone UP and if so how do you rate it.
And is anyone expert enough to give a simple overview on the differences pros and cons of the 3 devices please ?
**EDITED TO ADD**
OK I just figured out the search function and see this question has been asked and answered - I dont seem to be able to delete this post though
(Note to me - next time search first - post second!!)

New heard of the Jowbone Up until I saw your post. I checked online and found some reviews on the Amazon site. Didn't look to good. I have and HRM (Polar FT4). Its my first one so I started low end. I looked at the Fitbit but didn't want to spend the money. Love my HRM. Don't mind that its not linked to my iPhone although I do use the phone for pretty much everything else.0
