Agreed - it depends on your needs. What we provide is a company owned, managed device for wireless extension of the Exchange mailbox (which includes mail, calendar, address book/GAL access, notes and tasks), intranet web access and cell phone - if required, gps and telenav like application. Our intent is not to replace ones personal cell phone/pda with all their personal apps - this is a business device. As such, BB/BES excels in our minds. YMMV

WM is a computer, my 6800 does full IE (almost), has 6-8 applications I use all the time, and is nearly a 2nd laptop for me. BB is an email machine, there are apps available but few by comparison (though google maps was a great addition) I prefer WM because of the options, we run BES because some of our execs can barely find the power button on their laptops. If we had all folks who were tech savy and used email/calendaring/tasks/exchange to its fullest potential as well as needed a simple laptop replacement for short trips and what not, there would be no question. But we don't, and hence we support both :-) ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
