AT&T and Verizon keep sending me phones to eval so I've used most of the BB's and a bunch of the WM. If I had to go BlackBerry I think I'd go with the Curve first and one of the 88x0's second. WM. BlackJack II (in hand now) is really nice. So is the Palm 750. I'm not a huge fan of the slide out keyboards but the Tilt I have here is nice as well as the 6800. I'm waiting for them to send me the i760 so I can play with that for a while. I'm interested to see if the front keyboard acts like the Pearl for quick reply capabilities and then you can open the keyboard if you need the qwerty. I wouldn't buy another Q if you paid for it.

I have a few friends who picked one up and its hands down better than the 6700. I am very tempted to drop my BB and go back to WM. Miss the touchscreen and HTML Email. I will say that the email functionality of the BB is much better than the WM.

So, as I understand it, the recommended devices are: WM - Treo 700wx BB - Curve (if available), and 8830 if the Curve is not available. I've spoken with my manager, and she agrees with me that we should pursue getting one of each device, for me to trial, so I may end up walking around with 3 phones on my belt soon...lol.

I have a few specific questions that may or may not have been covered in the last thread. 1) Does the BB, if I have BES installed in my server room, allow sync of contacts/tasks/calendar etc. Also, just to be fair and complete, does the WM device have this capability? 2) Does the BB have the same ability to open the same types of attachments as the WM device? 3) Are there any other functionalities that one device has over the other, from an end-user perspective, that would be something I need to know about? I'm sorry if the last question is a bit vague, but this is really my first endeavor in these waters, and I'd just like to have as many real world experiences as possible to draw from to make this decision. I do understand that it's not difficult to support both, but I just need to make sure the endusers are going to be satisfied with the chosen solution.
