Wow - that's durability!
Can you tell me something about interoperability with a pure-linux
environment?
Thanks.

I've got to go with the Blackberry here, if only from a durability standpoint.
I managed to lay down a motorcycle at 70mph (don't try this at home, kids)
with a blackberry on my hip and not only did the thing survive the wreck (I
used it to call EMS after a bystander retrieved it from half a block down the
road) it was in good enough condition that my (then) employer reissued it to
someone in the field when I left the company. As far as I know it's still
ticking along just fine a year and a half later.

I am a crackberhry user. I gotta say that I love my BlackBerry. It
allows me to IMAP to my e-mail, use popular IM programs (that some of my
coworkers use), and keep track of my calendar.

OK folks, I'm ready to take the plunge. I have never before had a cell
phone, and I'm going to skip that technological stage and get something
like a Treo. I'm here begging for advice.
I would like a combination PDA/phone that lets me do email, telephone,
and standard PDA stuff. I don't care much about web, but I suppose it's
a nice plus. I'm used to PalmOS, but not wedded to it. Price is a
factor, but by no means the only factor. The thing should definitely be
able to do its thing without having to interact with Windows.
Any advice?
Thanks.
