I don't have one. Lots of people I work with have them and love them. When I surfed looking at them, I saw $400 prices plus service. Most of the folks I know say they got them for $199 so I'd say shop for special sales! |

I've had every model since the Blackberrys came out a few years back. They are awesome and allow me to respond immediately to any email I receive regardless of where I am - out of country, on the golf course, at a Prowler event. Mine also has a built in cell phone. I can also retrieve files from my office server, get stock and portfolio quotes, stock graphs, trade online, and surf the net. Awesome little machine

I have both the new blackberry with the phone and nextel 2 way and all that stuff, as well as the original with just the email. I would highly recommend the old one, battery lasts forever, and holding that big thing to your ear as a phone isn't comfortable, plus the new one is a strictly digital phone and the reception is less than remarkable. But as far as wireless email the original blackberry is awesome. |

I have this instead:
T-Mobile Sidekick II by Danger. From what I hear, does everything a Blackberry does: phone, full internet with real webpages, planner, etc. |

quote: Blackberry is the only device that is "always on - always connected". In other words you get the email the second it is sent to the blackberry. It doesn't have to push/pull messages like sidekick or outlook or other devices - even your desktop only retrieves messages once every X minutes depending on your settings. Many firms also have proprietary software that will only work on blackberrys. From what I understand, blackberrys have 90 some odd percent market share of portable business email devices. The Blackberry is certainly suited more to business than consumer. From a consumer point of view, it has no "real But for email, it's numero uno
