WOT - Thinking of getting a PDA, Anyone have good info on them? Options

[MoveQik]

Since I am out of my office more than I am in it on some days, I have been entertaining the idea of getting a Blackberry. My cell phone is with Verizon and their network has been by far superior to others so I would like to stay with them. My main goal of this is to be able to check email while out on the road. Since I have Cox as my ISP, I figure as long as I have web access I can log on to Cox and access my email. However, after reading some info on the Blackberry it sounds like I can have email forwarded directly to the PDA from my computer. I am not a computer guru so this sounds too good to be true. Any thought/experience with these things?

The geeks at the Verizon store were pretty much useless. You guys seem to know a little bit about everything so help a brotha out.

I used the Blackberry for a year and really liked it. The reason I no longer have it is because of the phone service I had with it (T-mobile). Their coverage area is sparse and I needed better coverage. While I was in Germany the coverage was great, but I wasn't there that often.

I considered getting another Blackberry but ended up with a Razor from Cingular. If I really needed to be connected all the time I would get another Blackberry and look for the best coverage.
