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 looked into a blackberry for nextel, but decided on keeping my ruggedized phone (since I put it through hell daily) and purchased a palm tungsten c (the one with a qwerty keyboard, full color, internal wifi) and just set up my office with wifi, as well as home. This way I could just migrate from home to office and use it on both networks. Also works fine on Panera's wifi hotspots for free. I personally chose the palm so I could run pocket quickbooks and have every customer record on me when I am on the road.
