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 use both the Blackberry at work and the Treo 650 for personal use.

if you want to store and manipulate data, then the treo maybe is n't the greatest solution. it does phone and web stuff well. touch screen, high res. and is way more fun than a blackberry.

our blackberry's are thru nextel and so there's that advantage.. boring as hell though.

both keyboards work ok but treos is a bit better. and you can load all kind of programs on a treo. lots of non corporate support.

and you can get them thru verizon. my carrier. best coverage. good camera.
