I’m wary of carrying my phone there, both because it might get damaged and because I don’t really want to be interrupted.

It’s the BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server). If your orgnization has one, then nothing will beat the Blackberry’s capabilities. It’s what allows the Blackberry to integrate into the corporate infrastructure securely. It’s more than just email, eventhough it does everything from allowing you to read, reply, delete, file, etc… mail messages and create, accept, deny meeting invitations – I’ve used it in an Exchange and Lotus Notes environment and I believe it exists for Groupwise as well. If you want to develop custom applications, you can develop client/server apps or web based apps which work securely with back-end servers because the BES provides MDS (Mobile Data Service) which makes the Blackberry part of the corporate infrastructure (behind the firewall) from anywhere. It’s orange book FIPS certified and it provides the transport that makes the device part of the enterprise. The exchange push garbage can’t hold a candle and it turns out that in my environment, we need to purchase a new server to enable it for the two users that had to have a new toy – I guess they’ll be out of luck.

I love the Curve…. it just WORKS. I do miss a couple things on the iPhone (namely, Google Reader) but I’m glad to have something that does email well and is reliable. At first I was just trialing the Curve for 30 days or so until the iPhone’s are more available, but I think I might keep it!!!

But for me, I’ll stick with a sprint phone with better service than AT&T, and keep my ipod touch for everything other than a phone that the iphone has to offer.

I use tethering with my Blackberry Curve now, love having that feature available when I need it.

You might kick yourself for not waiting. I am an avid Apple fan and the iPhone looks tempting, but being stuck with ATT service and not as good email service doesn’t seem worth it just yet. I’ll stick with my BB for now.

Its totally unusable for serious business use.

As always, another device for kids with brain damage and trend slaves. So I’m back to my old faithful BB Pearl.
