I am not a gadget guy at all but I am consistently impressed by Blackberries.  
The synchronization between Exchange, BES and Blackberry cannot be matched by 
any device that I know of.  I don't like depending on Microsoft for email, I 
don't like not having a native client on Linux (Evolution sucks last I 
checked) but the integration and ease of use from SMTP through to blackberry 
is impressively smooth.

I really, really like the Blackberry.  I never had palm or any other PDA 
before the Blackberry, I just didn't see the point, now I do ...

From what I hear the iPhone is severely over-hyped, lacking such basic 
features as cut and paste.  As far as I understand it, no businesses are 
likely to consider it as there's no worthwhile encryption or security 
features.
