I need push email but Blackberry is overkill as i don't have to write lengthy replies.
This iPod 3g is actually quite tempting, perfect nearly.

From State-side: Not exactly a scientific study, Mark. Most of the corporate users of BBs that I've had contact with rather see the 'squish' coming the other way. Certainly, your statement is attention getting but hardly a truth. Perhaps your Apple stock holdings that may be driving this wish.

Mark Frary clearly doesn't travel on business. I'd love an iPhone, but there are two simple reasons why it won't squash my BlackBerry: the BlackBerry keyboard enables me to type long emails efficiently; and I can copy/cut and paste between applications, which I can't do on the iPhone.

It's a joke to think that the iPhone will ever kill a BB. As long as the iPhone lacks a physical keyboard it will never "squash" BlackBerry let's get real.
People with BlackBerry's have them because they need to respond to emails and they're not always short. A real keybaord is why BB is on top

Gary, as a business owner, I guess you don't allow your employees access to internet-connected desktops either. After all, why would you want them to listen to music all day, watch youtube and surf the web? A notepad and pen are a true business device, eh?
Fred Smith, Paris,
As a business owner I don't want my staff using iPhone as why would I want them to listen to music all day, download video on YouTube and surf the web? The BlackBerry is a true business device that allows me to fully control what users can and can't do and ensure my staff are more productive.
