[Midlands] Blackberry or Palm?

[David Enright]

Hi Peter,
I have finally got my act together and am looking at fixing PCs and maybe starting my own business (or using the Computer College where I am as a base).  I am thinking of getting a new mobile phone to use as a work phone and keeping my other one private.

I was thinking about getting either the Palm Centro or the Blackberry Curve.  Email on the phone would be handy but I don't need to edit documents - I will do that on my laptop.  The Centro has Documents to Go on it (so you can edit Word/Excel documents) but the Blackberry currently does not - this is in the pipeline.

As you can imagine I don't want to get a phone with Windows Mobile software on it.  What are my options.

I have copied this to the whole  Midlands group and would appreciate any  help or if anyone has experience of the phones what their feedback is.
Cheers,
Dave
