I definitely don't see any need to carry both but I have pretty simple calendaring needs. I do use contacts extensively as well as notes. I don't use tasks at all. I'm definitely averse to carrying more than one device, regadless of whether it's Blackberry and PDA, Blackberry and cell phone, or whatever.

Still, when I need to log a quick appointment or enter a new contact, but Palm comes out, and all get synced when I get back to my PC.

Interesting. I've never found a touchscreen all that useful for inputting contacts versus the keyboard and trackwheel (learn the shortcuts as well!) interface of the Blackberry. I can even input them single-handed if needed although it is significantly slower to do so. I suspect that it's another situation where if a person invested the time in the Blackberry the proficiency of the device would follow... but that's another YMMV thing.
