I'm not going to preach about BB's or Bash Windows (To hard). I've had a Windows Mobile (Q) and Treo (Palm OS) and the BB's (3 7130e 8700g 8703e) and minus it's lack of camera and media support I still love and find myself back at them. You'll have a GREAT time tinkering with ALL the things you can do on them other phones, but once the crashing starts or in my case the phone randomly shuts off and won't start and the crappy battery life you'll question it. But yes if your looking for those features you'll sacrafice in other areas. Good luck!
