Docs to Go (Standard) comes with every BlackBerry, so you needn't worry about being able to handle documents and spreadsheets and presentations, especially if you upgrade to Docs to Go Pro.

It was also a shock going from the intuitive Palm interface to the user-unfriendly Windows Mobile. Not to mention all the crashes.

I'd put RIM OS in between the two. It's mostly robust and reliable and fairly intuitive, but lacks some of the bells and whistles that are on the other two. But more and more software is becoming available as developers realise that BlackBerry is most definitely here to stay.

Now, if only Pimlico Software would port DateBk to RIM...
