Just so you know, these comparisons have been made before, and most of this info you could probably get from a 7100/7290 white paper or by searching... but as far as the two devices go, they are nearly similar in functionality. It's your preference for the form factor though.

As far as the main differences between the two being the keyboard and speakerphone I am fine with either as I am used to T9 on my phone for text messages. I've searched through the forums and still have these questions. If some of these functions are not built-in are there applications that will give me these capabilities?

1) Do blackberries have...?
timed profiles
voice dialing
voice commands to access certain functions/apps
voice recorder
GPRS data counter?
call timer
calling card option
auto redial
other languages - non english char set
cell info display?
application categories?

2) Can I use redirector with pop/imap?

3) How fast is the wap browser speed? HTML browser? As fast as using the blackberry as a modem for my laptop or just 14400?

Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
