I use a BB 7290 and an iPaq 4155 (had used PocketInformant on the 4155). The PocketPC offers so much more than a BB unless you need a BB for secure Exchange email, I'd stick with the PocketPC. There are new PocketPC models being released from HP, Motorola and HTC with keyboards. IMHO, the BB shines in getting a secure access to Exchange email, has good battery life for a PDA phone, is built well. Everything else fall short, sometimes far short, when compared to the PocketPC.
That said, PocketDay in my book is a must have application, the PIM on the BB is horrible especially the task list. You can't even copy an appointment without PocketDay. I haven't found any other applications like PocketDay. Berry411 is another excellent application. I use both of these applications everyday, with PocketDay being the main interface I use everytime I use my BB. Unfortunately there seems to be limitations in what is available to developers so PocketDay can't do things like using categories in tasks and some email message limitations. No big deal for me though.
No, I haven't seen any other products like PocketDay. The developers have been very good with support and adding features. PocketDay isn't as pretty as some of the PocketPC PIM applications but it is the best available for the BB and gets the job done.
