You might also want to consider the Nokia E71; it's almost the same form factor as the BlackBerry, but it looks to me as a way more decent (Symbian) device. I've heard some good stories about it too and am oggling it myself as replacement for my Sony Ericsson m600i. If only it had a touchscreen :)
Interesting stuff! It's nice to see our beloved encyclopedia in the results from a lot of searches, as it generally has nice concises data about the subject. Also, I won't see Encyclopedia Britannica equal this feat any time soon :)
