There is no mention in this thread about the Blackberry. I feel the Blackberry works for what I need. It is a communications device, not an entertainment device although I do use the Sirius radio app on my Blackberry Tour and a few others, along with good internet service including NAT. The Tour has excellent sound quality for a phone when running SIrius.

Just what is it that a phone needs to be? The screen on any of these phones is too small for my older eyes. I also need something more rugges which the Tour in the 2-piece holster seems to be.

I see a combination of a Blackberry plus an iPad device or the new RIM pad as a better combination for many. Joe likes his iPad but I am looking forward to trying the RIM version.
