On the 8125 and the 8525 (I have the 8525) - the big, slide-out keypad is a blessing and a curse. It's a pain in the ass to use if you're not sitting there focused on using it and not doing anything else. You really have to use both hands to type. So you might like it for that reason, or dislike it for that reason.

The Nokia smartphones are an alternative. The e62 has a nice web browser, and Nokia generally has good phone quality. One thing I don't like about the Blackberry browser is that it treats some Flash navigation menus as one big button, you can't scroll to specific buttons. On the touch screen devices you can just tap what you need on the screen.. on the e62 the joystick becomes a cursor on the screen. And when you hit 'back' on the browser, it displays pictures of your previous pages.

It's also the cheapest phone out of all the phones mentioned here.

One thing also - if you need to edit word/excel documents, the Samsung Blackjack uses the Smartphone version of Windows Mobile, so you can only view.. you can't manipulate. Unlike the larger PPC devices and the Treo.
