i thought with blackberry web client you can add up to 15 POP accounts that will forward to your device but it checks those accounts every 10 or 15 minutes. i thought you had to have an account on a blackberry enterprise server to get instant email.
i know the new t-mobile 7100t "charm" device comes with aol, icq and yahoo IM installed, but i didn't know the other blackberry devices could handle that.
i also like the fact that with a blackberry you can get internet service whenever you have a GPRS signal. with the pocket PC's it sounds like you have to be near a wireless signal/bluetooth.

All Blackberry's come with a PIN (Blackberry to Blackberry) and an E-Mail address for instant e-mail which is usually (Your Desired Name) (AT) (Subscriber)(DOT) (Blackberry) (NET) Confusing ? Not really
[email protected]. You don't need an enterprise server and if you really wanted to you could run a semi-server off your computer.
POP3 gets polled for every 10min. I have my POP3 forwarded to my "nextel.blackberry.net" e-mail account so I get it instantly.
But to be honest if e-mail is not your thing, then these other products have better OS's and you might want to take a look at them. They make things look prettier I guess.
If you need instant real-time e-mail with the perks of an organizer, a task reminder, web browser, AIM etc then go with the Blackberry.
If you need the perks first and not too worried about e-mail then go with a Palm.
This is my last post on the topic...i feel like a fucking Blackberry salesman
