If your folks just need e-mail and phone, without all the bells-and-whistles, I would suggest the Blackberry. It is rock-solid for e-mail, very, very, good for a phone. My boss is older and cannot figure out the windows mobile quirks. If your people just need the e-mail to keep streaming, I've never had a problem with the Blackberry. I have with the ppc.
