Treo 750, Black Jack is cheap plastic (plenty of refurbs avail!) Curve is nice phone, but web connection slower than 750, data plan $15/mo. more than 750 X 24 = $360 for 2 years. & I personally, from experience feel the 750 is much more user friendly & easier to grip & hold safely in your hand & better for one handed texting. & several other Palm nice features not even on other PDA/Smartphones. Read Phone Scoops entire review on 750, I'm confident this will help your decision. 😎

depends on what you really need. For me I needed something that would update my contacts, calendar and emails all wirelessly (no need to connect either wired or otherwise to a computer at all - ever). That eliminated the BB right there as it will *sort of* receive your email, but for calendar items, contacts etc you have to get those from a connection to your computer.
I say "sort of" on getting your email with the BB because it's not really retrieving your email from your mail server, it's receiving it from a BB server, usually the BB service unless your company has a BB enterprise server. Then that server is retrieving it from your actual mail server. The problems with this are a plenty, first off speed, now your relying on not one ser...

One thing I will say about RIM and their Blackberry's, if you need mobile email as a paramount criteria for a phone, nobody, nobody does it better the Blackberry, and I don't care how they run it through their servers, and I don't care if all you IT and MIS guys snicker. And it is fast, I don't care what you say. Near instant.
Saying all this, I don't own a Blackberry, because push email is not a big need of mine. But if it was, I'd get one tomorrow.

I think you need to gain a better understanding of the technology involved here, as you obviously don't have an understanding of it at all...
I can be on my computer directly attached to our company network (and thus our exchange mail server) and email comes in on my phone long before it does on my system in outlook...that's pretty freaking fast. send an email to a phone using push on exchange 2003 on wm5 or wm6 and it will show on the phone in about 2 seconds.
Now add to that the funtionality wm5/6 and palm os (new versions) offer that blackberry doesn't even offer, add a contact in outlook, within a few seconds it's on your phone too...delete a calendar item on you phone and a few seconds later it's gone from your calendar on your pc...

oh, forgot...of the ones you mentioned, 750 all the way. The blackjack isn't bad either but it's not a full blown pocket pc, it's just a windows mobile smartphone - this essentially means it's a stripped down version of the full OS without a touch screen. It will still be worlds better than the BB, but not as capable as the 750. If $$$ is equal, the best bang for the buck will be with the 750.
