Andy's right Mike. I had a Q for a couple of weeks and traded it in for the 700WX because I thought I needed the MS editing capability. BIG MISTAKE. The Treo has a lot of cool bells and whistles, but the phone quality sucks ass. The Q was awesome.. Nice little package, flat, barely knew you had it in your pocket. The Treo is at least double in width and the only significant difference is you can edit Microsoft documents (the Pocket PC vs. Smartphone).
I'd go back to the Q in a heartbeat, but my return period is long over. Palm makes great contact managers and calendering devices, but they should stay out of the cell phone market. Motorola wrote the book on cell phones.
Now the Blackberry is another story. I've had 2 and both were awesome. Great features, and kick as cell phone quality. If you go with the 8703 at Verizon I'm sure you'll you be happy.

Our PD's IT guy will do whatever we need to make anything work. With a Blackberry do you need extra software? If I get one of these I want synching email, calendar, tasks, contacts. Can the Blackberry do this?
I am getting a lot of peer pressure to go with the Pocket PC (VX6700).

Does your department already have a Blackberry server? The Pocket PC's \ Smartphones work off of your Exchange \ POP mail server, but Blackberry's require a dedicated Blackberry server, which is why a lot of places are moving towards Smartphone \ Pocket PC with built in Active Synch.

We do not have a Blackberry Server. I am told you can register all your email though Blackberry.net/something.
I am truly leaning towards Windows Mobile 5 and Pocket PC, but the Treo 700wx appears suited to me also. Treo is big bucks though.
