General Comments
If you just want emails on the move, the Blackberry 7230 works perfectly. If you want a PDA with all the bells and whistles and a little pretend pen that you tap away and sometimes get email - buy something else!
Go for a managed account (Vodafone) and not a redirector. After getting to know all the settings, mine does exactly what it's supposed to. When I'm on site I get all of my emails, attachments, WAP and SMS messages without the need for a laptop or phone line. It syncronises with Outlook without crashing. Some people scoff at the Blackberry - watch them wave around their £700 PDA tapping at the screen trying to find a signal....
