"Bottom Line:

If you really want to invest in wireless e-mail and Web data, my best advice is to wait. Much better devices for consumers and small-business people are likely to show up next year. For now, if you want to focus mainly on email, the RIM Blackberry 957 is the best way to go, provided you can get one configured properly from a third-party vendor who converts it from a purely corporate product. For phone lovers, the best near-term bet is probably the Sprint TP3000. And for hand-held users who'd like to be able to dial voice calls directly from their large contact lists, try the Handspring VisorPhone."
