Actually there is competition showing up, especially in the form of the Cell Phone PDA's. Such as this one by Sprint... b47.sprintpcs.com Also Motorola has a similar pager/email device. I have used the Blackberry before and it was very good. But now I am leaning to the Sprint cell phone solution. One Cell phone bill of 50/Month covers cell and email plus a whole lot more. While the 40/month I was paying on the blackberry was ontop of my 40/month ATT cell bill.

there is no other device on the market that allows one to bypass a corporate firewall to receive email I assume you mean SECURELY bypass a firewall. WinCE devices can also do it using IBM's wireless tunneling software. developer.ibm.com As for bypassing a firewall without encryption, it's simply a matter of opening up ports for a Palm VII or WAP phone to work.

"there is no other device on the market that allows one to bypass a corporate firewall to receive email" That's one of the main purposes of running a VPN...allowing your remote users to securely access the corporate network to get e-mail. That being said,however, IMO the Blackberry is the only convenient, and yet secure, wireless corporate e-mail device available. Likewise no comment on the stock.
