So here's one I've been chewing on for the past few weeks: I'm just about ready to make the jump to a smartphone. I'd like to be able to manage my calendars (two on Google, one on MS Exchange) and occasionally check work e-mail (also on Exchange) without relying on WiFi. Being able to update Facebook, etc., would also be nice. And if I can check out Autosport...woo hoo!

I'm sticking with Verizon Wireless, so there's no need to start that debate here. What I can't quite decide is whether to get the Blackberry Curve (full QWERTY keyboard), Pearl (not quite), or the Motorola Q9c (Windows! Eek!). I'm leaning towards a Blackberry...

Other info: I primarily work on my iMac but could hook into my work-supplied Dell laptop if necessary. But I'd rather not.
