tf3d would be up there with the iphone if it didn't crash.

you can't really compare a windows mobile device to a blackberry device.. they're different beasts. now, if you were to compare the diamond to the omnia, or something else in its realm, you would actually have some info. this question boils down to, do you want a windows mobile device, or a blackberry device. if you can't even figure that out, then you're going to have a hard time narrowing your choices to specific devices.

i wouldn't own a blackberry device because the data plans are more expensive, and the software is very limited. i wouldn't own a diamond because there's no physical keyboard, no sd card slot, and overall, its just not a very functional device. i had one, and had to get rid of it. i have a touch pro, but that too lacks some functionality, like real 3d hardware acceleration, video playback is terrible, and it won't even charge while you're on a call longer than a half hour. these are key flaws that will NEVER be resolved, so get used to them. who cares if it has tv out if you can't even play a video that you took on your phone on the tv at a frame rate higher than 5fps.

i hate when people compare blackberries to windows mobile devices to iphones, to instincts, to whatever else is out there because they kinda look the same. they're all different, and comparing them will get you nowhere unless functionality and service costs mean nothing to you. do you need windows mobile? do you need blackberry? if it really doesn't matter, you're probably better off with a windows mobile device, because at least you have a better chance of adapting it to an actual work situation, if you find one for it.
