Blackberry or Nokia 6200?

My work is giving us outside sales guys the option of one of these two devices. I believe the coverage is with AT&T, but I am not sure. I am TOTALLY dumb to these devices. Currently I use a regular cell phone and a Palm Tungsten C from Hotspots to check my email.

Which one is better, and why? Thank you in advance!

The Nokia 6200, simply put

, is a phone. Nothing more. It has Java and a built in browser.

The BlackBerry is an e-mail device. As opposed to your existing set up (Palm + cell phone + hotspot), the BlackBerry is always on, and your e-mail is pushed to the BB. So you don't "dial out" to get your e-mail.

IMHO the BlackBerry is a great e-mail device, a pretty good phone (but a dedicated, real mobile phone is probably better) and an OK web browser. But it shines at wireless e-mail. So if you want wireless e-mail, the BB is your best bet.

AT&T just announced the 7290 - that is the new BB to get (quad band GRPS, nice color and backlight, Bluetooth).

Hope that helps!
