I have had the blackberry 8700c for a little over a week now and I am debating between keeping my blackberry or getting the hp hw6510. I know that the blackberry platform is very reliable and has some great qualities however I am not on BES server so all of my email is delayed when it arrives to the handset. I am just looking for people's takes on which phone has better RF and also just in general which one is a better choice for everyday use for mostly personal activites and a little bit of buisness when I start my travel agency. Thanks for any and all help.

BB all the way. I've found the battery on the HPs to be very poor. Especially with WAP use for email

I tried 2 HP 6515s and couldn't get either to work correctly. Now have the BB 8700c and love it. You may want to wait for the new iPAQ 6900 series to come out later this year. It will also have WiFi capability.

The email delay doesn't bother me. Can't really understand why one would need it the second it is sent either, even in the business world. As a senior exec in an IT company, I know I don't need it that quickly. If its that important, they can call. Just my 2 cents worth.

The BB can't open attachments, so if that will be a big part of your needs, then you need to go with a Palm or Windows Mobile device. Battery life is probably better in the BB from what I have seen and from personal use as well.
