This reply is only tangentially relevant and basically a grumble so feel free to stop reading here.
For the most part, I have to say that I really don't care what happens. Never been a fan of blackberry devices, even less of those whose thumbs are glued to them 24/7 like in the men's room or in the middle of a funeral for heaven's sake.
Still, I wonder how many times a blackberry user has had to soft reset their device in say the last few months (276 or my K-Jam, yes that's a few times a day) or how many times they have to plug it in until it syncs (an average of three per sync for me about haldf the time requiring a soft reset). It's little wonder to me that there is an attraction to blackberrys (outside of the push email) like, for instance, it seems to just work.
Yes, I know that the PPC can do a thousand things that a blackberry can't. That's why I own one. But you know you have a problem when you won't do things with it for fear of it falling over as in disconnecting it from USB for a few minutes of normal use. If reliability continues to slip (and unfortunately it seems to be getting worse, not better), I seriously wonder what device I'll go with next.
