I also have an HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125). I really like it, but there are a couple of things that I do miss from the Blackberry.
1. Vibrate notification when a new e-mail arrives - this just flat out does not work unless the Wizard is powered on (not in Standby).
2. Alarms? Reading over the HTC Wizard forums @ the XDA Developers site, it seems that alarms are a big problem with this device. Maybe not a big deal during the day, but apparently when the device is in standby overnight, it doesn't process everything completely and alarms for early the next morning don't work. From what I can see, this apparently depends on the device and some claim to have fixed it, but the majority seem to have problems.
On a related note, it would be nice if Cingular was able to update their device even close to the HTC firmware releases. As it is, I was able to download an update from the XDA site to enable push e-mail and a lot of other fixes, but Cingular should really make that available sooner. If someone can pick up an HTC Wizard ROM and modify it to look almost exactly like the Cingular base install within a couple of weeks, Cingular should surely be able to have a team able to put out updates in a couple of weeks. :?
Overall, I agree that this could be a hurting point for Blackberry, especially with some of the free push e-mail services out there right now. Just wish they'd fix some of the basic issues that corporate folks tend to appreciate.

ps - any feedback on a good Bluetooth headset to work with the HTC Wizard? The hands-free that comes with the unit is okay, but the wires are really long.
