I'll tell you this I just picked up a Motorola Q based some reviews i have read and the knowledge of others on this forum. I currently use an 8700 and a razr and i think it may stay that way. I have had the treo 700w and some other pocket pc and smart phones and none will do e-mail the way a BB does. Even if you are not using a BES (exchange Server) it will still beat the competition. The Q is cool looking and light and carries well but really thats about it, form def beats function here. If e-mail is your main goal stick to BB but if you want a mediocre e-mail solution, although it gets the job done, then go WM5 i would even suggest a Motorola Q, camera, media player etc.... let me know if can be of any further assistance111
Some features that come to mind:
1. E-mail filtering and classification (priority, specific rings, etc.)
2. Auto on/off.
3. Being able to run Google Maps
4. Stability
Sure media playing and a camera would be nice, but not if they come at the expense of business use.

Yeah I noticed that last night. I had the alarm set for this a.m. and I needed the phone to be restarted, and I saw the mesg that next startup woulid be this am at my alarm time. I was like WOW. It really turns itself back on??
I recently went from a nextel i930 smartphone to a blackberry 7100 from tmobile. Then i liked that one so much i upgraded to an 8700. There is no comparison between the two. The i930 is a mere toy compared to the 8700. The email service alone is worth the swith. Until Microsoft comes out with a PUsh technology the smartphone will always lag behind...

I'm addicted to my 8700c. I'm on it right now. The BB is great. Its clean and crisp. Not clumsy as the pocket pc's seem to be. Plus with the BES that I just got enabled today and the tethering capabilities I don't think you can go wrong with the 8700. Great Email capabilities, good outlook intergration with hosted BES, great email and features. Awesome device.
I had an MDA, ebayed it, made a small profit and ordered a 8700g. The 1.3 MP camera was not good at all. I have seen some sony ericsson phones with 1.3MP cameras that are actually good, the MDA's camera sucks. The TI processor was too slow, major lag, even when rotating the screen from horizontal to vertical view. The MDA could take a miniSD which I am going to miss when I get my 8700g.

i did the exact same thing except my camera worked great and i thought it had a good picture, it also a little lag but not that much only a second delay or 2
