I worked for RIM for 2 years on an internship. The BlackBerry has come a long way in the last few years. Have you tried developing for your Pearl yet?

What sort of data plan do you have?

So to answer-- I've had the 7200, pearl and 8700 as my primary work device. I still used my Windows mobile phone most of the time though (off of work), as it was nice not to be attending to work email all the time.

Jeeze, I leave for a couple of years and its the same old faces...

On topic, I had a blackberry at work, then they bought me an iPhone, which is spiffy even if Mac sucks.

Have you unlocked it, aka made it useful?

Upgraded to a Sprint Mogul (HTC TyTN or some shit, I hate their model naming scheme) and I can't live without a hard keyboard. Too bad HTC loves making crappy devices that run slower than my A620 from 6 years ago.

Dan, what tools did you use to develop for the Blackberry? I've been contemplating expanding my development knowledge to that platform, but I don't know much about the available tools.

The Blackberry JDE. Everything about the Blackberry is java. You also have to install the official Java SDK first. It's all free. The biggest pain IMO is that the time to copy an executable to the emulator is quite long. The emulator has to restart each time. Copying to the device isn't much better, because roughly every other time it resets the device.
