The company will pay for it but I have to pick one out, no idea of what to look for.

There are several brands, I have no idea what to look for.

Help please.:shrug:

1. Ummm

Blackberry is a brand. They have several models. If you want the one that is most like a normal cell phone get the pearl. If you have to email a lot you probably want the full keyboard on their other models like the curve.

3. I have a red Pearl, and my husband has a Curve

We both have the email and Internet service, which ROCKS. I am able to get my business email on my Pearl, and Mr. DTBK's company uses Novell Groupwise, so he had to sign up for the Enterprise server and pay a one-time $75 fee to have it configured. Your company should pay this if you have to do it.

If you like the full keyboard, yes, get the Curve. The Pearl has a rather unusual keyboard which takes some getting used to. We both love our phones - my Pearl is the best phone I've ever had.

Feel free to PM if you have more questions.

5. there are also several other makers

who can use the blackberry push service. I use a Nokia E62 and subscribe to the Blackberry Connect service through AT&T. find a service that works where you are, and see what they have to offer.
