Best phone/pocket PC Cingular 8125/Blackberry/HP iPAQ?

I really want a Windows Mobile based unit but I'm open to suggestions.

Email is the top priority and the ability to sync with MS Outlook.

Thanks,

Blackberry 8700 is currently the best device as far as functionality that you can purchase from Cingular currently. The older HP ipaq was terrible, the new one will not launch for up to several months. the 8125 was an enjoyable phone, but it is not designed for one handed usage, and the email solutions are not up to blackberry standard. If you don't plan on typing on your blackberry, the blackberry 7130 would also serve you quite well. and if you can afford to wait a couple of months, tmobiles exclusive on the blackberry 8100 (pearl) ends around christmas, and we are supposed to be carrying it by then. i've heard good things about it.

i'm glad you left treos completely out of it.

i love my work blackberry. it doesnt look cool but its functionality is awesome. a word of advice: any blackberry you get make sure its not one of those 3 letters on 1 button models. everyone in my company who got one hated them and downgraded back.

I have the Cingular 8125. I like it a lot. The only problem I have with it is the processor speed. It can get a little slow if you're switching between applications and doing a lot of stuff at once.

I love the slideout keyboard though.

If your hooking into a corp email account , then the new Blackberry Pearl is pretty hot. also someone mentioned an 8700 I have one of those as well I love it.
The pearl is more "phone" like vs an 8700 which is more "Berry" like
