Just starting out the Droid was the best choice for me since I didn’t need support for legacy software from Microthingy and the Droid is IMO a more well rounded product that is only going to improve with time.
However, given your needs it’s very likely a Blackberry will better fit them especially if you are wed to your present PC software. Also AFAIK the Blackberry is able to be made more secure, at least for now, which is the reason the Air Force uses them exclusively.

My company is cell phone un-friendly. About a year ago, a memo went around saying if upper management even sees a cell phone on your belt that you will be dismissed, without pay, for the day. So far, I've been pressing my luck.

Similar issues here in that cell phones are not allowed on the flightline. I just turn off the ringer and keep it in my pocket. Also have some rooms I really can’t take it in but there are places available to store them in those cases.

+1 for BB. I have a Bold 9700 and my wife has a Curve (8530?) Love the Bold. Hate the Curve. Half the battery life of mine. Keyboard isn't as nice to use. And it has lower screen resolution.

I love my Droid. Hated my BlackBerry. I know others here at work syncing their Droid to Exchange email with no problems. If you get a BB, get a nice one. I had the basic 8310 which was slow, had no apps really for when I wasn't "working"... As soon as I was given the option to drop the BB I did and got a smart phone that works for business as well as fun.

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.
