Default PDA Cell Phone Comparison Help!

Hey guys I know a bunch of you on here have these types of phones. I know a few have the BB Curve and such but I can't get that one offered through Sprint so I'm really at a crossroads here on these damn phones I think both of these would do the job but I guess I'm also looking for efficiency too. Read my situation below that I copy and pasted from a thread in OT.

I'm the head in the Internet Sales Dept. of a Toyota Dealer. I receive a ton of emails on at least 3 work emails, one through an online based total dealership customer database that I receive emails at. It's a secure sight but as long as you know the user/pass it's just like a normal website, the other email is on another online website server which are emails that come from the dealership website, the other is a hotmail acct for our ebay sales. They are all password protected but easily accessible online.

I want to have these all forwarded to the phone since I'm not always in front of the computer and I'm not always at the office, but still need to forward on emails to different salespeople as well as the used car lot when I'm not there. I do receive alot of emails so I need a phone that will hold up and have the space and speed to handle it

I was able to look at both of these phones tonight in person at the sprint store but the regular Q on display wasn't charging right so it wouldnt' come all the way one I did like the navigation of the BB with the trackball. I wish I could have navigated the Q to see what all it has and how easy to navigate.

Thanks again for reading. I'm really torn on what to go for since they are the same price. The BB I think is the one that will be able to handle the job. I guess I'm wondering how and if the Q can do it. Since the Q does have some cool features on it too

....oh and I don't mean being able to get on the web on the phone, to check emails. I need them forwarded directly to the phone from the sites, which I know I can set up the emails to forward to the phone

I have never had a problem with my BB in the 4-almost 5 years I have had it.

If you decide to go with the Q. Just remember, you are running windows.

Windows is much easier then the blackberry interface for transferring files. Much more straight forward. I had my Blackberry for 2 weeks after running my blackjack for 8 months, I hated it. Windows is much more organized IMO

My neighbor uses the q9c and likes it, It is a much cleaner display as well....
