For those of you who use PDAs and phones with keyboards.. what are the choices around?

1) Treo (are all the keyboards the same or some better than others?)
2) Nokia E61 - seems to be the winning keyboard right now
3) Blackberry (are all the keyboards the same or are some better than others?)
4) Sony 990i (horrible keyboard)

Anything else that I am missing out on?

I've got a motoming. It comes with a stylus pen and touch screen keypad.

Unfortunately I know i'll loose the stylus or break the screen while stabbing at it.

Dopod...it is all about the Dopod's

Monde : looked at them .. but I could not bear to deal with a Microsoft phone. My experience with Windows Mobile has been *bad* with earlier O2s and I've scars to prove.

LOL......Yeah my Dopod does hang every now and then....needs a reboot.

KiA, If I were you I'd wait for the new Nokia E90 communicator.

Loaded with HSDPA, WiFi, 3G, EDGE and everything else but the kitchen sink!

Now THAT is something to drool over......

The current Treos available here are 650, 680 and 750. They are all almost identical.
The Nokia E61's form factor is very much wide-boy and the key spacing is rather generous.
I would stick with the traditional keyboard-equipped Blackberries over the SureType models with fewer keys.
The Sony 990i's keyboard is very dire indeed requiring finger nails rather than fingers.

Haven't you bought your pda/smartphone yet?

Discobay : kept putting it off... getting all caught up this week. I really liked the Blackberry keyboards .. have a problem though if it will let me check 10+ IMAP accounts. I don't want to use the blackberry email.
