for business gotta be Blackberry!

easy to use, just like have a tiny laptop in your pocket

Well the big nono with the Blackberry is that it does not do Wifi. Whether I'll be at home or at clients, I will most of the time have a free Wifi network available to use.

Thanks for the N97 hint Paul, will google for it and might wait a few weeks more if it does what I need it to do

Well, 3G is not Wifi
3G is great when on the train or in a taxi, but when in an actual office and when not using a desktop, Wifi will make a big difference

Also I can't even make a phone call on my mobile at home, let alone browsing the Internet

There is a mobile Gmail client, java based, that I run on my HTC device. It doesn't have calendar functionality but you can reach the Google calendar in a browser. The latest HTC HD has a very good screen and a full keyboard. For developing I think that's where it has an advantage over an iPhone, a full qwerty keyboard. Along with Wifi, HSDPA, GPS (works fine with google maps but it's not a satnav replacement) it's the full spec.

It sure does - we have Blackberrys at work and they automatically connect to ur wifi network here, (or mone at home, or the at the airport) prior to using the mobile phone network.

Unless there is no wi-fi nearby, then they go straight to the phone network.

Or you could wait for one of these:
