However, I'm tied to our company having a BES and therefore need something that would be compatible with that to replace my crackberry.

What's the best option out there? My preferences would be to run windows mobile, GPS and bluetooth, along with a QWERTY keyboard...the co I work for is also tied to vodafone in the UK if that makes any difference?!

Any advice welcome !

Thanks,

There are Blackberry connect packages for Windows Mobile, problem is they are not "officially" supported on most operators. I've installed one and had it working fairly well. There is also a Connect client for Symbian that is pretty decent. Getting GPS is easier through Bluetooth as not many devices have that integrated. Check out the Nokia N61 as well...
