Sidekick 2 or another Blackberry?
 
Here's my problem: I want a device for personal email while on the road. I've already got my company issued Blackberry 7230 and would like to have something separate that I could use for my personal emails. So, I'm torn - the Blackberry 7230 looks cool but I'm not sold on the device since it's got that micro keyboard (and I'd look even dorkier with two Blackberry's on my hip) or the Sidekick 2, even after the Paris Hilton drama. Both give me mediocre feelings.

Is there anything I have missed gadget-wise?

This might not be what you had in mind, but maybe:
Sony Ericsson P910i
Nokia 9300 Communicator
Nokia 9500 Communicator

Anything larger than the Nokias...might as well get an IBM Thinkpad X40.

None of those devices are really any good for personal (PUSH) email. Even though the P910i has a BlackberryConnect client it isn't usable on US networks.

Quite frankly, you might want to play with a Sidekick II. It is a fun device, and is now also available on Tmobile2go (prepaid).
