Since your in a Verizon newsgroup; most, at least I am, a fan of verizon.
You can use most any type of email compliant phone, pda, or smartphone for
email. With this concern: (PS: since you asked this question in a dozen
forums, I'll reply to just the Verizon one)

1) If your company has an enterprise blackberry server and encryption, then
you are best to use a blackberry, and any carrier of your choosing that IT
says will be compatible
2) Otherwise: pick the device that is compatible; has buttons or graffiti
that you feel comfortable using; and think hard about the screen size and
does it have the ability (or do you need) to read attachments; and what
type. Then pick your device and carrier. dr
