Thinking about getting a Blackberry?

I do the back office work for a small company and work out of my home for a friend of mine. Recently we agreed that I would start to do the marketing and appointment scheduling for him so that he can focus on the actual work/labor of the business. He wanted me to look at phones and I saw our provider has a free Blackberry. So, I was wondering if other Blackberry addicts think its worth having for a small business to coordinate someones agenda, keeping up with client scheduling and e-mails. I've seen how addictive they are, I can hardly get away from my laptop. Is it worth the money to have one for a small business who is growing?? Would you let your personal assistant have one to keep organized for your business????

Update:

Would you recommend it vs a cell phone and PDA???

    yes!! blackberry is the right choice, if your primary requirement is to email, organize (schedule and appointment), Address book and notes.....

    it is definately worth the money becaisr of the immediacy and efficiency that it ads to your work life. imagine if you were to save 1usd per email for the benifit of immediacy; ibet you would recover the cost in six months....

    PDA are good for business and fun both but not as focussed on business as blackberry... and blackberry is far more stable system than any PDA in the world today.....

    look at the off side of blackberry, No MMS. Music or Mp3 ...

    the best when it comes to email on the go...

    giveit a try and mostly you would be another balckberry Addict

    in my opinion that is more effective than likely not worth it! Blackberry is often suitable for organisation human beings, yet for everyone else, that is in basic terms quite functional function is BBM and that is in basic terms good in case you communicate over with those who own Blackberries (is that the nicely perfect plural?) a lot. I were given a Blackberry about 2 years in the past, yet interior of seven or 8 months it grew to change into quite sluggish, and the button contained in the midsection became very unreliable. I even chosen to apply a buddy's old iPhone 3G over between the hot fashions of Blackberry even as given the alternative. desire i helped! :D

    I think the blackberry is a wonderful device. the phone is perfect for organizing and on the go e-mail and text. The only draw back is the size of that thing. however the new blackberry-purl is a much smaller version, that does almost every thing that the bigger, older models do plus it has a camera and supports many audio files.
