Sprint PCS Business Connection?

I have a Palm V that I am quite satisfied with. I now find myself in a
position where I need ready access to my email when I am out of the office.

My firm supports Blackberry devices and many colleagues are very pleased
with having their corporate email pushed to them. We use an exchange server
with Outlook as our email client.

In addition, I have a very active POP3 email account.

My goal is to retain the flexibility of the Palm while gaining access to
both my corporate and POP3 email. I could get a Blackberry and carry both
devices. I'd prefer to have a single Palm OS device.

Is what I'm trying to achieve possible at the moment. Would a Tungsten W
with some add on software do the trick? Visto MessageXpress looks like a
step in the right direction, the only problem is that that product doesn't
seem to gracefully support both corporate email and POP3 email at the same
time. My sense is that you can choose one or the other, but not both.

I'm not sure if Versa Mail can be made to do what I want.

Sprint PCS Business Connection would handle the corporate side, but not the
POP3 stuff.

Can you help me disentangle this mess or should I give up and use two
devices?

Sprint PCS Business Connection allows you to add POP3 accounts easily.
Additionally, if you don't want to go that method you can set your Outlook
to check your POP3 account, in which case BC would check it as well. But
whether you do that or not you can easily add multiple POP3, IMAP, and other
accounts via the BC website.

That's perfect for BCPE.

BCPE can go there, too, via Outlook.

Ummm... why not one of our Palm phones, with EudoraMail to access your POP3
account directly, and BCPE to access Outlook via that service/software?
I've never tried VersaMail, but I've heard it's a very good email product.

I've heard the I330 is available at Best Buy for as little as $199. Or the
Samsung I500 due out next week (so I'm told. It *has* been released from
R&D).
