What do you guys think?

I'm not interested in the internet access or e-mail capabilities but I badly need a phone that has good software for personal productivity and document management. I work full time and go to college full time so I need to stay organized. Also to be able to view word documents would be great, so I can read my typed up notes while im on the bus.

thanks guys,
the reason i was looking at the BB was because of the software that is availiable through 3rd party (e.g. handango.com). They offer a lot more than for the Q. Also I've heard good things about the BB OS and how nice it is to use. On the other hand I've heard mixed reviews on the windows mobile.

But right now I am leaning towards the Q anyway.

Thanks again.
