With the possible shutdown of the Blackberry service, Blackberry users need to consider their options when it comes to receiving their email while on the road.

While a Blackberry is a great device, I still think wireless enabled Palm or Pocket PC based PDAs are usually a better choice over a Blackberry because of the options and features that PDAs offer. Yeah, I know there's some hardcore Blackberry users cursing me right now.

The key to using a PDA as a Blackberry replacement is finding the right email client or service for your PDA. We've got a listing of the top PDA clients for both Palm and Pocket PC, so be sure to check out:

Top Palm Email Clients

Top Pocket PC Email Clients

While these services may not offer the exact same experience as a "push" mail service like Blackberry, with a little fine-tuning of an email client (like automatic email retrieval, etc,) that meets your needs, you can have a good email experience on a wireless enabled PDA or Smartphone.
