It's interesting. My phone MUST have email functionality. Email is the primary way my clients communicate with me, and I can't lug around an open, connected laptop 24/7 just to read and answer email. Occasionally I'll need to make a phone call in response to an email, and the Blackberry simply excels at that. I'm trying to use it as an ebook reader, too, with mixed feelings. It does great for GPS mapping, IM, alarm clock, and general memo pad functions, keeping certain informational tidbits close at hand.
All other computing (Office apps, coding, Captivate video/audio recording, web, and to some extent music playback) is just that: computing, and I do it with a computer.
For me, the ideal dedicated device isn't the phone, its the ebook reader. A phone/PDA doesn't quite work for me, and neither does a backlit computer screen.
