yes! in fact,i'm using a blackberry pearl, which is a pda phone. it's small and looks like an ordinary phone, very slick.
the only con about using a blackberry is that if you want to avail of the blackberry service, you have to pay extra on top of your monthly plan. but, if your wife's company has a company-provided blackberry service, then no problem. in this regard, it probably wouldn't make sense to get a blackberry phone without availing of the blackberry service. for the price of the unit, you could probably a non-blackberry phone with even better connectivity features (wifi, 36, hsdpa).
btw, there is now yahoo messenger and google talk for blackberry, which your wife can install and show off to her friends while she's in starbucks![]()
it's one of the most nakaka-aliw features of the bb pearl for me.
as for non-blackberry pdas, i highly recommend the treo 650, which is what i've been using the past year or so. you can probably get the treo 680 (a minor upgrade to the 650) for a lower price than getting a brand new 650.
