I realized this weekend that I rarely take the action to look at my calendar on the iPhone and Sunday night have no clue what is in store for me Monday morning.

My Blackberry was dropped several times, at least once hard enough to have the back pop off and the battery fly out, and I can't imagine the iTouch surviving that. I miss push email, a longer battery life and a keyboard on which I can touch-type, but the user experience on the iTouch is just so nice that it makes up for that. I also use NeuvaSync, although had some problems on the weekend and had to disable it (luckily, iTunes support syncing directly from Outlook to the iTouch) but will be putting it back soon since I miss the over-the-air sync.
