I'm going for the iPhone if I can find one. But I do like the looks of the Ocean and Mogul. I believe the Ocean is also a closed system. And the Sprint Mogul is WM6, which lets you install apps and is pretty customizable.

I don't get it. BlackBerry is a closed system and managers scramble over each other to get one. Apple gets all the bad press, though.

Yeah Blackberry is a (semi) closed system, but it does Exchange, which is good for corporate types.

I'm not sure about the Helio carrier. It seems like it's leasing others' network and a fairly new company.

Depends on your needs. I suppose you should choose one on features not on looks but that's me 
I use a blackberry and I can see why people want it (in a corporate setting). I'm easily able to keep in touch and quickly (and easily) communicate with my co-workers. I think only recently smart phones had the push email feature, before hand you needed to sync the pda/smartphone to your computer to get emails. BB was the first to give you emails.
I'm not familiar with any of those phones, but you'll also need to consider costs of the phone and plan, you may be surprised at how much it will run you per month and that may effect your decision too.

Helio is an MVNO (buying airtime on another company's network) which is fine, nothing bad about that.
It's founded by the founder of Earthlink, so the notion is that Helio is going to be more hep to trying to get internet and IP related tasks / apps on the handset.

Helio is absolutely awesome. Their customer service is off-the-charts excellent. Period.
Highly recommended.

That's what I mean, I only hear great things about all three of these phones. But I think I'm settling on the iPhone because of screen size and usability. Money is not an option at this point.

I'd never even heard of the Mogul before reading this thread. So that's my pick for the loser.
