The broadband that is bundled with a crackberry have been very good, excluding Sundays in Italy[1].
If the tools to duplicate RIM's Windows/MAC offerings for desktop connectivity progress to full
useability a Blackberry with data service, ~$30 a month per line, from Verizon would be viable.

[1] For some reason bandwidth and connectivity would become very unreliable in Italy mid-morning 
on Sunday.  Late Sunday night service would be restored to the normal fine feed.
