My 2 cents, for whatever it's worth to the OP:
I love my Blackberry. I don't use it for appointments, but I use it
heavily for email and notifications, and web. Sure it doesn't even
think about doing Flash or videos. But, as a productivity device, it's
awesome. I am very happy.
I have had Palm devices, never a Palm phone like Treo. I like the
Palms I had, but my dad had aTreo and was very unhappy with it. He
said he coudln't see anything, couldn't dial it outdoors, etc.
The things I like about my Blackberry are all tiny little interface
things... it just seems to know what I want to do. For example, in an
email, if there is a phone number with an extgension number, whn I am
anywhere in the email I can just hit the trackball and it will ask if
I want to call that number (with the yes highlighted just push the
trackball again). Once it is connected, it will ask me if I want to
dial the extension (agian, yes is highlighted, just push the
trackball). I can put it on speaker and surf the web while on the
phone, and when I am all done with the call or go back to email for
that account (whch it can IMAP upto 10 email addresses), that email is
still open right where it was before I went on the tangent.
Productivity is your thing... then so is a Blackberry.

It's my first!
If you can wait a month or two and want a Linux powered device the
second generation Openmoko platform named FreeRunner should be out
around April.
Otherwise I'm really not sure what I would recommend. The Palm based
smartphones don't seem to be where it's at anymore. I've had Palm
devices for years including a few Treo's and they just aren't keeping
up. I guess I would look at Blackberry. WinCE is right out for obvious
reasons.
