I really like my Blackberry Bold (5th Blackberry in 7 years), and find it does a very good job of rendering web sites, although Lynda's iPhone (3g) does it better overall. Her iPhone can use LogMeIn Reach to manage LogMeIn enabled PCs, at least technically. I could not begin to imagine what it is like having to pan left & right, and scroll up and down, with the iPhone screen to control a host machine running at 1920 x 1200 <g>. For such cases even a netbook would not really suffice, therefore I am going to have to have a decent laptop pretty much for as long as I remain active in this industry. But, for general use with eMail and some browsing once in a while, I find the Blackberry invaluable. I like the iPhone also, but the BB suits me better for my purposes. I have a client/friend who could not decide between BB or iPhone, so he has both! The BB he says is better for texting (I do not text) and eMail, but the iPhone has the Wow! Factor.
I can say I take the laptop far fewer places for local meetings, as I find the BB eMail has helped me tame the cord, so to say. If I were not a techie with clients I have to connect to remotely once in a while the BB would allow me to live laptop-free.
