Roger, one important thing the BC can do which the milestone can't is read scanned text as synthesised speech. In the milestone's favour, it's arguably more intuitive to use as a memo recorder, is smaller and handier than a courier and doesn't require transfer software to get stuff in to it from a PC. However, having said all that if someone told me that I could keep only one of the two, I'd have absolutely no hesitation in picking the courier. Finally, although it's marginally more expensive, it's better value for money I'd say. Hope this helps. Cheers now.

I posted saying that the feeling on this list is the BC is the better buy and has more features. I'm now being asked if someone on this list would put a few points together to give reasons as to why that belief is held. Roger Man is the only animal that blushes, or needs to.
