They're nothing special, but perfect for the things which you've said above.
Anything which you don't get on the BlackBerry, you'd be able to get on the iPod/iPad.
I have seen a couple of them - mates have had them (I've had work ones) and I haven't been impressed.
Unless they have stepped up a gear, I wouldn't touch them.
The only thing I liked was the qwerty keyboard.
