Overall
Windows Mobile 6 is widely regarded as an incremental upgrade to Microsoft's Mobile 5 operating system and it makes a big difference in terms of ease of use and convenience. Microsoft has also made great strides improving the overall messaging experience, although Exchange 2007 users reap the most benefits.
BlackBerry has also evolved, especially on the multimedia front, but ultimately we prefer it over Windows Mobile because it doesn't feel like it's trying to do so much. The OS is snappier at opening and closing applications and surfing the Web, and it has lots of helpful shortcuts to make already intuitive software even more useful.
Windows Mobile can do more, and there are a lot more devices to choose from that support the OS. But like the marriage of software and hardware that made the iPod a smash hit, BlackBerry's OS and devices feel right because the two are in almost perfect harmony.
