PIN messneger is quite useful and free, but she almost certainly want a
blackberry so she can install the facebook application.

That is your employer enforcing company policy.

I have a "work" 8900 and there are issues: -

1. Even on wi-fi it tops out at ~100kbps, whereas my personal Nokia runds at
Mbps over wi-fi or 3G. (no 3G on 8900 or 8520).

2. It can't deal with native PDF's, and the downloaded pages are low
resolution.
(Nokia handles them well).

3. GPS first fix is abysmally slow and you are network dependent for maps.
Nokia fixes from cold in 30s and uses on board maps you can download for
free (supports Google maps too). (no GPS on 8520)
