Nokia E72 vs. Blackberry Bold

I've tried many phones - the Xperia, various HTC devices, the N95, etc. I'm sick of unnecessarily highend complicated phones that sacrifice functionality for goodies, so I've narrowed down what I want in my phone to a handful of "necessities", ordered by how important they are:
1) Pure functionality - smooth, quick transitions between whatever I'm doing on the phone, quick startup, ease of use, etc.
2) A full keyboard and quick messenger - the keyboard has to be ergonomic and good for speedy typing.
3) Some sort of semi-usable music player - I don't have an iPod, I want to just throw in my memory card and start playing my music in a semi-attractive interface.
4) A speedy camera. None of that "waiting for it to snap" crap, it has to produce at least bearable pictures (3.2 mp or up)
5) Something that displays appointments on the homescreen or in my calender (not sure if the BB does this).
6) Wifi and a basic browser. Limited to email functionality mostly. No 3G.
With these things in mind, what is better, the E72 or the BBB?
Sorry for being so convoluted.
 
It honestly sounds like the E72 is your device.

1) Pure funtionality - E72, especially when it comes to quick startup, blackberrys are notorious for taking forever to start up.

2) Keyboard - No keyboard touches The E series keyboards & E72 does have a bit of a fault but it definitely takes the cake, once you get used to it you'll be flying through messages.

3) Music player on the E72 is bearable, nothing special about it.. does the job.

4) Camera - Excellent camera for a business phone.

5) Yes, the E72 displays appointments on the home screen.

6) Yes & Yes it has a browser & wifi.
 
I prefer the keyboard of the Blackberry's, and their email is second to none. Nokias have the nice homescreen, but I HATE the offcenter keyboard.
 
Hey, just got an E72, but it's not displaying appointments on the home screen. I mean, it is, but only from today, not anything in advance. Am I missing something, or can the E72 only display appointments from today?
