Trying to decide between Qwerty devices

I have always liked smaller phones (6230b, now 6131), but I am more willing now to add some size for features like a qwerty keyboard.

I am stuck between the blackjack, nokia e62, treo 750, and maybe a blackberry. I prefer windows mobile os, but I am willing to try others. Nokia phones have served me well and I am with Cingular.

For some of you guys who have owned several of these, can you comment on the size and feel of them. I would prefer smaller, because I usually carry my phone in front pants pocket. I will list what I believe to be the main pro and con for each device above. You guys tell me what you think.

blackjack
small size, poor battery life

nokia e62
responsive os/great browser, large footprint

treo 750
best one-handed operation out of the box, too thick

blackberry
best email, limited os

From all my searching, these are things that seem to pop up the most about each device, but you may see it different. I would like to hear your opinion.
 
I would recommend the 8525, I know you probably think it is too big, but it really isn't that big. It has the exact same dimensions as the treo, and once you realize how much more you use a qwerty phone, you will be happy to trade the size for the added usefulness, I keep my 8525 in my front pocket, and it works just fine.
