I also did the Palms to Blackberry jump, then wandered around in the wildness trying different things that mostly failed (didn't you have a Simon too? that was such an embarassing product!) flipping between phone camps and having a separate PDA at times. 

Eventually I dragged out my old Filofax purchased in the early '80s, and that is where my "permanent collection" of contact information lives, with my working collection synced between smartphone and devices.  Dual-entry kludge, but it works.
