Blackberries in general: good, if a little boring compared to some other smartphones. Check with your employer to verify that they support them.
Blackberry Storm in particular: not so good. Reviews have been mixed. The Bold would probably be a better choice, but unfortunately it's currently available only from AT&T.
Wireless broadband is a wonderful thing. I've been using Verizon's version for almost three years. Verizon, Sprint and AT&T all offer comparable performance and pricing, with T-Mobile about to offer a similar product. Verizon's coverage is probably better. Be careful about which modem you purchase... they come in PCMCIA, Expresscard, and USB flavors, so you'll want to choose one based on the computer (or several computers) that you'll be using it with. USB would be an ideal choice for multiple PCs, but the devices stick out a lot... be sure that your laptop is designed in a way that prevents a USB device from getting in the way of comfortable typing.
