Customer Review

Time to upgrade, June 27, 2007

It was time to put my old BB to rest. I was not sure I could part with an old familiar friend. However within a week of owning this fashionable, light weight, highly sophisticated media system I fell in love. For me that is a statement in itself. I am not an early adopter. I do not follow the latest in cool toys. My primary use is corporate email and a messaging platform as I am on the road year round. Unlike most of the reviews you will read I have little to no interest in explaining all the reasons why I love the 2.5-inch TFT display with 320 x 240-pixel resolution or the 2.0 Mega pixel camera with flash and 5x digital zoom. I am not even sure I know what that means as the end user. What I do feel is relevant to shoppers like myself is the following:

*The piece fits nicely in your hand and is light light light.
*The trackball is easy to use and surprisingly quick to adapt to.
*I really appreciate the integrated spell checker with user-customizable dictionary.
*The organization tools are a must have when you are busy and on the run. Capabilities, including calendar, tasks, address book, and memo pad are easy to use and great to have.
*The clarity of this phone finally makes me feel like the BB is more then an email tool. I can actually hear people talking. The Noise-cancellation technology to offset background noise must really work.
*The camera is a bonus.

Fantastic buy! No complaints.
