touch screen & keyboard... and OS7

seems nice in the hand, and the keyboard is a big bonus

I think you will find Blackberry a huge disappointment after both Android and iOS.

It is very good at email and "okay" at most other things.

Only a fool or a chav pays for a Blackberry, why put on your own corporate handcuffs?

Hate to say it, but at this point, I will not go back to Blackberry. So far behind everyone else.

It's a two horse race, the blackberry donkey can't keep up.

Android is the choice of sheep now, more people have android than iOS.

Wife has a curve and it is a steaming dog poo of a phone. I hate every single way it goes about it's business.

I'm using an Android phone and compared to the wifes curve it's like HAL9000 Vs a Spektrum.

Even Symbian kicks the crap out of Blackberry. I had a play with the new Nokia Winows Phone, not iOS but much nicer than Android.

Let me guess this Blackberry goes 17 weeks between charges with all functions on and brightness on max with wifi constantly used?

If you don't hold it like you're requesting Scotty to beam you up you just haven't arrived!

Battery life and Email integration, nothing touches them, everything else they are pap and feel like they are from 2001.

My 9700 feels dated as a Smart phone imo but its still better than anything I've used previously for calls and texts.....and yes the battery life is awesome!

I just wish it had a bit more RAM onboard.

Should have got a 9900 lol

On my normal unbiased note though, its all about what suits you best. Want 6,000,000 apps to wipe your bum and make fart noises, dont get a BB

Which is why i'm going to give the Blackberry a try..

As i said, ive got a palm treo, if it had wifi and bluetooth, i'd be using that without a shadow of a doubt... ok its a capacitive touch screen, but it was way ahead of its time...

Even to the point that the i brigade copied one of its innovative features!!!
