Pros / positive features / Advantages:

  1. Full Qwerty keyboard
  2. Easy navigation from one program to the other.
  3. Its Size, not too small, not too big.
  4. Voice recognition, it recognizes the voice command for most of the programs you want to use.
  5. Its camera, better than average quality, its flash is very bright and allows for a decent photo in low light
  6. Surfing on the Web is good as it has a great browser, it displays full internet pages and you can switch from mobile style to Desktop style with a mouse cursor
  7. Spell-Check option, a great feature missing from most of the mobiles. It’s also really easy to use. I get a prompt before I send an email asking me to approve typo errors.
  8. The multimedia software is excellent; both on the device and on the desktop. You can watch movies, listen to MP3s and check out photos on handset.
  9. Full Screen view finder is a nice plus. There is even a little mirror on the back for self portraits.
  10. 3.5mm built in Stereo/Audio Jack.

Cons / Negative features / Disadvantages:

  1. Doesn’t record videos
  2. No 3G or Wi-Fi
  3. Monthly fees are associated with navigation software. The GPS does work great with BlackBerry Maps and Google Maps for location.
  4. Memory card is located under the battery so every time you need to take out the memory car you need to take out the battery as well.
  5. No playlist support for the music software.
  6. The ringer volumes has only 3 levels to choose from, low-medium-high. High is quite loud but the low isn’t really that low at all. It’s still kind of loud in my opinion.
  7. Trackball sensitivity, although you can adjust it from really sensitive to less sensitive but it only increases and decreases the speed of making selection.
  8. Included headset is extremely uncomfortable in my ears, the ear pieces are huge!
  9. They barely fit in my ears.

Conclusion / over all review:

It’s a great phone; it creates links to my favorite websites and put them on my menu screen. Google, Weather Channel, CNN, MapQuest, Fox News, Facebook are all now easily accessible for me from wherever I need.
On the other hand it has great camera as it produces clear pictures and even has a flash, which is fantastic. There is a tiny mirror on the back, so you can take pictures of yourself. There is no video recording option, which is a bit of a negative aspect to the phone. The BlackBerry has been a great phone for me and my lifestyle. As a college student getting ready to enter the professional world it has been extremely useful to me. I love it.
