    Pros: This phone is super light, which is a plus because I can't stand bulky phones.
    Excellent feel of the phone, feels like a built on case.
    THE TRACKPAD IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE TRACKBALL

    Cons: No Memory Card unlike other Blackberry's
    Battery life is a little shorter than Curve 8330
    No flash on the camera

    Summary: This phone is a must have for a entry level blackberry user or for someone who doesn't need the "global" capabilities of the Tour and don't want the touch screen feel of the Storm 1 or 2. I have been a hardcore Blackberry user for 4 years now, having used everything from the original 7250, to the Pearl, to the new Curve 8530. While it doesn't come with a flash for the camera, the resolution is amazing and is one of the best that I have had. I like the feel of the phone, it feels rugged on the outside like it has a built on case. The trackpad is an excellent addition and I think will absolutely change the future of Blackberry phones and do away with that damn track ball. Screen resoluation is rich and wonderful and teh addition of WiFi is excellent, I love the facy that I can talk on the phone and still search the web/answer emails (I think someone should let Luke Wilson know that his AT&T commericals are wrong...you can talk and surf the web with Verizon). The keyboard has strong raised keys that click when you press them so there is no question about whether you hit the key or not. Over all, I am extremely satisfied with this phone and am not disappointed. Recommend it to anyone not wanting the Tour or Storm.
