"Great PDA!"
Pros: Great color, easy to use, many options
Cons: No full keyboard, voice echo, random reboots
Summary: This was my first PDA phone, and I enjoyed it very much. It was great for sending text messages (SMS) and emails, and the calendar was easy to use and helpful. The menus are easy to navigate and the desktop is quick to manipulate to personal preference (hiding icons, etc). I was impressed with the speed and clarity for online sites and web browsing, and had very little errors in that regard. I also enjoyed the sync capabilities, which made it easy to update Microsoft Outlook and my Contacts list. I didn't like the echo I experienced sometimes while making Blackberry-Blackberry phone calls, and found the only way to avoid this was to use a Bluetooth. At times, the echo was so bad it would force me to end the call. There was also the occasional random reboot of the phone, but this happened so infrequently it wasn't a huge issue. The keyboard was nice, once you got used to it. 2 letters per key, and using SureType software made typing fast...but quirky. Sometimes the words SureType offered me were so far off from the word I intended, it was laughable. But the memory system adapts to your typing style and along with the fully-custom Word List, your ability to type fast and accurately is easy to get used to. This is a great PDA for people who are new to the world of Blackberry.
