"BlackBerry sucks!"
Pros: Bluetooth, QWERTY
Cons: no Voice Activated Dialing, Service Price
Summary: Don't buy this phone! Unless you want to shell out big bucks every month. Most Nextel phones allow you to add a data service plan for as little as 9.99 a month to access IM, Text Messaging, Address Book, Web Service, and Multimedia Messaging. The BlackBerry, however, REQUIRES that you purchase a "BlackBerry Email and Web Plan" for at least 39.99. This gives you 3MB of e-mail service, web access, and 200 inbound text messages. That's it! If you want to send SMS or IM you have to pay the 9.99 on top of that. All this in addition to your voice rate plan! Of course they don't tell you all this. In fact, you can purchase a BlackBerry with a service plan that does not include the BlackBerry package online or through any of the 15 Nextel Representatives I talked to who simply didn't know this or flat out discounted it. Then, when corporate sees a BlackBerry without this service, they "correct the error" and add the package for a nice little surprise on your next bill. Plus the Bluetooth doesn't support data, only headsets. And, who makes a phone with bluetooth headset capability without Voice Activated Dialing. I mean, if my phone is in another room, I want to be able to make a call as well as receive it. You won't even know who's calling either, because you can't download ringtones into the techno mess! More errors than any marketed product should be allowed to have by law!

It's obvious you don't need and can't afford a Blackberry. Get a RAZR phone and be happy with playing mp3's and taking pictures. To say a Blackberry sucks is just showing how immature you are.

You are wrong about making a comment about ringtones. You can download them/buy them at a considerable price. And you are right.. this phone is not for everybody. why do you think they have so many models and functions? I guess it all boils down to .. if you can afford it then go ahead and get this device.. otherwise stick to the others that already has that function already integrated.
Just learn to search through 3rd party software vendors before you say it doesn't support, because it would suck to know that you say "Blackberry sucks" .. and only to find out by us users of this device.. that is it the commentator who S**KS co'z he doesn't know better
