"LOVE IT!! Great Screen, Great Email, Great All Around!"

by SRAYDEN on October 17, 2006

Pros: Email, Screen, Keypad, Messaging, Phone Quality

Cons: Nothing bugs me yet!
Summary: I've had my blackberry 8703e for two days now and am loving it. I had the motoroloa Q but just wasn't liking it. Email was bad and the OS was buggy. I'm a first time blackberry user and I'm now a HUGE fan!!!

I now know first hand why so many people love blackberry's. They are VERY stable, the best phone on the market for email, the calender system functions great, The screen on this phone is AMAZING, the internet was lightning fast (much faster then my old Q). But best of all the phone quality on this is just wonderful! Like I said earlier I had the Motorola Q and the phone quality I thought was pretty good. When I switched to my blackberry 8703e I was amazed on how much better it sounded. Very clear both talking and listening. The reception was also great. I was in a parking garage yesterday that I used to get cut off with all the time and had no problems with my blackberry.

Though the phone doesn't have many multimedia capabilities this wasn't really something I need. I'm 29 and love tech stuff. I love being on the cutting edge. I thought getting a phone with the new Windows operating system, a phone that had video and a camera and bla bla bla was the cool thing to do...But when I thought about my phone usage over the past 6 months, I never took a picture or watched a video. I never used my phone as my MP3 player ( I love my ipod : ) so needing a phone with all these bells and whistles really wasn't a need of mine.

My main needs were a great phone, Great email, Great texting, great calender, Great internet connection, and a stable OS. The blackberry met all these needs and more!

Overall I'm a HUGE fan of this phone. I'm a first time blackberry user so I can't compare it to other phones but right now I'm SOOO happy with this purchase.

I would have given this phone a 10 but I still think we are 1 to 2 years away from having phones in the market that are true 10's!
