"Awesome email and productivity capabilities!"
Pros: Track-ball navigation, applications, and globral capability.
Cons: Blackberry desktop manager software & Vista
Summary: Until I purchased the Blackberry 8830 I used the Samsung A900. Wow! What an improvement in productivity and email functionality! The push-email is feature is truly impressive. I don't mind the absence of a camera since I don't use my phone for serious photo taking anyway. The only real gripe I have about the phone is the Blackberry Desktop Manager software. I spent 2 1/2 hours with a Sprint representative installing and uninstalling various versions of the software to no avail. On the last attempt (which I did by myself) I chose the "ignore" option on the error message I received and the application finished loading. Surprisingly, the software then worked fine with Windows Vista Business. My 8830 now synchronizes perfectly with my MS Outlook 2007. Once I breeched this obstacle my experience has been wonderful with this device. I recommend the Blackberry 8830 just be sure to use the Blackberry Desktop Manager SP1 as this is the version compatible with Vista
