Lasted me a good year before being dropped, i think it would have lasted longer if i wasnt so clumsy!
The phone has good features and an amazing camera, it is fast and reliable, never froze or had to take it to repairs until the day i smashed the internal screens :( I also had around 400 songs, 700 pictures and 50 videos, including several apps, and the battery life is incredible! I could last 2 days without charging, whilst playing my media and using the phone more than an average use, texting and using BBM a lot of the time :)
Yes, I recommend this product.

This phone was really helpful when i wanted to text or email quickly, it's keypad made it easier for me. I really disagree wit whoever said the would not even give it to their enemy or something like that. I really like how it hasn't broken on me once and the amounts of apps are just right (and more) If you are thinking about buying this. Don't think about it. BUY IT!!!

This phone is my life, i use it for absolutely everything! When i first got it (12 months ago) it was brilliant. It worked perfectly fine, moved quickly etc; Now, it rarely sends texts straight away, often freezes, takes forever to load!!! However, i still love it. I think it's a blackberry that tows the middle line, not ridiculously expensive, not rubbish and cheap either.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This phone is absolutely brilliant! it hasn't broken on me and it's easy to type on. it's fast and the camera is great! the only problem I have ever had is it freezing, which can easily be solved by a battery pull. my blackberry 8900 is a second hand one and it hasn't broken once! I would strongly recommend it!

when i first got it i absolutely loved it, i take that back, it's the worst phone i've ever owned (and i owned an alcatel)
not only do the buttons not work, its fell to pieces and feels as though it needs to crash and restart every 10 minutes.
i wouldnt even wish this phone on my worst enemy. the texting and calling are the only two features that work all the time. whats the point?!
No, I do not recommend this product.

Easily THE best phone I have ever had. I can't imagine being without it. Email, SMS are all instant, I find myself with coverage in areas where my friends don't. In the middle of the New Forrest I had a race with a friend with an I-phone and the browser on my Blackberry found the sites first every time. I love shopping and browsing online when bored and I can even book cinema tickets on the go. My laptop is seriously put out and slowly gathering dust. You don't need anything else out and about, the option to use wi-fi is genious if you are in a free wi-fi surf area, makes browsing (and tweeting) so much faster.
Honestly, once you go Blackberry you'll never go back!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I wanted a device to phone, text, email, take photos and browse the internet. this does them all with ease...
I have 4 mail accounts setup and it deals with them brilliantly, sends and receives in an instant, perfect.
Gps included too and works a treat.

This is a vast improvement on the Blackberry Storm which it replaced. Great for calls, texts & e-mails. The Wi-Fi is terrific and it has a good battery life. I've just managed to get the MP3 player working now that I've had a software upgrade and this is very pleasing. Keyboard can be a bit fiddly until you get used to it. Would certainly cosider getting another one at upgrade time.

after having an iphone 3gs last december i decided to get this fone last march on a contract because i really fancied a blackberry. it's an amazing fone very easy to use. e-mails sent straight to your fone+blackberry messenger. i just gave 3 stars for the features because i don't find the applications that helpful unlike what iphone's got. good battery life as well! all in all i'll give it a two thumbs up!

I never thought i could like a phone as much, i always said they were horrible looking phones, but once i played around with it i soon changed my mind i can do all that i need to do on this phone and more, my husband has had a few probs with various handsets and is about to receive this handset as a replacement, lets hope he is as impressed as i am!! its quite an old phone now but well worth still going for, would certainly recommend it.

I have had many phones now and my last phone was great, I thought I would have a job getting one to replace it.I work for myself and use it for keeping customer details, emails, and meetings. I need to send photos to people,(pictures are clear) surf the nett for items for work.
I never miss an email as it ring as soon as one comes in (no need to wait till I get home to check the computer.)
The key pad looks small but it is very easy to text with and I have big fingers.
I don't need pen & note book as it has a great voice recorder (over 1 hr record time) Well it does it all and more. Sat nav helps me at time,I can even kill time on face book while I'm waiting . GREAT ALL ROUND PHONE and I will have another one. Only down side is voice command does not always understand what you say but if you can live with that go for it. best phone I'v had.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have had this phone for 6 months now and whilst it is a good device in theory the reliability issues and GPS which just does not work means I am unable to recommend this handset.
Good:
- Great sharp screen with superb colours
- Trackball works well.
- Great qwerty keyboard. Quick to send text messages and make calls.
- Great camera
- Like the music player.
Bad:
- The speaker got a little wet and now I cannot hear anyone when making calls so I have to carry the headset with me.....very annoying. Only got a little wet in the rain, literally just a drop.
- Lack of touch screen.
- The GPS does NOT work.
- Facebook and Gmail apps do not work.
I have an iPod and it's user experience and applications is just superb. I wish Blackberry could match it. Will definitely be getting an iPhone next.
No, I do not recommend this product.

At first i hated it, but once i got used to it - I love it. I'll never go back to a normal phone again. The only issue is there is no security on the photo's or movies but apart from that I love it!!

Great phone with multi-functions and abilities. Fast and easy to use, the trackball offers an interesting twist to the handset. The one to chose for those who prefer buttons to touchpads.

I have had this phone for 2 months now, it is a great little phone. Easy to use, looks great and has all the tools you need. What more would you want. The pictures for a low pixel camera are great too.
I am glad I choose this to the storm.

I've had the phone for one month and its not bad. The keyboard is small and the light keeps dimming for no reason. I do like the voice dial but it picks random people to call if it does not understand the command. Also, the lock button could do with being somewhere else as it keeps unlocking when in my pocket. Good range of features and very good signal. GPS could do with an auto-redirect system as it does not refresh if you go off course.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This s an excellent Blackberry! As it was so different to a normal mobile phone I have ever owned before, it took a bit of getting used to, 'menus within menus'. But having said that, once you get the drift of how it works, its is pretty straightforward to use.and no turning back to a more standard mobile! Massive number of features which you can set to your personal needs. Highly recommended product.
