The Blackberry's Merits
The Blackberry provided by QF to its CSMs is a good piece of equipment with a specific usage profile.
It is somewhat limited regarding what QF IT wants to do with it.
Had QF IT done a little research it would have been realised that a superior 3G version (The Bold) was in the pipeline.
But with Qantas price is always the criteria.As usual they got what they paid for.
ASUS netbooks would have been a much better(and yes)cheaper option.
Small,wireless,bluetooth,userfriendly keyboard ,6.5 hour battery life,an Atom Processor and the 1000h has 60 Gig hardrive and the RAM is upgradable to 2Gig.Phone calls can be made using SKYPE.
It could be loaded with all the forms and all the manuals Qantas required.
It even fits perfectly on a CSM workstation
