Not got that one, but i do have the 8900 curve which isn't a million miles away. I like Blackberrys, specifically for me, as one of they entreepreenurs, it's very, very handy for email, using the Blackberry 'push' email system. That really is the main schtick for these phones.

There's plenty of apps if that's your thing, but it doesn't hold a candle to the jesus phone in that regard, but otherwise you get wifi (I don't think BB's do 3g, but I stand to be corrected on that). The trackball is a pain but you get used to it & from what I gather, the later touch screen models are an acquired taste.

Oherwise, it's a decent smartphone, but to reiterate, it really is all about the email side of things. If you want a glittery plaything, go for an Icostlots.
