## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Phone for a world traveler
*by D***R on July 16, 2010*

This phone is great for someone like me who needs to switch sim cards while traveling. It works everywhere and I get my email wherever I am. The screen is not too big, but not too small and vibrant. At first I didn't like the new trackball, but after a week of using it, it is so much better than the old trackball that would get stuck, and not point where you wanted.The biggest drawback is setup. You have to get the blackberry service in some country first. The old blackberry's would let you just have internet and run everything from that. Now you have to get the BB internet service from a provider for the Gmail and other email accounts come up. This can be expensive, but the service is great when you have it.All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who can use a smartphone to simplify their life. It never stops and needs a restart like windows machines, and offers better security than droid.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best blackberry I've ever had!
*by D***N on December 15, 2009*

Excellent phone. A fusion of my old 8900 and a Bold 9000!Pros:Size (Almost as small as the 8900)Fast 3G phoneVoice qualityClassy design (a beauty!)Fast and responsive OSMore internal memory for programsBattery life is WoW!!! (incredible! best in a blackberry!)Screen is awsome! (colors and res)Camera is excellent (although no improvement here from 8900, but big improvement from BOLD 9000)Cons:Keyboard take some time to get use to. But once you get use to the keyboard you'll feel right at home

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just Perfect!
*by P***K on February 22, 2011*

What I can say about a Blackberry, it's just perfect.just opened the box, plugged the battery and the sim card and it started to work.After few wizard screens I could make some calls and browse the web.It's very easy to setup an e-mail account.This phone is unlocked, so I just inserted my sim card and worked fine.The quality of the voice are fantastic! and the keyboard is designed in a way that your fingers can hit the correct key, making your type better and faster. It's amazing the way that your thumb fits the letters.The cam can take nice pics, but it's just 3mp , if you are a maniac for pics, I would recommend another smartphone/BB model with 5mp or higher (if exists).The screen has a nice quality.I tottaly recommend this cell.
