BlackBerry 7250 Cell Phone

Cons: Phone dialing difficult to navigate. Phone funtion hard to hear, and weak micropohone portion. Included software incompatible with my calendaring.

Summary: Overall I am fairly neutral on the Blackberry. The scroll wheel allows for easy navigation, and the variety of available applications is fantastic. I was especially pleased with the email function. Worked seemlessly even without the benefit of a Blackberry Enterprise server at my work. Simply used the web version of the blackberry client. The phone function on the other hand left something to be desired. Phone book is difficult to navigate and somewhat counterintuitive in the buttons used to dial and/or save a number. I also found the small keys very difficult to use, especially in regards to the shift fuunction. It is also sometimes difficult to reboot the system if the battery dies, even after recharging. It sometimes requires removal and reseating of the battery. Overall again, I am fairly neutral, but would not recommend.

Cons: Not many features needed for work
Display is very hard to see in bright sunlight

Summary: Bought this phone for my wife and ended up giving it to my son (for a first phone). I have not been to impressed with the Nokia line of phones and this one made me go with another company (Sony Ericsson). Will suffice for kids as a first phone since it can be dropped over and over and still work (personnal experience)

Cons: Speakerphone and camera missing, but not the end of the world. I have a great digital camera, and hate when other people put me on speakerphone!

Summary: The PDA functions offered in a BlackBerry, truely allow for you to have a mobile office. I love having everything right at my fingertips at all times!
