Advantages: applications

Disadvantages: battery life is quite poor

Iv had a blackberry 8120 on contract for about 14 months now and am so far on my 4th one! The first one completely crashed within days and would repeatedly type xxxxxxxxxxxx when any button was pressed, the second one kept turning itself off for no reason, then all the messages in the sms, sms, email and facebook inbox would be deleted, the third one was sent out with a foreign keypad on so the button display didnt match what was being typed and my final one so far has only had minor problems and **touch wood** is still doing fine.

The caseing seems to get scratched very easily, i am by no means heavy handed or rough with my phone but I still keep finding new scratches all over it, the rollerball jams easily and gets discoloured very quickly.

However since having this phone I am a converted Blackberry fan, i love the ease of having all my email addresses on my phone, a facebook and msn application and the blackberry messenger.

I probably don't use my phone to its maximum potential as I dont require most of the business applications such as excel etc but its still good to know they are there if needed. I would definately reccommend this phone, but buy from a shop or get on a contract, then if you do have problems you can get a replacement

Summary: Overall a good phone, but with a few software problems
