I recently purchased this blackberry for my daughter after up grading from an older version of blackberry and to be honest don't think there's much difference apart from bring a slightly slimmer version, I personally don't rate blackberrys much although they are great for the younger generation with the bbm feature , I think for kids these are great other than that I don't really rate them Internet is too slow, and already the scroller seems to stick, saying this I would probably stick to this for my daughter as she is really familiar with blackberrys so can easily use it, I think they still have a long way to go in terms of technology as it. Doesn't seem as advanced as other phones and brands, although the apps seem to have improved slightly in this newer version still a below average smart phone for me personally although I'm sure my daughter would disagree
