Advantages: The mmost useful phone ive ever had

Disadvantages: Not particularly attractive, low battery life

Before i go on you must understand a few things. I am a woman, I am not a gadget addict...BUT i love my blackberry.

Ive never had a blackberry before and heard they were clumsy, the keyboard was hard to test and type with and overall they were more of a fashion accessory. Mine came free with work so i thought id give it a go.

What i use mine for- Mainly work use. I phone and text people in the same way i ever did. The keyboard is not at all an issue after a couple of days of getting used to it. What has changed from my previous phones is that now i can easily send and receive email. This has made my life so much easier. Less trips into the office and much more convenient.

Features- A lot of the functions are activated using the centre rollerball. The screen is big enough and the graphics are clear. There are so many extra features such as media,maps and isilo that i have never used and probably never will. Im sure if i was more into gadgets i would have used this more.

The bottom line- This phone does exactly what i want it to do. It's battery life isnt great (i have to recharge every night) but i use it a lot and i dint mind charging it whilst im in bed. The Blackberry has never let me down. If a fool like me can use it anyone can!

Summary: Does just what i tell it to do, good little blackberry!
