Advantages: Mobile email and calendar

Disadvantages: Needs much practical use to master it's complexity

Intuitive is not the first word that springs to mind to describe this Blackberry Curve 8310. I acquired mine about a year ago and my initial experiences were problematic and not very favourable at all. Having had various Nokia mobiles over a number of years I did not adapt easily to the much more complex operating system of the Blackberry. I thought this should be easy, just load all my contacts into the address book and away we go! This belief was founded in what I knew of previous handset updates. But I couldn't have been more wrong!! Much hair tearing and gnashing of teeth was needed brfore I finally achieved my first limited (I thought!) objective of making a call from my address book.
My comments so far have been all very negative but once I abandoned my preconceived ideas and started to get to grips with the complexities of the phone what a transformation. I have discovered a wonderful tool for both business and social interaction. Great for emails on the go and, as someone has comment in their review, it's like having a secretary in your pocket.
Now everyone in the office looks to me to find what new applications are available, what's the latest operating system and how to cure any hiccups with software. The transformation is complete I now am a total Blackberry devotee.
I still say it is a million miles from being intuitive!!!!

Summary: Great handheld business and social networking tool

I'm a devotee too. The switch from a traditional Nokia to this is quite hard though.
