Advantages: Small, lightweight, email

Disadvantages: small screen, limited internet

If you are looking for a great entry into the smartphone market, this is it. How did I ever cope without being able to get my email as I was walking down the street, let alone msn messenger, twitter and the internet. Now with the addition of the new operating system from RIM you can edit my word and excel documents as well.

The 8120 is relatively easy to set up. especially the push email which is what blackberry do best. The tech support is always there if you get stuck and there are plenty of helpful internet sites that opened my eyes as to what was possible with this phone.

Blackberry do email on the move better than any of their competitors. I work with people that use the i phone and a range of nokias, sony erricson and have done a fair bit of comparrison. The phone is quite intuitive, synchs with outlook contacts, notes, diary and learns new words when you type. I love it.

On the downside the internet browser is a little limited and the price you pay for a small phone is a small screen and that's pretty much it.

Summary: Great entry into the smartphone market
