The Bottom Line:
I wouldn't recommend getting it.
So, this was my first blackberry I've ever gotten. I was intimidated by all the buttons and options that were available, but eventually overcome that fear and started messing around with it. Within the first year however, the middle scrolling button started to not work. I was able to scroll up and down but not able to select the option. Luckily the phone was still under warranty so I went into my Verizon to get it replaced with no problems. Now, 7 months after, the same problems occurred. And now, when I turn off my cell phone the screen won't come back on unless I took the battery out and put it back in. I don't think I did anything out of the norm to cause this to happen. The only thing that worked great on it was the music player where I can store music and either use a headphone to listen to it or put it on speaker. And the speaker was loud enough other people could hear it in the room. It sucks that this version doesn't have a camera on it. I wouldn't recommend getting this version, especially if you are not a traveler. I thought I'd be traveling a lot so I got this world edition, but I didn't. And plus there is a fee to just activate it outside the US.
