The Bottom Line:
I would get them again but I am highly interested in the Blackberry Storm.
We are small business owners- a husband and wife team. For a couple of years we had cell phone plans that would share minutes. However we always seemed to have a different phone. In addition to a cell phone each there was one older Blackberry between the two of us which we used when we traveled or were expecting an important email on our home account.
After a fair amount of cell phone use we were assigned a business account manager with our cell phone company who recommended the Blackberry World!
We gave up our Franklin planners right away as we found the Calendar feature the best of all. Using Google calendar and a downloaded app to our blackberry world, we now share a calendar which is highly helpful in planning our evening activities. We he adds an appointment it shows on my Blackberry and so on.
No more forgotten birthdays or gentle reminders, we even put in our vehicle inspection dates and now are assured of not forgetting the little things in life.
Another great app of course is email ability. It is almost as good as having a laptop. For a short conference trip you might be able to live on just the Blackberry World if all you need is email service.
The Internet Browser does not open everything, but we have downloaded apps like CNN which allow us to get the headlines and even see video which is helpful if you are passing time at the airport.
We miss having a camera-world does not have that option. Also there is a side voice activation button that gets bumped daily as it is placed back into a waist belt holder.
Just having a data package is a big plus with unlimited email and text msg. We get great range with this phone and the size is very nice with the full keyboard an added plus.
