The phone quality seems to be really good as well so thus far, I have no complaints. PS: I also walked outta there with 12-months free unlimited voice, 3 months free unlimited data and a free Bluetooth headset. Oh and the device after rebates is only going to cost me $300 plus tax which is dope considering retail is $600. Given that savings, even if I wanted to break my contract, it's only going to cost me $200 to do so. I hate contracts, so I always have that to fall back on. |

PS: to those that have my Fido cell phone number (the one I've had for 8 years now)... I will keep this phone active for some time still but email me for my new cell number as I switched from Fido to Cantel. (They are the same fricken company now anyway!)
Cheers. |

Corporate breaks is downsizing, you wont make it through the season Kraig.
Back on topic. The blackberry is a very cool device, I just couldnt see myself using it as a cellphone. It's way too wide, I feel like im talking to a wall. If I had allot of imporant email daily, I would see a purpose for it when commuiting. The PDA functionality is good; schedualing, dates, contacts, ect. Still I would feel the need to carry it in addition to a cell phone, thats just a waste. Snyx says thumbs down for the average user, wait till they got cameras and a userbase. |

I don't know why Paris Hilton has a Blackberry, I see her more of the Sidekick type. She's in the new commercials for it :p |

That model you posted is the 7100 and is ideal for those that want more "phone-type" features. It uses predictive text rather than the QWERTY keyboard that mine has. Basically I can type texts/emails WAY faster with mine than the other.
Myles -- I thought exactly the same, but the new unit is lighter and less awkward than you think. That aside though, it is totally for a business professional that needs contacts, a calendar, notes and email on the go. It definitely gets a "Corporate Breaks" approval! :D |

I wonder if the Blackerries are more popular in Europe where the phone systems are all GSM & compatible. Here even Telus cell phones (which use CDMA technology) cannot even send email (last time I checked).
Some job types could make good use of these too, like real estate agents. Problem is, many of those people are old-fashioned and don't even know how to use a computer or anything like that so a Blackberry is beyond them. If they had speech recognition in the Blackberry that would be great, then you could just dictate your email. |

I'm looking into getting one of those as well. Our Company is upgrading our e-mail and moving to a more electronic system so if I could integrate that into the mix it would be sooooo much more organized. I wouldn't be able to escape work ever... but hey... it's a rad toy!

i personally need to fiddle around with one before i really have a pov on it. from the looks of it yes email everywhere..super cool, but that huge thing as a phone? not so much. i think its only suitable for some ppl.... if i need the net badly enough i have my laptop now, and i THINK from my cellphone i can check email as well, but costs an arm and a leg. kraig lettme play with ure blackberry!!
