This is a very good phone if you want to use it for keeping track of your mails on the go. Do not buy this if you are into flashy gizmos with lot of features that you are not going to use anyways. It has excellent sound reception and battery life is also good. You can download and install Yahoo Messenger and Google chat and keep in touch with your friends wherever you are.
You can also configure upto 10 email accounts and get the mails delivered right to your Handheld. My PC usage has come down drastically as now my Yahoo mails get delivered on the BB. You can also download and install various themes, ringtones and applications on the phone.
There is no camera, FM, MP3 player and other staple features found in mobiles these days. However this is no Fun phone and does not need all these add ons. Once you get the hang of the QWERTY keyboard, it is actually pretty convenient.
I would give it an 8 out of 10.
