I used this BlackBerry for a year before my contract expired with AT&T. I have since upgraded to an iPhone 4 and this BlackBerry seems like a dinosaur compared to it!The phone itself does perform well in regards to phone calls and text messaging, but that''s about it.Web browsing and email are good, but not amazing. Email delivery was delayed and not exactly what I expected from a device that people said was the best for email on the go. This phone is not 3G capable which is not good at all. Web browsing via WIFI is a bit better, but the Blackberry browser is a bit cumbersome and slow. In addition, it does not support flash. If I wanted to do something simple like watch a you tube video, it made me download the video first, then watch it. WHY?! I have yet to run into anything on a web site that Safari cannot open on the iPhone. I even tried the blot web browser for BlackBerry, and though it was a bit quicker, it still didn''t support many web pages.Finally, the applications. They are lacking horribly! BlackBerry is hurting here! The BlackBerry App Store is pretty much a joke. It doesn''t have nearly the amount of apps, and more importantly, reliable and working apps that Apple has. The apps that I used (Bolt, Facebook, TSN and iheartradio) were very, very unreliable. At times they would not connect or not even open at all, even with full bars on EDGE or on WIFI.The web experience on the BlackBerry compared to the iPhone is night and day. If you''re looking for a smartphone with limited options, good talk and text quality, a joke of a browser and an even bigger joke as far as applications...BlackBerry is for you. For the rest of us paying to use a data plan, there''s the iPhone.Good luck BlackBerry, but you have a lot of work to do! Kinda embarrassing for a company that has been in the wireless business years before Apple!Rating: 2/5 stars. It gets the job done, but not any better than a normal QWERTY phone would. Web browsing and lack of applications make this phone a big pass. Smartphone? Not really, unless you enjoy 1998 performance.
