"Goodbye work-life balance!"
What I like:
Love the design and ease of use. SureType is also great once you get used to it
What I don't like:
Creates a lot of disturbance to surrounding devices (radio, telephone, PC screen)
Review:
This really is the sexiest number available at the moment. Expect problems when setting it up, because O2 customer service people don't even know what a BlackBerry is. Once you get going, however, you can't praise it enough. It's still very different and exotic as well so you won't be like every other person. It does create about a 3 metre area where you can't have any other electronic devices because of the constant disturbance but other than that I cannot find a fault with it!

Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
