"I want to like it, but I don't"
What I like:
BlackBerry Features; good screen and reasonable camera. Analogue clock and stop watch!
What I don't like:
Everything else
Review:
Flawed design. Click screen is poor and typing is error prone both using overly small Querty and Suretype keyboards. Gravity switch unreliable and often have to knock it to change orientation. Terrible working battery life - lucky to last 8 hours. Claimed 300 hours on standby is a joke. Temperamental charging - frequently have to hard boot to recharge. Frequently drops network connection and allows SOS calls only. Internal aerial not sensitive enough and often unable to find signal. Frequently drops calls. It's so bad my colleague returned his for a BB Curve. Hopefully it's replacement should be better - BlackBerry should do the decent thing and offer all current 9000 users a free upgrade.

Latest Mobile phone Reviews
BlackBerry Storm 2
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
