I have years working with Blackberry. As an IT Manager and Blackberry Enterprise Server administration I had gained lot of experience with Blackberry equipments.
Cons:
- Low photo camera quality: I don’t like the photo quality results.
- Low video camera quality: video quality is poor in video camera.
- Size: is bigger than curve
- Batt time: 3g and wiFi drain batt time like crazy
Pros:
- 3G speed: enterprise activation, email, sms, browsing, etc are high speed now thanks to 3g technology.
- Menu speed: thanks to the new OS and the cpu speed, the menus and response of the unit is superb
- external SD memory card size allowed: you can add 32gb of sd card externaly without need to open the batt cover. with 32GB you have enough space for a lot of videos, mp3, photos and docs
- Wi-Fi: you can connect to your company, home or hotel wifi without issues. include some tcp tools like ping, etc
- Bluetooth: good for headphones, address book transfer and sync with your car bluetooth system. you can even dial to anyone in your addressbook from your car by say the name if you car support the feature
- Tethered Modem: this is a nice feature. in an easy way you can connect your laptop or pc to internet using 3g speed and your provider. I even connect my laptop in the highway in emergencies to internet at good speed. you need a data plan from your provider (i recommend and unlimited one)
- Level 2 device: this is the first time you can use phone and receive emails at the same time. older bb versions don’t allow that. now you can use the device as tethered modem and still receive phone calls. very important feature.
- BES security: there is nothing compare to BES security. Blackberry is the top notch security and mobile email provider in the world. no iPaq, iphone, palm can compare with BB solution. From the BES server I can lock, kill or locate Blackberry devices when stolen, etc
- Qwerty keyboard: i love the BB keyboard and the full qwerty with good response
- GPS: I do not use too much the gps functionality in the BB but works great with BB maps and Google maps.
- Video screen quality: video screen quality is amazing, the unit I have come with some demos and is a real HD video. now the BB have half VGA screen but the colors and sharpness are amazing.
- Audio quality: if you connect your BB to your home theather you will hear full digital 20hz-20Khz audio quality.
- iTunes sync: you can sync your itunes library with BB (i never tested this feature)
- Bluetooth tathered: you can use the thatered modem option without wires, using bluetooth. Tested!!
- light flash for photo and video: the flash can be used for taking photos and for videos.
This is a real good unit. another bad thing is this is expensive, but with a data plan you can save your money.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
