BlackBerry handsets are great. They match unbeatably good email delivery with decent features and increasingly stylish design. Most are quite wide, but the joy of the first BlackBerry Curve was that it was narrower, managing to squeeze a perfectly usab...

Overall, this is a great phone. It has that one big omission, namely 3G, but it keeps the price down and battery performance up. If email is of prime concern, youll barely notice the difference. RIM has found ways of delivering email quickly using GSM...

We take the newest trackball-equipped BlackBerry for a spin to decide whether its additional music functions make it the best BlackBerry for the blue jeans set.

Excellent call handling. Push e-mail is business class for consumers. BlackBerry phones have the best battery life of any device.
No popular IM clients. Ugly calendar. Disappointing music app, with abysmal transfer software. Slow EDGE networking.
