Ultrafast, the track pad is great, beutifull and elegant, not too big, keyboard´s great and comfortable, i´ve just move from 8520 to 9500 to this one, i was happy with my 8520 and i just love this bold. RIM couldn´t fix my 9500 and gave me this awesome device. The mail delivery is the best. GPS is not so good. The sound is even better than storm.
