Great Phone!
Phone owned for less than a year

I love this phone! The resolution is clear, bright and beautiful. It has a lot of memory and great media features. It has 3G, wifi and a 5 mp camera with autofocus.

It's compact and lightweight and has a great keyboard for texting. Looks and feels like a quality device.
Unlike previous Blackberry models, rebooting is really fast.

It's great for checking e-mail, chatting, texting, social media and storing music and videos.

Browsing the internet is pretty good and it's a lot faster than previous Blackberry models but if you compare it to Android phones, you'll find it that it still lacking on that department.

Youtube videos usually run smoothly but they can occasionaly go slower than expected.

Even though it's a pretty fast and responsive phone, it tends to freeze if you download too many applications.

Overall, it's a great phone, if you're a Blackberry fan you will not be dissapointed!

BB Bold
Phone owned for less than 3 months

Good phone, quick UI, big upgrade from my old phone. I love the keyboard.
If not a fan of touchscreens like myself, get this. I enjoy this phone though, fun to use and looks great. But then again this phone still costs alot for its quality. BB curve costs crazy amount too, so choose this over it
