General Comments
Blackberry is great. It really is. If you are a business user especially I can't imagine that you would not benefit from using it. I always felt that someone had to design something like the Blackberry one day and when they did it would be a winner. Eventually they did!
Now I have to say it is quite funny seeing all the suits in the airport lounges and hotel lobbys around the world trying to receive e mails on clunky laptops or hotel PC's. I am the smug guy in the corner with a coffee scanning my e mails and answering them instantly, if needed. Even send e mails from within a meeting without anyone being aware, as you type away under the table! This does not mean it's perfect. It looks 'unusual' shall we say, and you have to hold it to your ear to make a call (the ear plug and cable supplied was quickly dumped) Needs Bluetoothe. All in all it's great though.
