Blackberry?
A few weeks ago, I invested in a Blackberry 8120 Pearl. I needed a new phone, and it was a good deal, etc etc. I’d been considering a Blackberry before; having talked to someone I’ve worked with in the past, I figured a Blackberry would be a good way to go.
And I’m really, really pleased with it. Granted, it’s an old design of a phone and in some ways I wish I’d bought a Curve, but budget limits stopped play with that, so a pearl it was.
The little features really did it for me, I love the Blackberry Internet Service, and the way it works with it’s ‘holster’, and I have been lucky enough to have the help of Donald Kelly in getting going with it – he has *far* more expertise than I do.
What it means though, is that I can pick up my email within five minutes of having it sent to me, wherever I am. And that’s brilliant.
I’m really pleased that I didn’t wait and buy an iPhone, I actually think that I prefer my berry to the (4x price) iPhone, just for the little things it does which I’ve never seen on an iPhone.
I’ve also been looking at the new Blackberry 9100 Stratus, the replacement for the Pearl, and I think that looks *amazing*.
