Networks & Network Services

PLUS


• Styling: nice weight, good feel, fits in a pocket, and still does all the BlackBerry things


• Decent extras – built-in mapping for contacts, scrollwheel replaced by a trackball, lots of clever shortcuts


• Excellent call and audio quality



MINUS


• 20-button keyboard takes some getting used to (but then it’s easy)
• Glossy case gets smeared easily with fingerprints
• May be a bit large for some female hands

WE SAY
One for the working girl: a BlackBerry with style at last
