i've been using this phone for 2 and a half years and i still have it without a scratch :D , but being seriuos the negative points of this phone are:

- it's slow, even that it has 128MB of memory but i think the processor can't handle very well the 4.6 OS

- The GSM/GPRS/EDGE reception is weaker then others blackberries like the 8520 or even the 81xx series.

- the bluethooth just stopped working without any reason, it just didn't turn on anymore.

- battery life should have been better.

of course the are good parts:

- The desing it's just perfect, i love it!.

- the build quality is really good, like i said before in 2 + 1/2 years it haven't had a scratch.

- the keyboard is suretype but it's bigger than the 81xx pearl series so the keys are the perfect size.

- The camera quality is fine but not the best.

- The speaker volume is very good for calls and for ringtones

- I've never had problems with the trackball

So in conclution RIM sacrifice performance for desing without putting away buitlt quality and making a good phone for the casual user who wants a good looking blackberry.

i havehad this phone now for almost two years, my only complaint ever is when I have texted to much over a long period of time without turning off the phone, it comes up with an error code and will not aloow me to text and freezes, but i just turn it off and back on and its good to go, sometimes a pretty lengthy load up time, which worries me if i were ever in an emergency, but the style feel and 90% of the time dependabily is great!
I really like this phone! i am switching to more of a texting phone and less business phone, because i amnot using this phone to its fullest ability! I would recommend this phone to anybody interested in a sleek styled emailing and not bad camera phone ;)

does the phone have gtalk/yahoo chat as well? cause a friend of mine had an old blackberry and that didnt have option to download anything apart from a windows messenger (and bbm of course since he had d data plan activated).
also, hows the phone in use, hanging and processing. compatible with other apps like whatapp/nimbuzz etc. ?

great phone, best keyboard layout in my opinion with two letters on each key, good for people with large fingers. no butt dialing because its flip, only one fatal flaw is that almost all 8220's start to have sim card errors after about a year and application errors, two of my friends have the same phone and both started to bugg out after about a year. mine just got the fatal app error 805 or whatever and now all my notes and texts and saved stuff are all toast, luckily blackberry's have a very good backup program (blackberry desktop)

I still struggle with the keyboard--a "modified' qwerty that's hard to use. Biggest problem is that it regularly locks up. I added the QuickPull app, which presumably restarts the phone and kills the lock-ups, but it hasn't. I thought it was the perfect phone for me. Not so.
