This device is exclusive to T-Mobile in the UK for time being. T-Mobile seem to be the only network interested in consumer data products and have decent customer support

Hi,
I am looking to purchase a BB, am trying to find out all the pros and cons but so far would seem a good buy. My main query is, while away from my office, can the BB be sync to my PC so back at the office I can read mail with attachments. I still want my mail to go to my PC as well as BB.

This is hands down, the best Blackberry I have ever had. Far and away the best. Fast, the screen rocks. And the service has een great. I go to Europe once a month and have used this phone and data in Rome, Dublin, and Venince. It supports EDGE. My only issue is the phone picks up alot of background noise. So a good BT headset is a must....

Hello Fellow Mobile Colleagues,

I currently own an original Rogers Wireless Palm Treo 650. As you probably know, it is an excellent unit. The only thing I don't like about it, is that the keyboard keys are too small and they are too close together. It is very difficult for me to get at them. I am forced to use the stylus to press them. As you can imagine, this is extremely frustrating.

Would this issue be solved with the Blackberry 8700r? How is the key layout of the Blackberry 8700r?

Please let me know. Thank you.

I recently had this phone but returned it within 30 days. I wasn't satisfied with Cingular.

This phone is pretty good. Much improvements over the previous versions. It is smaller than on the pictures. And very light. In the pictures, it looks like a brick but it's very light.
Screen is very bright, alarms were loud, vibration was sort of strong, speaker phone was loud and clear, sending/receiving sms, emails were quick and easy. Battery life was good and bluetooth signal was strong.

The down sides are, you have to hold down the "alt" key to type numbers while typing in sms or emails. The calendar was too simple and slightly complicated to manuver thru. There was no option to delete all your phonebook and emails at once. When returning this phone, I had to delete the contacts and emails one by one.

I've taken this phone to several us cities (Atlanta, Miami, Tampa, New York) and several countries; (Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Haiti)

I returned this phone not because it's a bad phone but cingular was a bad provider. Did not work in San Pedro Sula, Honduras; and Haiti. (But Haiti, nothing works, so...)

While emails and sms were fine, I had alot of trouble connecting with the browser. I repeatedly got network not available message. I blame cingular because some of the problems were in the states as well.

I will wait until my current provider or another one offers this phone.

Pls try to answer the following questions.

(1) Can this read and write Arabic?

(2) Can it uses windows: word / excel / e-mail Access. etc.... .


(3)Synchronization by first and last names.

(4)Synchronization by phone numbers.

(5)The phone frame should be solid enough.

(6)Assigned Daily Calendar events should always be stamped on the screen with timely peeps till the user stop or delete them.

(7)Keep the annual events stored in the Phone Calendar's memory such as Birthdays, special occasions as long as he needs them stored, the phone should move or copy them automativally to the new Calendar.

(8)Increase the number of characters / digits written per line.

(9) Change the font: Regular / Bold / Italics / and pt. number.

Had a palm treo 650 that repeatedly crashed. The treo does a little of everything but nothing well. Switched to BB 8700c. Is is a great business tool with a great phone and speakerphone and excellent e-mail and calender. Not a toy Excellent replacement for a phone and pager.

I own the blackberry 8700r from Rogers Wireless in Canada. I LOVE this phone, no matter the size! The screen is sooo bright and the web browser works PERFECTLY !!! in wap or in http. My only 2 troubles is that blackberry says that it's possible to put MP3 ringtones THATS A LIE !!!!!! THE MP3 can't be transfert with MMS, BLUETOOTH, E-MAIL, DESKTOP or even the WEB BROWSER !!! And when you call the custumer service... " Well I'm not sure, are you sure its wrote on our website that the blackberry support MP3?" "DAMN RIGHT I'M SURE!!!!". And you cant transfert any data with the bluetooth! Its a shame! Come on ! But over all its a good phone for people that dont matter about the MP3 Ringtonez

The new blackberry is in a league of it's own. much better then the 7290. The new high resolution screen is much better then the last, and it now has Edge, so the internet is much faster then the old, the pages load in seconds.

FYI... Cingular will have a 60 day exclusive with this device from date of official launch to the general consumer market. After 60 days, all other providers - such as T-Mobile - will be able to market this device to their customers as well as the general public.
