You've bought one and now your asking if its any good. Surely thats what you do before you buy?

I was just wanting some feedback from people who have the phone! Found the browser it came with to be slow, I now use opera mini - much faster. Camera not great but I didn't get it for that and email is instant. Don't use apps much. I like it and I can send pics to other BB users for free! |

When it was released, it was one of the better Blackberry handsets. But was compared unfavourably with similar handsets from other manufacturers. (bulky size, smaller memory, firmware issues, camera etc)
Almost two years on and it looks very out of date. I suppose whether it was a good purchase depends how much you paid for it. |

I loved it. I've just changed to the bold 9700 though.

Best business smartphone ever.
Yes, it's big but that means it has the best keyboard ever seen on a mobile device. I have tried the new 9700 and it feels slightly cramped in comparison. If I was being picky I would say the camera isn't that great, especially indoors, but most people who buy a BB don't buy it for the camera. If I was looking for a smartphone for personal use then I might be tempted by the new Curve but for business use, the Bold is hard to beat. |

The battery has the same capacity, but the 9000 eats more power. RIM quote a figure about a quarter less than the 9700. In my experience I would say the battery lasts a couple of days.
