Review: Sweet Blackberry - My first 'smartphone', and I am glad I chose this one - it oozes quality at a reasonable price. Yes, it is SIM-free, but make sure your provider supports the Blackberry BIS - mine didn't, so I had to change from Tesco to O2 in order to access full e-mail and browser functionality. Once your e-mail(s) is/are set up, you can delete messages on the handset alone, or on any of your e-mail accounts as well The screen is very good and clear, sound quality is excellent, and the menus are really easy to use once you get used to them - it is different from previous phones I have used, and I think I prefer it that way. Text messages appear in an e-mail-like string, rather than as separate messages in an inbox and outbox, which takes some getting used to, but again I think I prefer it. The camera is basic, but perfectly adequate for outdoor shots - if you want superb resolution, flash etc, then buy a camera! I worried about typing on such small keys with fat fingers like mine, but the keys are raised and I find I make very few mistakes and can enter data quite quickly. The supplied software CD allowed me to transfer all my contacts and diary entries from a Palm Tungsten onto the Blackberry quickly and without any problems at all. I bought a larger capacity micro SD card (8Gb - the phone was supplied with a 2Gb card) to ensure more than adequate memory, and I would advise investing in a silicon skin protective cover - this is a snug enough fit that the phone can still be used with the Blackberry pouch case.
Review: A great little RedBerry - I have always used a Motorola V3 but the last one developed a fault and my husband (a Blackberry enthusiast) persuaded me to look at the handsets so we need only take one charger when travelling. I was very impressed with the look of the Blackberry and although the keys are small the design is such that it is very easy to use. I did not find it difficult to convert from the Motorola menus and have found the Blackberry uncomplicated and very functional. The camera works well and it browses fast and well. I am not so keen on the Off (hang up )key which is sometimes tricky to use - I prefer the off function in the menu but otherwise I think it is great value for money,a very attractive item and functional without being overloaded or fussy.

### ⭐ Ex T-Mobile
*by A***H on 17 December 2010*

My phone was set up for T-Mobile, so whilst its sim free I was still unable to alter the home web page setting which takes you to T-Mobiles mobile web page, with their banners. This included a banner for 'exotic' material which is earning someone cash. Given the phone might have been going to a child I think this is actually immoral if not even illegal. I gave the phone one star for that reason - and because I'm returning the phone I've not set it up so I can only guess at how cool it is to email and send BB messages and so on. Beautiful looking phone which is actually a mini computer. The quality of the calls was sound and the screen itself allows people struggling to see phone screens reading with ease. Internet is a snap - my connection was immediate. Faster than my laptop! As for the T-Mobile home page, this is apparently hard coded into the phone - you cannot change it in the options. If anyone knows how to change this in the options then let us know. Right now I have no mobile phone as I got another Blackberry off Virgin and that order got stopped due to communication problems with the call centre staff. This is the first item I've returned to Amazon, I'm not a serial complainer. That said, offering soft porn ads is beyond the pale really and I will take steps to complain to whatever authority oversees the mobile phone standards (if there actually are any in the UK)
