This model is a step above it previous one. The GPS device is easy to use and finger-tip e-mail is a big plus. I find the phone book a little annoying, or maybe I just need to get used to it. Definately a good purchase.

the blackberry 8830,would be wonderful for my future son in-law to have.He was just shipped out from san diego.He is traveling over seas.Guam,japan,and australia.easier connection with my daughter.sempre fi

I love Blackberry period and a must have for them is the OperaMini browser. Internet, Email, GPS, etc it has everything and is faster than my PC.The voice recording feature is also a handy tool.

Awsome product, and keep in mind that I hate electronics, computers, and especially cell phones. But I'll be darned if i don't find myself using the heck out of my Balckberry every day, it goes with me everywhere & everyday, just like my cuffs and duty-weapon.

This Blackberry has saved my sanity ! I was really struggling with my Blackjack with dropped calls and was forced to upgrade to another PDA. The Blackberry works perfectly as a PDA as well as a phone. I could not be happier and don't know what I would do without it. You will have to pry it from my cold, dead hands. I highly recommended this phone for all departments !

Great cell phone, but it is incredibly difficult to learn how to use. I'm having a ton of trouble learning this phone and how to navigate around in it.

I have a Blackberry Curve and have to say this is one of the best if not Best Smart phones I have ever owned. Has great features and excellent picture quality being a 2MB pixel camera on the phone in taking quality pictures. I will say it lacks in video streaming and other features, overall I would say this phone is the best in the industry for what you can get.

great phone...good tool to have when out in the field for research.

I Love My Blackberry....

It is very smarth, and enhances your link with the world.

great phone love mine...

Love my blackberry wouldn't leave home without it, if i do I feel naked.

Excellent, would be so lost w/o it!

Great device. Third model of BB I've had and it is by far the best one. Keeps me in touch with work (maybe a little too accessible at times). Very reliable, screen is good, keys are a good size and I like the full keyboard.

Excellent product especially since it has a built in GPS. Unfortunately it is a little big to carry with you on a duty belt but for quick location look ups and getting your e-mail, it is great! Cell phone part though is a little hard to hear as I have found with many BB's.

I love my Blackberry it's great.

Hated my old blackberry. It had terrible reception. I do have to give it credit for its application and ease of use

Oustanding product as it serves a mulitude of purposees for investigation assisance.

love the phone almost everythig about execpt the battery life but that what car chargers are for

This phone works everywhere I need to and then some.Its thin light weight, what else can I say its a great phone

Takes up to much space but otherwise good equipment!

its like a credit card i dont leave home with out it

This is an excellent product. I've been using it for a year and a half. I have good coverage just about everywhere. I like the size of the Curve and the new Storm a little better, but there isn't a huge difference.

I have had my Blackberry since January 2008. I love this phone, I have no problem hearing during a phone call. I have download Google GPS which is free compared to the price that AT&T charges, I probably spend more time texting, and on the Internet than anything else. The only problem I have with this phone is that I had to replace the trackball. AT&T does not carry any parts in their store, I did go online and found several companies that sell replacement trackballs, very easy to install. If you remove your trackball to clean under it, just be careful not to break the little plastic clips on the sliver ring.

I do not own one, but haved messed around with my friends resently. All I have to say is wow I could play with that thing all day. Awsome phone.

I just got one and love it its da bomb

This thing has service where no other cell phone does....the mobile browser is great for lookin stuff up on the go and the text messaging is super fast

I was skeptical about leaving my MOTO Q for a Blackberry but man I'm glad I did. like others have said, this phone works anywhere. Even when my Nextel has 0 bars, this has signal. It's features make it great for business and pleasure.

I had one of these phone for about a year and was ready to get rid of it when the Blackberry Storm came out, but man was I wrong. Although the 8830 takes some getting used to, it is a great phone overall. If I could add one feature to the 8830 it would be a camera. If you receive a lot of photo's via text the 8830 is not your phone.

Only downside is no Camera Phone, but other than that an excellent tool, both on and off duty!

I am issued this at work and it is a great phone overall. The ability to connect to a govt server is a hudge benifit. Web browsing leaves a bit to be desired and the batter life really isn't that long if you are consistantly staying active using the different applications. I would recommend this particular phone for those that need communication via email within the government system.

This phone is always with me. I love that it is unlocked, so you can use it in any GSM market worldwide. The only beef I have with it is the calculator is a pain to use, as the buttons for it are scattered all over the keyboard (I find myself pulling out my iPod touch just for the calculator). I've also noticed this phone makes your voice sound GREAT!

This phone is always with me. I love it.

I love this thing. It is hands down the best phone i have ever owned. I never leave home with out it.

Best phone to have for callls and internet you can carry in your pocket

Best phone ever....Never leave home without it. I had no idea what cell phones were capable of until I picked this thing up

Had three cells the past ten years.Thisis the best by far.

Since I'm working as Lieutenant for a few months, County has issued me this Blackberry. We all know that when i go back to being a Sergeant, I will have to upgrade and get my own Blackberry phone. Was unsure about it in the beginning but getting use to all the it has to offer.

Before I purchased my "crackberry", I couldn't understand what was so great about them. Now, I could imagine being without it. Welcome to the world of "always connected"!

dont leave home without it. I would much rather have then a Iphone.

love my blackberry......checking e-mail....GPS....music...you name it, and you can get it on this phone...

good in the field tool

I can ravel anywhare in the US and aboard as well and I have never missed a call. I also am able to make sure all my flights are on schedule and that my home office is up to date.

Blackberry is cutting edge in commincation. I have used it all over the world and love it.

works well simple to use

Smart phone with all the capabilities when the job has to be done!!
