blackberry 8110/8120

Just got an 8110 on upgrade through Vodafone, and I manage about 400 BlackBerrys of various types for my company.
Excellent handsets, the typing on the 81xx takes a little getting used to but it does everything you could need very well, just doesn't have the 'wow' factor for some people and the camera is a 2mp job - but does take a lot better pics than a Nokia 2mp. Lots of scope to change it all around to your liking, plus loads of software available online too. It's also surprisingly light and the battery is 3-4 days of average use including spending 2 hours a day on the train.
You can tell that it's a business or 'prosumer' phone and not a fashion accessory but these days most phones seem to be either huge, complex and slow or pretty but vacant but this one does everything with no significant compromises IMO
This is my final choice of upgrade, in a month I went from a K800i to W960i to Nokia 6500 and then the 8110 and that's where I'm staying now!

I use a Curve best phone I have owned especially when it comes to Email. GOD SEND the way it handles it.
I am not into fancy features. it texts, emails and handles calls well. Battery life is half decent. It has BT and with Opera Mini installed does the job for the odd bit of web surfing for infi

Blackberrys for consumers are pointless!
Why would you bother? You dont look cool, you dont send email that much to warrant one.
Plus they have the worst OS on the planet, it looks like atari OS
If you use email for everything then you need one in your life, if you dont its a waste of time. I know several people that have BB's and dont even have them set up for mail!
Its like sitting in your car and making engine noises.

Ive an 8100 which I have had for a while. Its a works phone and I get quite a number of emails on a daily basis.
I like it and fits for my use, but would never choose one personally for a couple of reasons. The software isnt the greatest and in my experience they BBs in general are pretty fragile.

I use mine for email too, I think the OS is really good (each to their own) I wouldn't probably consider getting one just as a phone but the 8110 has GPS sat/nav too which is a bonus. Couldn't get on the W960i at all, mine was amazingly slow and unresponsive - hated it and swapped it back after 2 days.
I'd love an iPhone but couldn't justify the expense to get one and hassle of moving networks.
