1-Agreed with what you said. But still i have to open the back to access the Memory card. Not a BIG issue, just inconvenient.

2- About comparing touch screen, basically i compared it as i was getting touch screen for same price. I know tech are diff.

@all:
another thing i have noticed now, it has NO FM radio.

Tips: better to leave some space on device memory, otherwise you would feel slow response ......

      hardcore1234, 10 May 2010is there any way to use BIS for free?No, I'm afraid not. BIS is a service provided my RIM for their BB smartphones. It allows access to their servers for push email, push notifications, etc. You can, however, use wifi for browsing only. With this, you have the option of going to the mobile websites of each email account you want and reading your emails through there. Same as FB and Twitter, you can visit their sites and you won't need BIS. BIS is for when you want push email, push notifications for FB, Twitter, and anything else a BB can offer.

        1- SDcard is right there under the camera, beneath the battery cover. It is hotswappable because you can take it out without taking out the battery.
        2- Why consider it a con to not be a touch screen when this clearly wasn't made to be a touch screen? 2 different kinds of devices.

For BES you need your company to set up the account and set up the IT policies which gives them control over what goes on with the phone. If it's a personal phone, then I don't think you can set a business email account, just personal (yahoo, gmail, hotmail).

                        BIS lets you have push email, social networking apps, IM apps, BBM, and internet.
