Great phone, email is robust very reliable and straight to the handset, you can take a good quality picture and email it straight to your friends or work etc.. voice dialling is very useful just press the button on the side of the phone, say the command call, say the name, then say the location (mobile,home,work etc..) then the phone will dial for you, no setting up or voice training, fantastic. Google talk/mail is very good and free on the blacberry tarrif. Media is great although you have to watch the files that you convert to the phone as it has limits, still good overall. The phone is also very small for a bb. Battery gives a good days usage and handsfree calling is high quality. This phone does everything I need for business and keeps me entertained and in touch with my mates all within my airtime contract, I get 900 free anytime minutes to landline or mobiles, 50 texts, unlimited bb up to 75MB per month (fair usage policy) all for £30 per month. Well happy.

Does anyone know if this can take video as well? If it does, will it be in 3gp or mp4 format? Also, when it rings, is it quiet for the 1st second, THEN comes on loud, or is it loud right from the start?

You can use Yahoo Mail on there. I have yahoo mail setup on my BIS. All you do is type in your email address@yahoo.com and your password. Unlike with other email like exchange, Yahoo and GMail are both delivered in real time. No waiting 15 minutes. There is even a special icon on your BB for Yahoo Mail. It is rumored that they are working on a way to sync your address book and cal. from yahoo to your BB as well.

BB does have wifi versions specifically designed for instutitions such as hospitals where cell phone signals may interfere with sensitive equipment. Drug information, paging services, patient charts, and emails could still be delivered using wifi. There are rumors of wifi being integrated into consumer versions, however.

Again your wrong, RIM dis not even add POP access, you cannot have your hotmail sent to your bb, nor your yahoo mail (which all POP mail actually runs through) They do offer messaging services from the aformentioned providers. And yes the Pearl and curve have cameras, but liek teh otehr guy said they are for real estate or insurance agents who need a camera, otherwise why wouldnt the 8800 have a camera, it does have gps, why not put in a camera? Thats what testifies to BB business model. 3G also will not make the email arrive faster, teh only advantage that 3G will have for a BB user is that when running GPS it will be smoother otehr then that its pointless, and as for WLAN access, if a business person is in a hotspot they are most likely already on their laptop because if you are honestly that busy of a person you have that access readily avalable to you. Last time i checked it was still easier to do things on a 12inch 1lb laptop then on a handheld of any brand. Stop complaining about Nokia this or 3G that or Wifi This. If RIM wanted to access those markets they would have already, they are one of the most advanced mobile technology compnaies out their who have innovated and changed many things about the industry. They will include Wifi and 3G when they find it will actuallyt add or help their customers, which just isnt now. So stop complaining, if you all love your nokia's so much then just go hang out on that message board!

Contrary to what a previous person stated, BB is NOT only for businesses. If it were only for business RIM would not have integrated POP account access. They would have made it so you could only access email with their BB Enterprise Server. The earlier versions were clearly targeted towards business needs but that has changed especially with the Pearl and Curve. The fact that the Pearl and Curve have cameras testifies to this. Most businesses do not need camera phone/pda's. RIM is doing a great job of targeting both segments now if only the Curve had built in WiFi.

read more about BB, it seems they have actually wlan b (in BB web page), but they have a specific work with BB servers (or smth like that), anyway not suitable for not corporate worker or personal use. Pitty, cause looking for personal messenger and can't find suitable.

I have an opinion contrary to most here in that I am not part of a business that requires constant email contact. I dont have a data plan either. However I do really like the Blackberry Curve and would reccomend for these reasons:
1. Functionality (ease of use through their menu layouts)
2. Organizing Features (easy to set up and monitor datebook)
3. Keyboard is the best out there. All of these other PDA phones can't duplicate the touch, feel, and spacing of the QWERTY keypad on a BB. Therefore, texting is easy, finding contacts quickly is amazing.

to all those dimwitted people out there. BB are ONLY used for business purposes. RIM promotes their products specifically for those who are always on the move and for those who need to keep in constant contact with their co-workers/superiors. The main reason why they havent integrated wifi into their BB handhelds is because they have their BB servers. If you were to compare receiving an email through wifi and their BB server you will see a BIG difference in speed of both response and sending. Their BB server is a dedicated system that is only used for emailing purposes. 3G is not necessary for BB because they arent useful and they would drain necessary batter life for those who only use it for its soul purpose...EMAILING. Now the curve is marketed mainly for insurance brokers or real estate agents who are looking to take pictures of houses and send them through email. The 8800 is for people who are in offices or who travel. All these extra features only down grades a BB from its main purpose. No reason to get a BB if you arent going to use its main features.
