          Just bought this babe at a ridiculous price on contract (140 euros.....). So far I can safely point out that for a noob user its a bit complicated software to use BUT surprisingly quite fast to dig in. Keyboard is a bit small for my fingers at least but I am getting used to it and it gets better and better. I just love the general feel even though I am still xploring it. I ll post again in a few days for more impressions. Definately seems to worth the money so far

                          Anonymous, 16 Nov 2009What a terrible phone , never have i seen , used or heard o... morethats a whole load of nonsense you have just expressed. I've had this phone for a week and like others have said its the best phone in both low range and high range, bear in mind this is not my first BlackBerry. I've had a wide range of phones and not many of them can step to this one . It has everything you need plays videos in every format, even in .mkv. The only downfall to this phones is that you cannot edit pictures, but then that is the same as any other blackberry. This phone is a very reliable phone and get it if you wish but you would never know what the phone really does until you buy one or experience one.

I have mine on prepaid service so I activated it through sms. Next month I'll have it with a plan called BB Unlimited Internet for about $40 a month.

Although the screen on the Gemini (this one) is only qvga (320 x 240) color look nice. The 2mpx cam is ok in sunlight but otherwise you can't do much with it. But the trackpad seems to run smoother than the trackball. i also think than the Gemini looks nicer with the all-black color scheme. But for half the price (in my country) you really only would be affected by not being able to see divx and xvid videos. I think it's worth it. I will only trade this in for the Onyx (bold 9700) or I'll just wait for BB to make something with a 3mpx + Autofocus or a 5mpx camera. That's all BB is missing out on. Multimedia creation.

I would believe that downloads are free too. I haven't been charged anything. If you don't activate the BIS, then you have the option of using wi-fi.
