RIM BlackBerry 7230 review Editors Choice Award

Thursday 19 February 2004, 2:56 PM

Always connected Hard working Business Essential!


Everything that the Blackberry does it does brilliantly! The mobile email is such a godsend, especially when working with people in multiple time zones! I literally save days on my schedule by being able to react immediately thanks to my Blackberry. The telephone is good too, very clear and holds signal well even when in lifts! The ergonomics’ are brilliant, with the keyboard having the perfect feel!

Bad points.

Why did the US government insist on disabling the infrared port?!?
No Bluetooth or proper cradle car kit.
No way to expand memory or create "offline files" if your Outlook in box reaches its limit.
OK I know it’s a business tool, but a radio or MP3 Player would be nice, people that use these spend far too much time in airports and the like!

My final bit.

Wonderful tool, I cant wait for Blackberry / RIM to bring out one for the 3G data networks!!
