Vodafone BlackBerry 7100v review

Poor battery life and reception


I have switched from the 7730 to this with the view of also giving up my Nokia phone. The 7100v drops GPRS in areas that the 7730 works, and considering I have not used it to make voice calls I find the battery life short at 2-3 days (the 7730 would easily last 4-5 days ). The keyboard takes a little getting used to, but that is overcome with practice; screen clarity is good and if it's only for checking emails on short trips it will probably do the job. However, I am going back to my 7730.

Overview

Vodafone BlackBerry 7100v

Editors rating
Rating: 7.5
Verdict

Vodafone's BlackBerry 7100v is a fair mobile email device so long as you don't need to handle graphics, large spreadsheets or complex documents. But as a handheld/phone combo it's eclipsed by more capable Palm OS- and Windows Mobile-based offerings.

Typical price

£ 100
