Best Blackberry for limited email user


Over past 3 and half years I have previously had Blackberry 5820 and 7730 prior to the 7100x. I am impressed by the 7100x in all respects except a) battery life is much less than 7730 - perhaps 50%, b) the screen is illegible when used out doors in bright light (whereas 5820 and 7730 are excellent in bright light), c) there is no calculator, and the address search facility seems to work much slower than the 7730 (presumably slower processor). As I am a heavy mobile email user I plan to change back to 7730 which has comparative disadvantage of no bluetooth or speakerphone, (and none have wi-fi capability. Hopefully a future model will be launched soon to add some of these features)

7.5

Verdict

O2's version of the BlackBerry 7100 offers a smart design and a custom main screen. It's a capable email-centric smartphone, although it lacks Wi-Fi and an expansion slot.

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
