Let down by annoying keypad
We had five users trial the Blackberry 8100 but only one user wanting to keep it! The main problem was the condensed qwerty keyboard which they found hard to navigate. If you are used to txting think again – the layout is completely different. In addition the predictive text was terrible and we had to switch it off for all users. It even comes on when typing email addresses which never work. (how many email address/domains do you know that only use words from the dictionary?)
I do like the phone form factor but for our money we will be going for the Blackberry 8700 with a full qwerty keyboard.
