DONT BUY THIS PHONE,
I live in MX and bought 2, they are not unlocked and wont work on the telcel network
save your cash , DONT BUY THIS PHONE, unless you are going to use it on the Verizon network in the states, I also tried the black berry fourm to unlock them
with no luck , just spending 9 $ more each, a waste of time and cash.

|Like it better than my HTC Evo for everything but internet and games…,
I use a Blackberry 8830 World Phone (on Verizon) and a HTC Evo everyday. The BB is my work device, and I own a HTC Evo as my personal phone (on Sprint). Using them back to back, I can say first hand that for most of what I do, the BlackBerry is the better device.
PROS OF A BB 8830
1. My BB has been reliable,
2. Allows for quick email response wheenever and whereever,
3. Is great for calls with a bluetooth headset. connects without issue and is pretty clear, few dropped calls (bluetooth dropping off, which happened all the time with my old Palm Centro)
4. The basic functions work well – datebook, contacts, to-do’s, and memo’s… I used these for years on the Palm and while the BB is not as good as the Palm was (sigh), still works well enough.
CONS OF the BB 8830
1. Internet isn’t the best… When I finally upgrade to a newer device maybe that will get better
2. Don’t like the roller ball – I like the touch pad that you find on the newer Curve.
Advantages of the BB over an Android phone (for me – BB vs. HTC Evo):
1. Less buggy – my BB crashes only a fraction of the # of times that my Evo Android phone does.
2. Reading and deleting emails is FAST on the BB – I can review 20 emails in about 2 minutes, tops, on the BB, including brief responses and deleting masses (when needed). On the EVO, you have go to the separate delete screen and pick them there… And reading and replying is slower, driven by the keyboard in particular.
3. Like the memo and to do applications – not as good as Palm (10 years ago) but at least they offer native applications for this kind of stuff (Android does not!!!!).
One man’s opinion, but I sometimes wish I’d skipped the Evo (and the extra $10 a month for 4G) and gone with a personal BB (in addition to my work BB).

|Awesome,
I thought it was awesome for the price, it has alot of cool features to it.
Theres only a few things i dont like about it, its the scroll button theres no faster alternative. it takes me forever to scroll through my messages. I like how its complicated with so many options on everything. I dont like simple phones, they get boring. But it also doesnt play videos on the internet. I love the music player. overall i think this phone is pretty amazing for the price
