Title: Are Blackberry phones any good?
Post by: 1FasterBlaster on November 17, 2007, 12:29:00 AM
  I was thinking about getting one. I was just wanting to know if aanyone has one and if it's any good. Do they hold up, or brake easily?

I have a Blackberry and a Motorola "moto q" The moto Q blows away the Blackberry. It easier to use, a tad bit thinner/lighter, Windows based. I bought a mini sd card and keep every document and picture that I want on there. It's a mini pc is what it is.

My father has one he likes it. I think there are better ones out there. Like my brother has a windows based LG phone that is alsome. I feel the blackberry is to hard to navigate for me to bother with it.

  I have a LG now. It's just a nice flip phone. I'll look into the other LG's .I haven't heard of the Moto Q. I've never been big on Motorola, but I'll check it out. Thanks.

Like Scooter said, It's nice to have e-mail, tasks, calendar and all of that on your side. Whats really cool is when a customer/client/whatever needs a document you can start an e-mail/attach doc and send just like you would from your PC. Check out the Q, It's a great phone.

I have a BB 8700 and I love it.  I have had it for 2 years and it works great.   It is connected to my corporate email and RR email.   I can't live without it.

  I looked at the Blackberry and the Moto Q today. Some really nice phones. They are kind of big. I"ll probably stick to my LG phone . The new one will most likely be for my girl.
    I can't tell which one is better since I never really looked for all the options with a phone before.

I can buy any phone I want and I bought the Moto Q. I really like it. It is an easy phone to operate and seamlessly integrated itself with my office calendar and e mail. Lots of great features.

It all depend what you want out of it too.  My mom carries both an iPhone and a Blackberry, (company phone.)  She was a Blackberry user for years before she got the iPhone.  She definitely prefers the iPhone, not to say it's perfect, but for her it's better then the BB.  I know other people that prefer the BB though.  It tall depends what you expect out of it.  I like my iPhone because its really friendly to use, syncs well, and replaces my ipod.  Having full access to my e-mail, and a full web browser is just a plus to me.
