Decent

I guess it's good....bought it for $35.00 off eBay. I don't regret buying it, but it's not perfect. It's a bit outdated now, since it's 2008. I will be getting my Blackberry Curve 8330 in the mailbox by Sunday, so this phone will be replaced, but it is mobile packed. I use it for my business needs. YES, it does cover email and all the mobile apps. I hardly have any trouble loading emails and browsing the web, although with an outdated system, loading takes about 30 seconds per page. I do not really apprieciate that fact. Overall, the style isn't that bad. It has the keyboard, and what do you want. Atleast it works.

Great Phone

I love this phone, I fought tooth-and-nail for it when it was at EOL. I finally got it and fell in love almost instantly. I'm a total tech nerd and this phone was basically my wet-dream come true. Highly modifiable and customizable through several 3rd-party software.
All in all a very good phone but it still has its hangups.
Poor memory managment. I like WM2002 for that and this is running WM5 but they threw out the memory management feature. Device to SD transfer is pretty quick however its slow to react to anything when coming out of sleep mode and the notification ques tend to get a bit clogged preventing alarms from going off. Other than that its a real good phone.

I took my phone to the Caribbean, St Thomas and Tortola BVI. The I830 worked beautifully across the waters. I even recieved text messages and was able to pull up the internet. I am planning another trip in 2008, can't wait to use it on that trip!
