BlackBerry Tour 9630

This is my second blackberry and i love it. at first i had the curve 8330, it wasent that bad but the only thing i really liked on the phone was the keyboard. it was slow it shut off whenever it felt like it and it would freezee all of the time. now that i have the tour, its amazinggg! its fat the tracballs better and the LED key board lighting is the best i can see all of my keys clealrly now and its just the best thte internet is so.so but the phones great for texting and emailing. but the bad feature is the charger port placement and the dicontinuation of the wifi feature. the chager port is at the bottom of the cellular device and its hard to use the phone while on charge. but overall i love the phone~

I absolutely hate this phone as do most people I've talked to about it. The only thing it really does well is messaging. Though you may have to do a battery pull when you realize that you just received a big dump of messages all at once that were actually sent some time ago. The out of the box OS when this phone released was poor and the updates made it somewhat more bearable. The internet browsing is so unreliable as to be essentially worthless unless you happy to be having a lucky day and have an emergency. Tried the Opera browser which is even less reliable than RIM's if a bit faster. Have had to pull the battery because Opera wouldn't respond to the trackball. Seems to me that Verizon should only charge for SMS and email on this device because for all practical purposes this is all that it can do. I'm pondering paying out of pocket for a Droid phone to get me through the next year before my 2 year contract is up and I can cancel my data plan. Really irritates me to pay $30 a month for email access that I barely use. What a mistake! This is not a consumer phone. Unless you are a business user, don't bother with this obsolete POS.

I like to try a new gadget whenever first come to the market, my phone the longest use only 2 - 3 months after that i have get bored. But this Blackberry I have owned almost a year now and i have no attention to changed to other smart phones, of  course i also tried SE X10 Android and no doubt it also tempting BUT once again But never want to change my BB, the functions is amaze me - how easy to track contact, push email (although other smartphones have tried but no succeed) and of course the BB messenger. As I said before although i stick with the BB but I have tried 8310, 8520 gemini, 9000 Bold (i have lost it), and now end with 9630, so far i have satisfied with all. this new one 9630 i have two complaint track ball and battery - and that's it, but i am consider to change to 9700 although have small memory compared with previous one but those two requirements i think the most vital amongst other.
