I purchased this phone when my contract with AT&T was completed, so I could pick any phone I wanted. I have always heard good things about BlackBerry phones. I expected a lot from a phone that costs this much.
I have not been disapointed with my choice at all. It is clean looking and easy to use. Everything is where it belongs.
I had a samsung Blackjack. It was a nice phone but the quality and performance of the BlackBerry is in another class.
I have kept my same carrier (ATT) but I am receiving calls is areas I could not get them before.
The GPS works nicely. It is the first phone I connected to my computer that sinked with Outlook with out any issues.
The phone is costly, but worth it.

This is a really good all around mobile device. It is much more than just a phone so calling it just a cell phone would be innaccurate.
A couple of things about the device stand out in my mind.
The screen is probabbly the most amazing part of the device. It is rich and vibrant, it blows the I phone away in terms of color depth and clarity.
The device speaker actually plays in stereo, again one step above the i phones mono output.
The only sore point is that the camera is a bit weak. Although it is a 2mp camera the imagesare ery low quality, and blurry. But its a phone, so you can't expect SLR quality. It owuld have been nice to have bit better picture quality, but that isn't a real drawback for me. Some who like to use their phone as to take picture may find it to be a breaking point.
In all i really like this phone, it is a bit pricey, but when you factor in all that you an do with it, the price seems a little less steep, but still steep none the less.
