Quick review

The good
Size, camera, BlackBerry interface
The bad
Screen a tad too small to read big emails on, keypad takes a little getting use to, no 3G
Verdict
Where the phone will succeed is those looking for more messaging, but not prepared to go for the rather large full Qwerty keyboard option already offered by RIM
