Review: I have only had the phone for 5 days, and at this point, other that the camera I prefer my old Blackberry 8700 which I have given to my wife. I might swap!!
Pros: Thinner, lighter and with camera now
Cons: Not terribly keen on new trackball, would like the + - to be used as up and down cursers

Should be able to set one of the side buttons to unlock as well as lock.

Old style list menus not available

Not able just to plug into a laptop to use as a modem.

Unable to add to address book direct now, there is no menu for add new address.

The unlock method of having to press 'A' and send together is very cumbersome


Score: 6/10
