Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Great keyboard
  • Excellent display
  • Long lasting battery
The bad:
  • Lacks 3G
  • No Wi-Fi
  • User interface could be improved
The bottomline:

A very slick high-end handset with GPS support and BlackBerry's trademark push technology that's let-down by a lack of features now standard in most smartphones.

Editors’ rating:

7.6/10

RRP: AU$899.00
