Let me get this straight. You rather use a phone that takes forever to charge, with tiny keys, with an os that crashes, a bulky battery over the 8830 Blackberry? SERIOUSLY The 8830 Blackberry is the slimmest to date with the most stable os in the busines

Previously owned an 8700. I use for both personal and business, nice enhancements over previous models I have owned. Haven't played with media player yet, but expect that will bring an additional level of satisfaction once I sync videos. First use
I love this phone. Voice quality is excellent (both incoming and outgoing). THe only reason I don't give it 5 stars is the keyboard is a little small, and difficult to use for extensive text typing. Otherwise, a great device.
I love this phone! I've had it since it launched. It's beautiful, my calls are clear, I get few if any dropped calls. I am running several third party apps such as standalone messengers, GPS etc. and hands free voice app (I know that it came wit
I have had my 8830 now for about 4 months and I must say that it is the best phone I have had in a long long time, and I have tried and own a lot of cell phones. Below are some of the items I have noted over the last few...

Albeit, it was a learning curve for me as this was my first "smart phone". I won't go into all the details of what it took to get this phone to fully function correctly (some me, some Sprint). I've had to deal with Sprint on a few occa
