Bucky, IMO the Blackberry’s suck! You might as well carry a laptop, again, JMO! My friend tried one for his company (State Lottery) on trial, I helped him out with the messaging both voice and text, as well as figuring it out (big book!). It was a real pain in the azz, it was also too friggin' heavy and at the same time too small. OBTW, the AT&T service really sucked too!!!
