JiWire's quick take
Likes
BlackBerry push email handling, Quad-band EDGE worldphone, small & sleek, fast Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, laptop modem capability, audio & video playback, 1.3MP camera, great data plans.
Dislikes
No Wi-Fi, keypad difficult to use, no video recording, MicroSD slot behind battery, inferior desktop sync software.
Good for
Email-centric business users who want a inexpensive, yet good-looking phone with some multimedia features for playtime.
Bad for
Speed demons who will chafe at EDGE throughput, and multimedia mavens who will also look elsewhere.
