Feel:
This phone simply feels like a million bucks. It feels classy. If you've never held a blackberry, find one.
Screen:
This screen is massive, both tall and wide. fits apps and browsing the web well. also makes great for tapping out emails.
Keypad:
love this keypad. tactile and rich, the feel is worthy of your thumbs. i've already got a mild case of blackberry thumbs :)
Backlighting:
i love the backlighting on this thing. it will automatically adjust based on the light you are in. walking outside is great when it makes the screen brighter, or pulling it out in a meeting, i don't have to worry about being blinded
Speaker
Internal: Great, clear
External: Best speakerphone I've ever used, handsdown. Full Duplex...love it! Ringers come across okay, but not M1 or M610 clear. Better than QCP though trust me!
Let's get down to the REAL BlackBerry stuff...
Productivity:
I currently have BBWeather, Opera, and BBDiagnostics installed on my 8703e. I'm also BIS, but waiting my setup to BES soon! Push email, love it it love it love. Also love the fact its so easy to sync with outlook, thunderbird, etc. I will be installing TeleNav next month (want to make sure Sprint didnt' screw up my plan too bad)
Keyboard Comfort:
QWERTY of course. Feels good, and the spacing isn't too bad. You won't get tired tapping out an email or text. I've done a few couple paragraph emails and only found myself having to take one quick break (and i said i have blackberry thumb already!)
Use as a phone:
This device is great to use as a phone, a PDA, and anything else you need (short of an mp3 player). This device is a perfect fit for me and I think i'll be in the blackberry family for some time to come.
Overall:
This phone beats my 9k only because it is in a class all of its own. This phone beats the crap out of the 6700. hands down. The keyboard is easier than a 700p/wx/650, to me at least, but i have fat fingers.
Only issue:
I find the phone to be a bit laggy for a fast typer like myself. Nothing huge, just have to wait a second for the numbers to catch up sometimes.
thanks to Cal for doing a trade with me!
