I had this phone for the longest time. No matter how many times I dropped the thing, it was determined to continue working. Perfect for any txter because of the full
QWERTY keyboard. I used the phone for everything it was worth and I paid less than $100 for it like 2 years ago. I feel bad for the Verizon and Alltel people out there because they are required to upgrade to a Blackberry plan in order to use this phone. I personally think it is one of the better, more reliable Blackberry phone that RIM has come out with. I realize it does not have all the features of the newer Blackberrys but most people I know don't even use 75% of the features of their phone.
