'The bad: There's no 3G support'

'no rich desktop-style Web browser'

'large attachments could take a great deal of time even if you were on the fastest wireless G connection possible.'

RIM BlackBerry 8800
What reviews say:

'the EDGE speeds of the BlackBerry 8800 seemed pokey'

'Text editing also benefits greatly from the ability to zoom around with one quick motion of the thumb on the trackball, rather than having to click a dozen times on a d-pad or nudge a joystick around for a minute.'

'The level of serious multimedia support is woefully inadequate, bringing to mind the audio/video "support" seen on the Palm devices of two or three years ago.'

'Lacks a camera.'

RIM BlackBerry 7100
What reviews say:

'new layout may take some adjustment'

'The idea behind predictive text technology is to reduce the number of keystrokes needed to enter a word and improve spelling without having to resort to the text-message shorthand largely indecipherable to most people over the age of 30.'

'the battery life is a small fraction of the duration you'll get'

'The SureType keyboard on the RIM BlackBerry 7100i takes some acclimation'
