    What's everyones opinion on the Blackberry?

    I am looking into getting the 7250, but have doubts here and there. It would be good for daytime use, but what about when going out at night. Is it a big rock in your pocket?

    Love the BB for business stuff, but way to bulky for everyday personal use. I have a BB for work/business and a regular cell for personal. I can have my BB calls forwarded to my personal phone.

    Love my 7250--but, DAMN, just like Windows PCs, the thing needs to be rebooted every few days.

    It is the perfect device for me while I need mobile email.

    Used one for a few years, but just switched to a Motorola Q. Smaller form factor, same functionality. With Goodlink, you get true "push" email. Worth a look before deciding on a BB.

    BlackBerry has the only true "Push" email. Where do you think Windows Mobile got the idea? (Please note I'm taking Enterprise level) In fact with Exchange SP2 which gives the Windows Mobile its "Push" technology is the feature pack that you need from the wireless provider. Without the feature pack all the phone does is get a text message from your mail telling it to check for mail.

    I have been curious about the Q until I heard it couldn't even use the 'copy' feature.

    I don't think I have ever seen a 7250 reboot. What version of the OS is on there? Do you have version 4.0 or 4.1?
