I am now all "BlackBerried" up and so far I have to say I am impressed (apart from the emoticons issue).

I had a few niggles getting my personal e-mail sorted and the Bluetoooth connectivity isn't as logical as it could be, but other than that - pretty damn good.

Wenchy, you have to get yourself one of these!
Yes Wenchy... click here immediately...

The friends I know who have one seem to be in service to them... constant pinging midst meal or conversation  noooo:

The revelation that Madonna has her's under her pillow is indictment enough. I almost warm to the idea of Will Self filing the Volvo logo off his vehicle's cylinder block in anti corporate, focussed rage  spider:

Indeed Wenchy. I have VP in a RP thanks to it.

The "maps" on the new BB are pretty bloody good too - who needs a SatNav!

And the camera - a "mere" 2.0 megapixels is very good too - although doubtless the crystal clear screen helps.

Battery life wise - I charged it on Friday morning and by this morning it was down to 40%. Not bad considering I've been fiddling with it (the BlackBerry...) most of the weekend. I have also altered a few settings (like "Screen Brilliance") which should reduce power requirements.

Grot on Google image search is also extremely clear  redface:

I never bother using my camera phone. I have a perfectly adequate camera so why would I bother!
