for 150, worth the money. its not a high end phone by any means. its sluggish , but not that bad, its annoying though none the less.

i finally figured out the static beep thing, turn all keypad sound off, also the trackball sound to mute, no more static noise.

the plastic used for the phone is matte black, doesnt look good at all, certainly have the cheap built quality feel to it.

check it out for sure, you might like it, i am keeping mine only because its a brand new design and its 150, and the new OS is good, but not that great.

one thing though, i was using the browser on google.com and searching for stuff just to test it, the search bar is longer than the screen width, the first letter i typed into the search bar doesnt show up which to me this is gotta be something RIM needs to get on and fix ASAP
