Hello:
I've been asked by my boss to figure out which Blackberry to purchase. So far we've narrowed things down to a couple of important criteria:
(1) she really doesn't care much about the cell phone functionality, since she already has a cell and won't activate the phone features of the BB (although I am guessing she might consider doing so in the future).
(2) she would prefer to have a QWERTY keyboard as opposed to one that's on a cell-phone.
(3) email is the most important function for which she'll be using the device.
We're a small office and this will be the only BB in it, at least for now. We plan just to synch the BB to her computer running Windows XP.
A couple other things that I'm thinking (not my boss per se):
(4) Probably the longer the battery life, the better, all things being equal.
(5) I can see her demands for the device growing as she gets comfortable with it and learns all that it can do. So it probably shouldn't be a very basic device, if such exists.
Can you provide some recommendations?
Thank you!
