I went away from Rim and tried a UT/Starcom 6700 for a month.
Holy shmoly...what a pathetic piece of shite!! :-o
Sure it did all kinds of crazy stuff...but it really didn't do any of it well at all. I even tried 2 units.
The bluetooth headset worked intermittently and the units would freeze up once or twice a week, the phone sorta worked but had a very low volume and a useless speakerphone.
The unit was heavy, clunky and had absolutely terrible build quality. The pathetic battery wouldn't even last a normal workday with normal use. :-o
The huge slideout keyboard was nice though.
I went to a Blackberry 7130e this week and am so happy I could cry (Ok mybe not quite...but close). Its great to have something that is well designed, well built and actually works for my business and personal needs.(y)
