Hi all BB user and lovers !

My name is Bruce, I'm 33, I'm french.

After a year using a Nokia N70 (which was never (almost) turned off for professional reasons), the battery being exhausted, had a few drops down and... the Nokia OS is soooooo F*%&é§! sloooooow, it was time for a change.

I live and work in Paris but I travel almost one week per month (on a regular basis) all over Europe. As a matter of fact, I'll be in NYC next week for a 10 days period !

The Nokia N70 was fine but lacked of email features. The battery dying slowly, the OS crashing frequently...

We came up with the Blackberry solution: push email seems to fit our needs. XL battery life is a must. I was definitely searching a real professional tool and I think I've found it.
Of course this BB 8820 is provided by the company I'm working for.

I'm a Mac user and I've seen it's now possible to sync the BB with Entourage. What a relief !

I'm going to browse this forum and I'm sure I'll find many interesting topics !

Cheers,


Bruce

Hey Juwaack,

Thx !

To be honest, my only concern regarding the BB is:

• Weight ( I've found the N70 quite heavy... )
• A bit cumbersome
• I'll be reachable 24/7... which was already the case...
