Like the , the BlackBerry has the new BlackBerry form factor with that attractive, slim body and trackball control, a microSD card slot, Bluetooth 2. The camera-less BlackBerry is designed for corporate users who require more security in their working environment.

The enterprise channel sales of the BlackBerry starts on May 14th and the consumers will be able to buy the device and services in Verizon stores and on Verizon web site starting May 28th The silver housing and chrome side panels look even better than the BlackBerry in dark blue. Silver can make a device look classy, and it certainly is the case with the BlackBerry The BlackBerry is the same size as the measuring in at 4.

Though the keys have more pronounced edges for a better touch-typing experience compared to last generation of BlackBerry phones, they feel smaller. The locations of letters, numbers and symbols have not changed from the BlackBerry series. But the menu controls and directional controls have changed from the series. You will move the cursor or browser selection using the trackball, and takes action or make your selection by pressing down the center of the trackball.

The BlackBerry menu key and escape key flank the trackball; and the call send buttons lives to the left of the menu key and the call end button lives to the right of the escape key.

That means no popping in a local pre-paid SIM when traveling abroad to save on call costs. Reception on Verizon is good using the BlackBerry It gets full signal strength in well-covered areas and half strength in spotty areas. Voice calls have good quality with clear voice and loud volume. Voice through the built-in speakerphone is also clear and loud, making the BlackBerry a good choice for conference calls via the speaker.

The BlackBerry supports popular phone features including call waiting, multi-party calling, call forwarding, speed dial and more. Voice dialing over Bluetooth headsets also works well.

We noted that the phone's ringer was unusually quiet, even at the highest volume setting. Email download and web page loading are both quick. You can read more about push email in the Software section of this review. The desktop mode keeps the web page layout intact and offers a thumbnail preview where you can move your cursor to select an area of a page you wish to view. It works similarly in concept to the Nokia S60 web browser found on the Nokia E62 and N75 and in the Thunderhawk web browser, but lacks the readable preview format that the S60 browser has.

This gives the phone lower power consumption than other GPS receivers, and the ability to use "Assisted GPS" from cellular towers for faster location fixes. During my testing the receiver obtained and maintained a strong signal, though my testing was limited to the mostly suburban areas around a major city Cincinnati. The version being offered by Sprint has GPS enabled now.

The mAh battery, rated for five hours of talk time or a very impressive 22 days of standby, is a bright spot for ththis device.

Unlike some of the newer BlackBerry phones, the and offer almost unbelievable battery life and outperform most smartphones from other manufacturers. The BlackBerry is a logical upgrade of the and is the perfect smartphone for world travelers who need full access to email, address book and calendar, but also want GPS map tools and a built-in media player. Bottom line, globetrotting business professionals will be hard pressed to find a better solution for mobile email access and little multimedia fun.
