Blackberry QWERTY Keyboard?
-
I was just surfing the Vodafone India website on the Blackberry section http://www.vodafone.in/vodafone/VBS/Pages/blackberry_ent_8310.aspx[^] I was wondering whether the QWERTY-style keyboard is of any use by the way on that little mobile?

Yesterday is a canceled check. Tomorrow is a promissory note. Today is the ready cash. USE IT.Sure is. Having decent emailing capabilities, browser, etc, it is quite useful when traveling to keep up to date with what's going on in your organization. Having to type emails and post entries in your planning tools comes very handy with a QWERTY keyboard.

But is handling the QWERTY keyboard on the blackberry a bit tedious compared to a more bigger and wider desktop/laptop keyboards? :confused:

Obviously some focus group thought it was.
"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." - Ellen Goodman

Yes. I use it regularly. I was using a Treo 680 and personally I feel BackBerry Curve is much better. I am able to check and reply my emails, calendar etc. I will be changing this to a Windows Mobile device (either Black Jack II or AT&T Tilt) probably by Christmas time and hopefully that would be much better. I corporate world BlackBerry is still the king though Windows Mobile devices are catching up really fast. Thanks, Madhu
