I am a prime example of someone who doesn't need a BERRY. I had a sidekickTWO like my other friends, whenit broke I took it to another level. If you know about the SK2, you know the 8700g is much more phone. Sometimes when I'm out older business people see me BERRY'N and ask for tech Support. I happen to know my way around this phone. I love it

I didn't think I would need my BB, but thought it would be a fun toy for myself. Now I can't put it down, ever. I use it for business getting the wholesale rate sheets emailed right to me and keeping in touch with all my clients via email. But it is mostly used for fun...
