Well, this is my first BB set because of my requirement with the corporate BES server.
First, if you are a reliance customer you can go for a cheaper option. This phone is available in the market for GSM providers at around 18K, but if you want to use for Reliance you "have to" buy it from reliance because open market 9630 will not be able to register with reliance. So you go to any web world and shell out 28000Rs to buy it. A clear diff of 10, 000 with the market. I took HDFC credit card offer in reliance for 12 easy 0% emi's. It was a life-saver.
Reliance don't offer EVDO (3g) in Bangalore as of yet.
Reliance don't offer sms application downloads like tata sky+ mobile recording application software.
Reliance sucks at night when you cannot even watch proper youtube. Choppy videos and horrible b/w makes it a call only phone. So why should I shell out such a huge sum?
The phone stops responding at times when you are watching youtube or just changed themes. It simply goes blank and comes back after a few mins.
How the hell in this phone you do a hard reboot? I did not get that. So unless someone teaches me that (without the idea of taking out battery), this is a Cons to me. Only time I am able to do it when some apps install/uninstall requires it. Else, it's always soft reboot.
Why in this world, the Blackberry apps ikon vanishes from menu whenever you change the theme?
Camera/sound is ok. the 3gp videos in computer/TV full screen was ok.
16Gb micro SD card support solves my problem of mp3/video storage.
Reliance does not allow anything more than 3meg for mms/email attachment. Unless this is the same case for other SP's, this is a Cons.
why in this phone 160 character sms would be a limitation? Shame for such a phone. I am not sure if BB/Reliance, who is responsible for this.
How can you install apps in micro SD instead of device memory? Device memory is limited and I have not seen anything that will help me in installing apps in media card. So unless I find a solution or someone points me, this is a Cons to me.
I am not a tech guy for analyzing phones. But have tried to list my daily life issues. Not a very qualitative review, I guess. But I would have gone for a cheaper BB had I known this earlier. People getting it in 18K should be happy, I guess.
Best,
