Pros:If you have exchange
Cons:If you don't have exchange it's a waste of money.

I bought the Blackberry RIM 950 about 18 months ago, with all their promises about wireless email they fail to point out the one important point and that is Microsoft Exchange Server.

Blackberry does not support the Internet Addition, which means that unless you are working at a big enough company that has an Exchange server running you are out of luck, they will tell you that you can also run Microsoft Outlook 98 for workgroups but if you run in to problems and you almost indefinitely will they’ll just say the they don’t “support” outlook just exchange.

Every time I’ve called them they recommended me to a different third party provider but none of them would even consider the blackberry 950.

With their other features they are pretty good, like reminders, calculator, tasks, an address book, memo pad, a search option and the option to connect to your PC and synchronize.



Recommended: Yes


Amount Paid (US$): 399.00
