Until this phone came along, my favorite phone up to now was the Nokia 6100 handset. the old big handset with an antena sticking out. Why? Because it was a workhorse, the battery life was good, it functioned well, it was easy to use and it was reliable. Since then i have had many phones and like them more or less than the bricky 6100.

Why compare this blacberry with infinitely more functions to this old favorite from the 90’s? Because it also is a workhorse. It does the job. The battery life is phenomenal. I cant tell you how many business trips i took with this phone, forgetting the charger and was not upset because I knew it wouldn’t let me down.

its also great internationally. I have traveled around the world with this phone, literally and it did its job. Its a solid performer. And yes, there are newer slicker versions of this phone out there, but for reliability this one is going to be hard to part with.
