The BlackBerry Style is another storming handset from RIM. It's easy to use and does the job almost perfectly

Research In Motion BlackBerry Style

 

The flip phone is a dying breed, but RIM is trying to bring it back with its latest handset, the BlackBerry Style ($100 with a two-year contract from Sprint; price as of October 27, 2010). The Style sports a compact design and the latest version of the...

The compact BlackBerry Style is ideal for heavy messagers who don't want a light handset, but photo junkies may be disappointed with the mediocre camera.

BlackBerry Style Review

 

Before we begin, feel free to take a look at the unboxing of this purple people eater over here: [UNBOXING] to see the excellence in the box and the niceness of the feel of the phone in the hand. Then look below to see how actually working with this...

This is a phone for people familiar with the BlackBerry OS, people that’ve used a BlackBerry phone before, and those who have a strong love for the BlackBerry system. I found it to be a phone with alright capabilities, and it’s always cool to be able...

BlackBerry Style Review by Taylor

 

The BlackBerry Style is the first of its kind for RIM. They've had flip-style devices before, but this is their first full-QWERTY flip phone.

Fairly cheap price tag ($99.99 with two-year contract after $100 mail-in rebate); “new” clamshell design; easily pocketable; no butt dialing; BlackBerry 6; decent camera; good battery life

The screen is almost at too much of an angle, very glossy face, easily scratched and fingerprint magnet; the keyboard is a little different from any other BlackBerry and I found it a little difficult to get used to ; The Verdict: The BlackBerry Style...

Being the first of its nature for RIM, the Style is an example of passable execution. A huge benefit to this over its brother, the 9650, is that it ships with BlackBerry 6, but using BlackBerry 6 without a touchscreen is just plain weird. I know the...

BlackBerry Style Review

 

Research in Motion goes back to the drawing board to come up with a flip device that doesn't have the drawbacks of the Pearl 3G. The end result, the BlackBerry Style, combines a full QWERTY keyboard, a sleek design and all the features of BlackBerry OS...

The BlackBerry Style has a lot of reasons to love it, and just a few things to hold it back. It has a good design, a solid build and a very strong operating system. I personally like the style and shape of the device, but I have heard some dissent on...

Good, but needs some work in some areas

 

As I'm in the mobile phone industry, I get my chances at a lot of new and older phones, it's really fun to mess around with them and find out the weaknesses and strengths, may it be a new or older phone. This one I can say without any type of doubt, is...

"Great tool, durable, easy to use phone,Text or email"

 

GREAT device for people who use a phone and text as a tool not a toy. Durable, reliable device. Strong, stable OS. Everything a professional person needs to stay in contact, whenever, wherever no matter what. Keyboard could be a hair larger with keys...

Slim-small pocket sized, maller than most . Outside/inside screens. Qwerty keyboard. Very Durable. Ive dropped, stepped on and smashed it. No probs. Stable OS. I don't reboot for months and no probs.

Keyboard keys could have a more pronounced dimple on them for better tactile feel
