REVIEW CRITERIA

When shopping for a new phone, people treat it as if they are buying a new house or a new car, like their lives depend on it. It is not an easy decision to make, but when you know exactly what you’re looking for, things can be a little bit easier. For one thing, the price is a big issue. Costumers generally want more for less. BlackBerry products give you just that. The most expensive BlackBerry out right now is no more than $199.99, which is the BlackBerry Bold with the newest software and technology. You can even get a BlackBerry Pearl for as little as $49.99. Compared to other phones with the same technology, the BlackBerry is relatively cheap. Another thing to think about when looking for a phone, especially if you are a businessman, is the great use of computer software to make this PDA type phone easy to use for business and work. You can sync all of your e-mail accounts with your phone, download Word and Excel documents straight from your computer or e-mail, and it is very easy to make conference calls with several people. Costumer service within the company is also a big factor. Many everyday people don’t usually think about this until the day something goes wrong with their phone. The BlackBerry website has many different pages with useful information to help you if something happens to your device, as well as a phone number to contact for emergency help. There is even a Community Forums page to check out. The last and most important thing buyers generally look for is how easy it is to navigate through the phone. BlackBerry software makes it very simple to use their products, so people of all ages and with different technology backgrounds can use it without trouble.
