OK This is how you enjoy FULL HTML (including FLASH sites) on a mobile phone, with Triple DES Encrypted Corporate Email ( MS Exchange, Lotus Domino, etc) & or personal email (ANY POP3/IMAP 4 such as Gmail, Yahoo, MSN email too). Furthermore this is the FIRST RIM device that supports expandable memory (MicroSD) - you can ENCRYPT the card or password lock it too - along with a Media player (just about every format for audio or video is supported), and a slick navigation - Trackball (and yes RIM had this device certified for quite some time before HTC announced their Artemis device).
NOTE: the Trackball's sensitivity of response can be adjusted, as well as the ability to turn ON/OFF Mass storage mode, or allowing it to automatically pop up when connected via USB or not!
Completely state of the art. Now remember this is RIM's FIRST try at a device with a Camera (oops I forgot to mention a 5x Zoom 1.3MP camera with FLASH), expandable memory card, and MP3/AAC playback ability (amongst other audio/video playback codecs!
> After the W810 I will be buying this device (mostly work related as I'm a level 1 Blackberry focal).
PS. ALL this functionality is very fast & responsive provided by the OS based entirely on Java!
