BlackBerry 7520

Blackberry NOT for Mac Users!
The phone is a beauty, it is great for getting emails. But that's all she wrote for MAC users. Otherwise it is pretty useless. Maybe it is NEXTEL's fault?
It took days of research to find recently released 3rd party to even get it to synch data over the USB cable, but that is not bundled with the device, which I have not had any success getting to sync with my MAC.
And forget about bluetooth...that's only good for the headset, won't work for data synch or modem.
AND it simply will NOT work as a wireless modem with my MAC, which would be a saving grace, since I cannot us the 7520 to browse the internet with any success except for seeing the first couple lines of text on a small percentage of sites. Most pages won't load at all. IT SIMPLY DOES NOT SEE HTML, even though I have the $100 monthly unlimited plan.
I can get a $50 phone and plan from Sprint that will do this in a snap. I thought the Blackberry would do at least this...
So what good is it to a MAC user.. it's just another expensive gadget and slavery to crappy technology.
I can use a $20 device if all I need is to check my email
IT's just ok
Beware this unit will only do pictures if you are hooked to bes server.
Gps is just for 911 no directions yet.
(it's the law)
the battery life is the same as the 7510
the blue tooth is nice and works well
this unit is only $149.00 so you can't go wrong.
I started out with a 6510 nextel has came a long way. Just think the price on this unit is $149.00 thats a deal and with the antenna it gets exceptional reception.
