6820 Blackberry question
I'm looking for some feedback on 6820's Blackberry offering. Has anybody set this up yet? I'm looking to purchase this phone and dump my current RIM 957 so I can have just one device. However, I would love to hear some opinions first.
Thanks in advance.

This product is unfortunately not shipping with the RIM client. My contact at Nokia says they removed this due to the continuing litigation that RIM is involved in, and Nokia wants to have no part of or involvement in that! (They have lots to lose....) The RIM client may well be a software upgrade that comes out later, or it may just be a new model (Nokia 6820i, perhaps?)
My advice: if you like Blackberry, and just want a cool phone, then buy this for the caliber of phone it is, and keep your BB for e-mail. Then you get the larger screen for e-mail, etc., which is much better than trying to read a lot of e-mail on a small 128x128 screen. I have a BB 7210 and have one of these 6820s on order for my voice/tethering device (EDGE rocks!)

Thanks for the replay, Jim. I think I'll take your advice and stick with my Blackberry. Now that I don't plan on using the Nokia for corporate e-mail, I may just look at another phone. Once again, thanks!

Hi, read your commentary today and wonder if you can help: T-mobile customer service says they don't support 6820 but on their website, can download settings for wap, t-zones, and/or t-mobile internet. If i sign up for their $19.95 unlimited internet access plan, and download the settings via their web site for t-mobile internet, will I be able to download POP3 email from the 6820? Will i need third party applications?
To complicate matters, a client 'gave' me a new Treo 600 which t-mobile does support and which would accomplish the above...however i like the smaller nokia and travel extensivel to asia....so more often than not have at least two mobile phones on (USA T-mobile for family emergencies plus local asian numbers).
Thank...
