I love this blackberry - it is smaller then the "standard" 8310" and it saves space by doubling up on the keys. As your keys have dual letters on them it uses a typing technology called SURETYPE. This is not predictive text it uses software to understand what you are typing and you need to give it about 30 minutes typing, for the blackberry to get used to you. You correct the word once and it will remember that spelling forever.
Sat Nav very useful for driving or walking and saves spending extra money on a standalone sat nav system.
Emails are fantastic - wherever you are it will pick your emails up and you can add your business emails and hotmail style emails as well. very simple to add. And I have found the support people at Vodafone very helpful if there is an issue.
Syncing with your laptop is easy once you have set it up and it will sync with most Email systems to update your contacts, calendar etc.
Battery lasts about 2 days with low use - goes much quicker if you leave sat nav on so make sure you shut down sat nav when done.
Camera allows for video as well as still pictures - and then you can sync those to your laptop very easily.
Facebook is a new app that is standard on blackberries and allows you to update your status.
For information the 8110 model has sat nav - the 8100 model does not have sat nav.
