the new Blackberrys

Are better if you have small fingers.

I miss my old model with the metal keys and the thumb-wheel on the side (though it would have destroyed my right thumb after much longer use).

This new one has had setup problems, some of them due to my unfamiliarity with the new design including the track pad, which seems over-sensitive.

Now the phone is working but the email isn’t working yet.

Funny, I made it all the way to 2006 without ever owning a cellphone, and got one then only because it was given to me as a gift, from some friends in Jordan who owned a small cell phone company. But now I’m pretty much crippled in daily life without a smartphone.
