Decent Business Phone
Pros:
Size, keyboard, functionality, bluetooth, extended battery, texting, web surfing.
Cons:
Price - why not free with a 2 year contract? MicroSD is too tiny
The Bottom Line:
I would buy the newest version. Sophisticated and very useful. No troubles for 6 months.

Author's Review
Slimmer than other Smartphones w/Qwerty, full functionality, nice speakerphone, small buttons, good extended battery, good screen.
Bought it April '07 for $100 after rebate (which took longer than advertised, but as expected), and now-a-days you can get it for $50 most places with a new contract.
Overall I really like it, 4 stars. This is my second PDA. I use it for phone, sync with outlook, gmail, outlook mail, pop3 mail, texting. It is always with me, and doubles as my office nicely. It has microSD which I have put video and music on, and with 3G web surfing, it keeps me very occupied.
Screen size isn't ideal for gaming, so just got a PSP. Internet Explorer for Windows Mobile 5 doesn't work with all pages, recommend Opera. Same with Windows Media Player, doesn't play all files. So you have to spend a bit to purchase a better program, usually $20-30. Keyboard could have number keys stand out better.
If I had to purchase again, right now I'd get the blackjack again - probably the newest version which is even smaller. I prefer the actual keys to the iphone (although I haven't used iphone much), and the blackjack has everything, including camera and bluetooth, one could want. With a nice case, it fits nicely almost anywhere, and is overall smaller!
