Anyone have a Blackberry?

I was just wondering, do any of you guys have a Blackberry, and if so, is it worth it? It looks quite a lot bigger than a normal phone, guess it has to be to accommodate the qwerty keyboard, but I like the idea of having access to email and net on the spot, rather than lugging a laptop around with me.

Any pros and cons? I can get a good deal on rental through a family member in the trade and he's pointing me towards the 9700 model. I need it to be fairly robust due to the biking / camping activities I put my phones through! :lol:

I've got the latest Torch model and I love it. I've never had a BB before and it did take a little getting used to, but now I am familiar with it it's a cracking bit of kit.

Also very handy for me is the UMA feature that allows me to make calls/send texts through my wireless router. Far better than balancing on the kitchen sink trying to get a signal :wink:

Ok, some good feedback there then! Is it really that much bigger and more hefty than an 'average' moby phone though? I'm not the kind of woman who lugs a handbag around everywhere with me, I just stick the phone in my pocket.
