The Good: Compact; color screen; nice built-in keyboard; real-time e-mail; Web browser; Java support (J2ME); compact travel charger and syncing cable; decent battery life.
The Bad: Lacks speakerphone and memory-expansion slot.
The Bottom Line: So long as you have decent T-Mobile coverage in your area, the BlackBerry 7230 makes an excellent smart phone.
