Pros: Fast Data
Cons: Not 4G? With the 4G network up and running an a lot of major cities, is it just a matter of time before we get a 4G Blackberry.
Camera:
5.0 MP
Pros: 5.0 MP is an improvement over the 3.2 MP on previous models
Cons: Camera is placed mid-device, camera should be moved to the top of the flip so fingers don’t cover the lens or flash.

Pros: Keys seem a little bigger then previous devices
Cons:
1- While it’s not a major change, I liked the red numbers on the keyboard.

Suggestions for future versions of clamshell Blackberries: The wasted space between the screen and the keyboard could be used for quick launch keys for Blackberry Messenger, Internet, and or mail.
