In what class? Against other blackberries? Because the keyboard on the xv6700 is the best keyboard of any PDA/blackberry, hands down. ---

It’s a slide out keyboard, and you can’t dial one handed on the key pad once it’s open, yes it’s clearly the best…but the above issues with the design of the device stop it from being the best keyboard for a pda/phone. > [@Daddie](#): > > btw, link ? Verizon and RIM announced it…it was on Mad Money last night… ---

Ah, true. Although you can dial one hand no problem, actually i use the phone 1 handed a lot. in that sense, I’d say it is great, but the keyboard on the old 950 series rock. ---

That part of the phone is a pain in the ass, I completely agree with you there and one of the reasons the Treo was good. I can cope with it though. ---

I like it. All of the reviews on howard forums were good for the most part? I am not a big touch screen guy… I was considering getting two lines, a normal phone and the audiovox 6700, because i didnt want to have to carry the 6700 around all the tiem, but the PDA functions of it would be perfect for my business use. The Q came out and its a nice marriage of a smaller phone and the PDA capabilities combined. ---
