The Triband for me is useless for now as T-Mobile US still has 900MHz roaming in the UK on Vodafone and O2... So I'm not forced to get one.

I have a 6210; which is quite good.

You can actually use the blackberry browser to access information on intranets (if so setup) as data is passed to the blackberry server in your company...

My only big issue is the time they take to switch from the 900/1800 band pairs and 1900Mhz... even with the latest software it still requires a reboot when changing from a 900 (or 1800) region to 1900...

If I can get our IT folks to swap out my 6210 for a tri band (color or b&w) I would take it.

BTW: Battery life on the color version seemed fairly bad compared to the B&W. Do you find web browsing is good enough on GPRS to really require color for the amount of time you use it... Or do you just end up keeping your blackberry pretty much charged all the time?
