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?</font>
Battery life bad? That was a big concern of mine.

Luckilly, I find it excellent. It doesn't seem significantly worse than monochrome, and the resolution is very good for this type of device.

I do find web browsing very useful, mainly because people email me a lot of links quite often, and the GPRS is fast enough, and the browser good enough, so that I can actually look up the links -- it is practical.
