Review

X. First strike against the Blackberry is that the Desktop Software that you put on the PC to backup, sync, and otherwise communicate with your BlackBerry via USB cable requires Microsoft .Net framework. It fails to recognize already installed "newer" versions of .Net and proceeds to install an old version, which fails to install. Good quality software does _not_ require .Net Framework.
