Blackberry has developed an amazing phone and an amazing phone operating system. I have been through three generations of iPhone and two generations of Android (my current work phone is the HTC One X) and the BB has a lot of compelling features that make you more productive. What sets this phone apart is the ability to easily multitask between applications and the ability to isolate work related communications from personal communications. There are no buttons needed, you navigate around using swipe gestures. True one-finger navigation. On the back-end Blackberry has implemented ActiveSync technology to enable Outlook & Exchange sync. Below I have some links to set up Outlook sync or simple Outlook import.

Want to try Time Shift Camera (great for group photos)? Select the camera app, tap the camera icon in the top corner, select the icon that looks like a face in a circle. Take a picture.
