The 8330's OS and interface are decidedly frumpy no matter how one attempts to dress them up with fake themes that resemble OS 4.6 or whatnot. I jumped through all the hoops and finally returned the thing when it dawned on me that the keyboard was always going to feel like light, thin, cheap, wobbly plastic, and the interface was always going to be a fake themed version of the current RIM OS.

I don't think devices loaded with anything less than the current OS should still be getting sold to consumers, much less added as new products to a company's handset portfolio.

I say all this as a means of warning anyone off who falls for the "yeah, but it's still a BlackBerry, right?" trap that I allowed myself to fall for.

Thank god I took it back before my trial was over and my 2-year contract set in.
