As a Blackberry user, I find having to check manually to see if emails have arrived very tiresome. At least a light flashing would be helpful. I really miss this after using Blackberrys.
It took ages to set up as there is so much pre-installed Google stuff that it didn't feel safe......
The keyboard is okay and the screen too but I much prefer the Blackberrys. Luckily I can still use some of those devices for basic things.
All in all, it is expensive in view of the above problems.
Update July 2023 - after struggling with this for several months - it now won't accept most apps from Play Store - I've given up and will sell it.
