Tedious and slow. BE is really awkward on it.
BTW I find the sound reproduction on it terrible, I'm assuming that it's my electronic ear but is it the BB?

As for sound quality, for calls mine is ok, but I've never used it for playing mp3's so I don't know if it's any good or not.

Love my BB for texting and emailing, but internet browsing is crap! It's very slow and the screen is too small. Am looking forward to upgrading to a Iphone in the near future.

I struggle with browsing on my BB too. Tiny screen, difficult to navigate and seems slow. It's even worse now I have an iPod touch and have got use to that.

Re: Internet on blackberry comments from users
the iPad is basically a big iPod touch which albeit I think the touch is great as a pick up and go browser isn't great as your only www source. The iPad nor any iPod doesn't show flash media therefore a lot of the www eg BBC. Site video links cannot open. Also the memory is small compares to a pc. If you wanted small you'd be better off with a 10". Netbook which IMHO. Ofer more for a lot less. The iPad is a great gadget I want one but not sure what i'd useit for as o have an iPod. Touch and soon an iPhone.btw reply written on iPod touch

I have use the bb for a couple of years and found surfing a nightmare and only really used it for emails. Now got an iPhone and would never go back. Touch screen qwerty keypad is great and surfing is a breeze. Only issue is lack of flash player for some websites
