It's an older model, but I think it just fine to start out with. Depends on what you plan on using it for more than anything. Load it full of taxing social apps like social scope and you'll soon outgrow it. Use it for the basic BlackBerry features, and it will perform beautifully. May I suggest you spend some time in the How-To forum, and looking at the Lecture Series? You'll be a BB wizard of knowledge in no time. ;)
