Overall :  Excellent, no fuss, no nonsense low cost shaver Bought at a price of: $26
Uses 2 AA batteries - lasts for about 1 yearFirst, let me say that I hate rotary shavers, from my experience they just don’t shave close at all.  And the price, my god, I wonder what their profit margins are like.Now on the other hand, the Braun foil style shavers actually work nicely.   It’s based on a vibrating broad comb that’s placed against a perforated metal screen and cuts the hair follicles as they pass through the screen.

Blackberry curve.  (My previous phone - Audiovox 5600)
Overall  :  an excellent phone - this is the phone that I’ve been waiting for. My particular phone doesn’t seem to shutdown properly.  Its not a big deal, as I just take the batteries out and put it back in, and I rarely need to shut it down anyways.   
I’ve had it crash about once per month.  I haven’t been able to figure out why though.  Might be one of the java midlets I’ve installed.
When I have the password activated, it seems to sometimes take a while before the keyboard begins to respond - its not in a crashed state though, my guess is that it’s waiting for something to start from sleep mode.   Addendum: I just discovered that if I press the back/escape key, I get keyboard response back.
Make sure you remember the password that you’ve programmed it with, otherwise, if you’ve typed in an incorrect password over 10 times, the blackberry device will automatically wipe it’s memory clean.
2 mp built in camera is ok, but don’t expect much on what seems to be essentially a pin hole camera.  This camera comes with a neat led flash, useful for those impromptu pictures at social gatherings.  Pictures seem to get easily washed out if there’s a bright light source in the field of view.A micro sd flash memory card can be used.   However, like many other phones, it’s only accessible by removing the battery.   Also, there’s no protective cover on the camera, so dust and crap tends to accumulate on top of the lens.   Micro sd memory cards are tiny!  I almost misplaced my brand new card within the first hour of using it.On the Toronto Rogers network, I’ve never had any real issues with signal quality or sound quality.  Really wished they had service in the underground subways though.The google maps included with this blackberry is totally cool.  Works very smoothly and easy to use.   However , it must download the maps of the areas you’re interested in.   Ok if you’ve got a decent data plan,  but horrible if you’re roaming in another city and have to download data at higher costs.   What I do is use google maps on the blackberry before leaving town,  that way , the maps are precached in memory.  There’s no information about the size of the cache or a way to redirect the cache to your sd card. Not sure if the logitech bluetooth headset is the problem or the blackberry, but I’ve had some problems connecting to each other recently.   Repeatedly starting and shutting down the headset wouldn’t work,  neither does starting/stopping the bluetooth settings on the blackberry.   Rebooting the blackberry did work though.
