The battery has improved and BlackBerry promises up to 10 hours of battery life. Software features include the BlackBerry Hub, which lets you manage your contacts, calendar events and social communications. The Documents to Go app lets you view and edit MIcrosoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents. The phone's digital keyboard learns as you type.
