A couple weeks back we looked at the Redfly Dumb Terminal for BlackBerry. Almost immediately I wrote it off as utter garbage and as a poor attempt to make the idea of a “buddy device/companion” for gadgets better (or even useful at all.) Much as I thought, JK On the Run had a unit to test out and found the same thing to be true. The device suffered from extremely poor navigation problems brought on by the Redfly’s trackpad input as well as god awful screen rendering issues that caused the once crisp and clear Berry screen to look like absolute hell on the Redfly’s. If I had to wager a guess, I’d say that a software update could cure the rendering woes. The navigation issues seems more like a deeper fix though still possible with firmware alone.
Should you but it in hopes of software upgrades? No! At $250 with the problems highlighted above, this thing is crap. Do yourself a favor and stay away. JK goes on to say a previous model reviewed last year that was WinMo specific worked wonderfully. Brownie points I guess, but then there’s the whole issue of looking at WinMo in the first place. *Thinks for a minute….* Yuck.
**Sidenote: The image may not look bad at all but it’s resized, go to JK’s review below and look at the full size images and you’ll see how bad the screen looks…
