This product has the potential to be excellent, unfortunately I found out after the fact, Cellio does not have drivers to support BB Bold 9650 OS 6.0

Very Satisfied With Redfly
I have owned this product for about 2 years and have had no problems with it whatsoever. It opened a whole new world in regard to my relationship with by "Blackberry Super Computer". I dont normally refer to my BB that way but for the purposes of this Redfly review it really is appropriate. I am still however in awe of the seemingly never ending things that the BB can do - and I have an older model - can only imagine what the newer ramped up memory models with larger screens can do. Ill end my declaration of BB love there and get to the matter at hand. The Redfly is a well built, solid, feels like quality when you pick it up machine. It is as user friendly as a device that does what it does can get. Plug and play really doesnt apply as youre dealing with the pairing of two devices from different manufacturers that naturally require bridging software to be downloaded to the BB to allow communication between the two (said software is free from the Redfly website and doesnt take up a lot of space, and it is a quick download). If youre like me you will initially think and feel that youd prefer to just plug it in and start typing, but that would limit the capabilities of the Redfly since it is also compatible with other devices such as iPod, iPhone, etc. Read the professionally and grammatically correct instructions guys. Resist that urge to wing it. The instructions are short, easy to understand and will save you a lot of time and head scratching. Once youre up and running you will most likely quickly become addicted. I even gave up my regular Internet service for a while because with the Redfly I could do almost everything I could do on my regular net-book. The genius of the Redfly lies in its simplicity. No OS to cause problems, update, purchase additional software for (like anti-spam/anti-virus), and no disk that constantly collects junk that needs to be cleaned. Quick synced response when hardwired via usb to BB, little slower when connected wirelessly via blue-tooth. I opt for the wireless simply for convenience sake. The connection is rarely lost. If you are into games requiring split second responsiveness though, you will want to connect it via usb. I really like that the Redfly does not heat up like laptops and net-books and that it is light weight and ergonomic. You can also use the hdmi port to hook it up to your big screen TV if your TV is newer with hdmi ports and PC settings. I set the Redfly, closed or open, next to my 36"LCD TV and lay on the couch 10 away and use my BB like a wireless mouse/presenter to control it. If I have a lot of typing to do, the Redfly screen is fine, and the keyboard sooo much better than the BBs small keys for large multi-page documents. I could go on, but I think Ive given enough details and examples of use for most readers to get the idea about what the Redfly can offer. I was initially skeptical when reading the ads but took the chance and am very glad I did; although not cheap, it was well worth the money spent.
