RIM BlackBerry 8800

review DATE:03.02.07

Blackberry 8800
Full Set Front Angle

review

By Sascha Segan

BlackBerry handhelds traditionally help business people get things done, and the new BlackBerry 8800 does this better than ever. The 8800 brings BlackBerry Pearl style and media features to a "professional" class BlackBerry, though it's missing one key feature that will cause power-users' eyes to wander from the usual fruit basket.

Bottom Line

A tremendously effective messaging phone, the 8800 adds a trackball and music player to the traditional Blackberry form factor. But the lack of 3G high-speed wireless will be an issue for Web surfers and laptop modem users.

Pros

First Blackberry with full keyboard, music player and trackball. Built-in GPS. Blackberry e-mail is still unmatched in ease of use and flexibility of merging many accounts.

Cons

No 3G. No stereo Bluetooth.
