RIM BlackBerry 8820

review DATE:10.04.07

BlackBerry 8820
With Earphones Front Back

review

By Sascha Segan

The new BlackBerry 8820 for AT&T adds three varieties of Wi-Fi to an already great e-mail handheld. In fact, this communicator's other attributes are so good that after my testing period, I was left wondering what benefits Wi-Fi abilities really offer. Independent of the Wi-Fi, though, the 8820 should be on any business customer's short list.

Bottom Line

The BlackBerry 8820 pumps up the businesslike BlackBerry 8800 with largely useless Wi-Fi. We'd rather have had 3G, but, hey, we're not going to turn down free Wi-Fi, and neither should you.

Pros

Great combination of e-mail efficiency, GPS, media, and no camera (that's a plus for business folks). Wi-Fi.

Cons

No 3G. No stereo Bluetooth. Not quite sure what to use the Wi-Fi for.
