“I ' ve had the Blackberry 8800 handset for over a year...”

Written on: 24/09/2008 by Rikimaru (12 reviews written)

I ' ve had the Blackberry 8800 handset for over a year now, as an upgrade to the Blackberry 7100. It took a friend who used one persistently to peak my interest in getting a new one and I am glad I got one!

When taking it out of the box the first thing I really noticed was how nice and shiny it was! A notion soon to be erased as soon as I touched it, it seems to attract fingerprints more than American airport security! But aside from that the box contents are pretty Spartan, it has a... (read more)

The Blackberry 8800 is a very good handset, easy to set up and use. The unit is heavy compared to other units but the build quality is superb. The one letter per key is perfect and although it looks crowded on the keys it actually isn't. (read more)

Written on: 25/05/2007 by Mustdriveslower (2 reviews written)

The Blackberry 8800 is brilliant. It does what it says on the can. Bluetooth connectivity and signal reception is brilliant. Email manipulation is easy and quick using the full qwerty keyboard and funky trackball which soon becomes second nature to use. I love this phone. The GPS is a gimmick but heck it works and I have resorted to it several times so maybe it is me that is out of sorts with the use! This feature worked in USA, France and UK but watch out for data usage as it seems to... (read more)

Pretty good equipment, making the Blackberry 8800 worth the extra money, full qwerty board .. reasonably good I would say. Better than handsets with inbuilt qwerty boards like P910i from SE. (read more)

  • About Blackberry

    BlackBerry, the classic handheld PDA device, was launched in 2002 by the Canadian company RIM - Research In Motion. BlackBerry delivers information over the wireless data networks and it is this ability to read e-mail received in real-time, which is part of the reason why BlackBerry devices are so popular. For many they have become highly addictive, earning them the nickname CrackBerry! BlackBerrys, are named because the keys and shape of the unity looked like tiny seeds in a strawberry. They do not have a touchscreen unlike many other PDAs. However, users find the BlackBerry interface simpler to use. There are now a considerable range of Blackberry smart phones and PDAs including the BlackBerry 880 and the BlackBerry Pearl series. Do you own a type of BlackBerry portable PC or mobile device?
