BlackBerry 8800 Review

BlackBerry devices used to only be seen as business tools, but the life-friendly BlackBerry Pearl blew that idea right out of the water. Now the BlackBerry 8800 merges the best of both worlds.

Combining a mass of multimedia extras with a slick look and a full QWERTY keyboard, the Blackberry 8800 is leaner and more angular than most other Blackberry devices. The result?  A lean, mean communication machine.

This version of the Blackberry comes with a big, bright screen that has a high resolution and provides a crystal clear display in sunny conditions. It even has a light-sensing screen that adjusts lighting levels automatically, providing the user with a great viewing experience regardless of the weather.

For typing, the keyboard is a little on the squished side. Despite this fact, the raised edge on each key makes them surprisingly easy to use. The 8800 also features a trackball directly below the screen, which is great for multidirectional scrolling.

The BlackBerry 8800 is packed with a wide range of communication features, including email with attachment capabilities, instant messaging, GPS, web browser, lots of organiser functions, as well as a media player.
This BlackBerry can also connect with computers and other compatible machines using either the headset jack connection, Bluetooth® technology or a USB connection between devices. The mobile phone also supports EDGE, a speedy and efficient technology by which you can conduct high-speed data transfers between devices.

The 8800 comes with 64 MB of built-in Flash memory and can also take MicroSD™ memory cards. Battery life is also not to be looked down upon, as the BlackBerry 8800 boasts around 528 hours standby battery time and up to 5 hours of talk time.

In the end this mobile phone is great for the businessperson who also has a rich personal life.
