PDA Street - 6/5/2007 - has tested the BlackBerry 8800 cell phone and they write, “If you’re a long-time BlackBerry fan who prefers the bigger screen and full QWERTY keyboard of the PDA models, the 8800 is a logical upgrade path. It’s smaller and lighter than past models, supports more applications and functions. And most important, it offers GPS navigation, making it a dream come true for travelers.”
IT Reviews - 6/5/2007 - has tested the BlackBerry 8800 cell phone and they write, “In general the non-e-mail related features aren’t as advanced as they are in some other smartphones, and the BlackBerry 8800 remains primarily an e-mail device with some other extras built in, rather than a strong all-rounder. It is definitely more for professionals than consumers, and I guess we shouldn’t expect it to be any other way.
A final word of warning: steer clear of this device if you are the smudgy-fingered type, as its casing picks up grease easily.”
Xyzcomputing - 4/12/2007 - has reviewed the BlackBerry 8800 cell phone and they write, “It was no surprise that in the BlackBerry 8800 RIM delivered the ultimate mobile email machine. Despite all the competition nothing can touch the Blackberry and, with the 8800 as its flagship, the company is poised for continued success in the business market. The phone’s style, performance, and long list of features means that it will be very attractive to non-business users as well, though the choice is harder for these people as products like Samsung’s Blackjack can do email well and it throws in some of what the 8800 leaves out.
The 8800 still caters to business users but reflects a growing concern with user-friendliness thanks to the influence of the Pearl. This trend is one that will broaden the appeal of the Blackberry and make it possible to build the right phone for any user. The 8800 is quite high-end and still business-oriented but it is hard not to like it if you value its strengths. More casual users and those in need of a camera (as all as keyboard fanatics) may have to look elsewhere, but Blackberry’s core user group, as well a mobile email fans, will be impressed with the product.”
PCMag - 4/9/2007 - has reviewed the BlackBerry 8800 cell phone and they write, “If ease of use and e-mail are paramount in your world, the 8800 is the ultimate device at the moment, and the music and video players are just good enough to be fun. But power users may lean towards the Samsung BlackJack instead, with its higher-speed modem and better music and video syncing with Windows Media Player.”
