8800 Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The BlackBerry 8800 is packed with
a wide range of communication features, including phone, email,
instant messaging, GPS, maps, web browser, a wealth of personal
organiser functions, and even a media player. It's the most businesslike
of the BlackBerry series, but lacks 3G and WiFi.

I love this phone. But my service wont let me use the messenger
or facebook. i cannot use the bluetooth due to a fault in my phone.
and it needs a camera. however, when it come down to calling or
texting, it's the best phone ever.

I am using it as got no other option. No mobile with camera allowed
to my workplace. The only benefit of Blackberry 8800 as a smartphone
is email and nothing more. Even no wi fi...

After being desperate to own a blackberry, i took the plunge to
buy the Blackberry 8800. I had never owned a blackberry before but
the brand has been so well publicised across the world, i felt it
was time to give one a go! So i ordered it locked to vodafone and
started my use. The screen was nice and big and bright. Looking
at images was a pure delight on the big wide screen. The lack of
camera was quite strange as i had become rather accustomed to having
the convinence, but i have to say it wasnt missed too much. Sound
quality was VERY good i thought: nice clear sound (although sometimes
came across slightly tinny). The only thing i felt this phone was
lacking in was a nice looking UI! It felt a bit old fashioned and
not terribly user friendly. But you do get used to it after a few
days. One of my favourite features has to have been the way text
messages were layed out like conversations rather than starting
a new message. So overall i thought this phone was a definate sucess
in my books but could do with a better UI :D

While features and speed initally impressed, i can't say i was blown
away by the ergonomics and quickly decided to return it for the
more familiar feeling 8310. The keyboard is "tight" and the buttons,
whilst larger, have a raised centre making fast typing harder than
on the smaller keyboard of the 8310.

my 1st blackberry which was given to me for my dead xda orbit by
o2. after a disappointing start I am beginning to warm up to it.
The xda had so many features but did glitch or freeze quite a bit.
The 8800 is less featured but a very smooth operator and much better
looking too.emailing and texting is 100% but the gps is a let down
after using copilot on the xda. Hopefully this one last longer than
10 months....
