Got this as my work phone 3 months ago. I love it. It combines phone, email, PDA, GPS and MP3 player all one. Also managed to load up videos (convert from DVD using Seabyrd technology) which look pretty good. Stuck in my own 4Gb memory card, and I usually use a bluetooth earpiece. For stereo sound I bought a special 2.5mm 4 pole jack converter - about £3 on ebay. I can sit on a train, read my email, browse the net, talk on he phone, listen to music, watch a movie, and see where I am and hat speed the train is going. Fantastic !

This blackberry 8820 wifi is the best phone Ive ever had! I love this phone, I was able to connect and get on to my msn also gmail,I was able to look at things I usually look on my laptop for.I love the way the msn looks also the qwerty keyboard easy to use, got use to it very quikly,the roller ball was new to me but easy to navigate anything I need,love the screen,its like a mini pc,I just love this phone,I don't even have a sim card in it,I turned it on after charging searched for a connection and was in my hotmail within minutes.So far I have not had a problem with this phone.the phone was a bit pricey but I am not going to complain cause it got wifi,no data plan needed.

This isn't so much of a review, as a statement; if you're looking for a PHONE... DO NOT GET THIS!!! If you're business minded, or wanting more from a phone than just the ability to make calls, send text messages and play music then... GET THIS!!! I just read through a few of the 1 star comments and couldn't help but think "fools", as they're probably A) Pay as you go users (and therefore limited to only a small few of the MASSIVE number of brilliant features of this phone) and B) Between the ages of 12 and 18, wanting to use the phone to send their mates random messages and pictures "from Friday night". To all those folks I say this: Paris Hilton has/had a Blackberry not only because she sends messages to her mates, but because SHE IS IN BIG BUSINESS! That's the part of their (Paris and celebrities like her) lives that E! doesn't tell you about; it's all business. So when you bought this phone in an effort to be a bit more like her/them... You were just being a fool. One last thing... Orange warned me about getting this phone; the woman said "This is primarily a PDA with phone capabilities; if you're looking for a phone, don't get this; I can advise you on other handsets that you might like". At the time I thought "Don't tell me what phone to get; I've done the research and I know exactly what I need for my business", but now I'm glad Orange are warning people about this as there are clearly a lot of kids out there wanting to get the next "it" thing out of America and thinking this is one of them! PEEEEEEEEEACE!

Got my first Blackberry because of its WI FI capability plus seemless interconnectivity with my network. Not yet tried using it internationally but believe it will work as billed. The e-mail function is superb. First time been able to bundle all my e-mails in one (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail and company e-mail)!! Not even Outlook does that. The GPS is a great addition! The capability to bring up various programmes to the desktop right on your fingers, BBC news, CNN, Calender etc!. Have used Nokia 9500, 6120 and others but this 8820 from Blackberry is in its own class. Rate it "Outstanding". Francis, USA

Got this recently, and as an emailer you just can't beat it! Emails come in like text messages and the Blackberry services are dirt cheap these days. The keyboard works well. I'm a big fella with hands in scale, and I've got no problems at all tapping out email messages in no time. The GPS is a cool extra (but get Google Maps instead of the Blackberry app) and Wi-Fi is very useful indeed - most of the time I'm on a wireless network meaning email retrieval is free! OK, so the 8820 doesn't have a camera or a 3.5mm jack, but it's an email machine and the best there is at this job. If you want a multimedia powerhouse, get a Sony Ericsson, but you buy Blackberries to keep in touch and this is by far the best, least compromised Blackberry.
