Corporate users now have an updated 8800-series BlackBerry with built-in GPS and T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling ability, but individual consumers may still prefer the BlackBerry 8320 Curve on T-Mobile for its camera and sleeker design. from Pcmag.com The 8820 might be the priciest of the bunch, but it also might offer the right mix of features for BlackBerry fans. from Infosyncworld.com The OS can be a little tricky to learn if you've never used a BB before but, once you learn it, you probably won't want to go back to any other. I've used an iPhone but prefer my BB. And with the release of BlackBerry's new "AppWorld", there's nothing really that an iPhone has over the BB's. Great phone for anyone looking. from Amazon.com The 8820 offers a truckload of features without overwhelming the user and it can be easily customized to fit its owner's needs. It is a very good email device and it performs well as a phone and mobile Web browser. from Amazon.com I get my email's and text's and phone calls all the time. I work at Verizon wireless as a tech and i see people have issues with their phones all day. Out of all the pda's i see on a daily basis blackberry's are the least with the exception of the pearl. Treo's freeze and crash all the time the blackberry is simple and solid. from Amazon.com I think my major issue with this product is the calendar and address book. Microsoft Vista Home Version eliminates Outlook. And the RIM Desktop software doesn't have it's own. So the user has to enter the information in Outlook and then synch the Blackberry with the desktop computer. from Amazon.com After using an iPhone for the past year, to try something new, I got the "top of the line" blackberry 8820. Why would anyone buy this product unless their company made them?? from Amazon.com -Desktop is customizable -Voice activated dial feature -The applications that come with the RIM are easy to install and uninstall from Amazon.com I used the Blackberry 8820 ("BB8820") for about the past month before replacing it with a Moto Q 9h. The phone is definitely very solid and user-friendly, however, I am moving to an area with 3G speeds, and I could not stand the idea of having 3G all around me through the duration of a 2 year contract with limited EDGE speeds. from Amazon.com Blackberry's success totally blows my mind. They have a horrific OS, Constant Sync, Issues, a total lack of applications, and are ugly as sin and clunky. from Amazon.com

Description

The BlackBerry 8820 offers the push e-mail that Blackberries are known for but with a flashy new design thanks to the pearl that sits in the center of the cell phone and acts as the joystick to select menu items. Access to the Internet, multiple e-mail accounts, GPS locating, expandable memory, voice activated dialing and the Blackberry 8820 can even be used as a modem when hooked up to a PC. The BlackBerry 8820 also allows users to connect to a wireless network to use the Internet and other data services.
