The good:The RIM
BlackBerry 8820 is the first BlackBerry to offer integrated Wi-Fi. The smart
phone continues to offer Bluetooth, GPS, and push e-mail capabilities as
well as push-to-talk and multimedia functions. We were also impressed by the
long talk-time battery life.
The bad:There's no 3G
support and no option for a camera version. The QWERTY keyboard can be
slippery, and the device uses a proprietary instant messaging client.
The bottom line:The
addition of Wi-Fi makes the RIM BlackBerry 8820 an even more powerful
communication device for business users, taking it beyond just e-mail and
phone calls.
