Blackberry 8800 Review

posted by: Vlad Akilov

Since being released last September, the BlackBerry 8800 has made a lot of noise within the industry. After all, anytime that BlackBerry releases a new device it is safe to say that consumers and experts are going to take notice. Even though there were some people who were skeptical upon its release, the BlackBerry 8800 has proven mostly everybody wrong. The fact of the matter is that this is a great device, and for the most part, it suits the needs of every user.

The first thing that you will notice about the BlackBerry 8800 is its sleek and stylish looks. Even though looks should not sell devices such as this one, when it comes to consumer perception, it is something that is always front and center. The 8800 features the new pearl like trackball navigation in the middle of the device, instead of the side scroll.

When you add this to the full QWERTY keyword, there is no wondering that first looks draw so many buyers towards the BlackBerry 8800. (more…)
