Somehow the 8800 doesnt have the visceral desirability of the Pearl and it doesnt have WiFi or 3G. But with GPS and a QWERTY keyboard its undoubtedly a more capable business device, especially if you want a BlackBerry with a full keyboard...

Like the look of the Blackberry 7130g, but still having trouble hammering out emails at speed while negotiating other pesky pedestrians? Then RIMs latest offering, the 8800, could be just the ticket. The latest in the line of portable email addictio...

Full QWERTY keyboard, Trackball, GPS, Whacking battery life.
