Beautiful display. Integrated GPS ideal for business travelers in new cities. Easy email setup wizard and full QWERTY keyboard means youre always connected to the office. Long battery life for such a large device.

No WiFi or 3G web connection. Phones shape makes gripping it awkward. Call quality is sometimes muddled. Media player seems like an afterthought. Nonintuitive menus make transferring music and video a pain. Those with sausage fingers will have problems wi...

Great e-mailing phone, PEARL navigation, Great Screen, Stylish, Memory Card Slot (Hot Swappable).

No Memory Card Bundled, No Camera, mono-handsfree, Average battery Life.

The whole concept of BlackBerry revolves around business communication. Hence, this phone will most probably appeal to a business executive alone. A teenager wouldnt be able to do much with it, as it lacks the fun quotient. The BlackBerry 8800 is a...

With a sleek new look and the Pearls eponymous trackball, the BlackBerry 8800 is still all work, with very little play. Should BlackBerry addicts rush to upgrade?...

Excellent calling capabilities; best-in-class battery; slim design; trackball is great for navigation.

Dated interface; lacks 3G connectivity; creaky construction; multimedia could be better.

When thinking about the problems with the BlackBerry 8800, were tempted to paraphrase James Carville by saying: "Its the interface, stupid." The BlackBerry 8800 has a great feature set, including the well-designed trackball, GPS-navigation, an exce...
