The Blackberry 8820 has been critically acclaimed as god amongst smart phones by many established magazines and reviewers. It was from such reviews that led me to choose this brilliant device.
In the past I had enjoyed the nokia platforms. Based upon the same base operating system, operation is generally easy to pick up. But as my mobile contract with Orange (UK) draw to an end I needed something that would replace my mobile and my Dell Axim 51v. I also wanted emails on the go.
So it did not take long to decide on the Blackberry 8820.
The phone it’s self is well made, it is sturdy and does not have that cheap light plastic feel that many phones have. The screen quality is sharp and good. You can view images and even videos (encoded correctly on a memory card) appear good. Features include, wifi, bluetooth, gprs to name but three.
The functions of the 8820 are aided by the full qwerty keyboard, no more T9 rubbish! Email, texts and phone functions are brilliant.
The added software, free from Blackberry, of Yahoo messenger and Face book, are very useful.
As the Blackberry format is doing so well Google have recognised it and given it Google maps ( see my review).
The phone is an extension of my PC, a computer on the go. In fact I wrote this Blog on it.
Once you have a Blackberry you will never turn back!!
