User Review for BlackBerry 8820
BB is still the one to beat
Oct 21, 2007Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Excellent email client; Very fast interface;
Cons: Price.
Opinion:
This is still the one to beat. The CNET review mentions two cons:
1. Slippery keyboard (I did not experience this at all)
2. Proprietary IM client (easily solved with downloading an Opera Mini for Blackberry and using one of the many online services that allow you to use Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, Skype etc such as Meebo)
Touch-pad and stuff from HTC is fine, but the device looks hideous, and more importantly, the MS Windows OS is dismally slow. The rest of the devices are not even in contention, not even Nokia's E61 which is just a clunker. If you're looking for a decent business-class handheld, BB is pretty much the only one, but one hopes they'll offer 3G in their next model, and I'll be a satisfied camper.
