Product Reviews

Smart phone, or Dumb phone? Jun 11, 2010
1.00 1/5.0
Pros:
Large screen, trackball, smooth interface, family phone.
Cons:
Shuts down, restarts, hard to charge, buttons hard to press, mushy, trackball may fall out.

Review: Do not get this phone. Get a smaller, lighter, more usable phone.

Doing What A BlackBerry Does Best Dec 9, 2009
4.00 4/5.0
Pros:
Sleek design, solid email client, usable trackball, good battery life
Cons:
Doesn't feel as good as it looks; mushy and closely spaced keys

Review: Get used to the mushy keyboard and you'll find a very versatile productivity tool.

Not the Greatest Sep 15, 2009
3.00 3/5.0
Pros:
Screen is big and bright
Cons:
Phone turns off "radio" when low on power, typing is aggravating

Review: It's OK, but I think I would go for a Windows based phone with better keypad.

Business Travelers review of Blackberry 8830 "World Phone" Jun 14, 2009
3.00 3/5.0
Pros:
Bright screen, mute/volume/speakerphone buttons at finger tips. GSM and CDMA support
Cons:
Big, Chewy flush keyboard, no camera, Blackberry OS crashes once a week.

Review: The 8830 is a good phone for world travel with easy buttons for the important things. However there are newer phones out there that should be considered.
