BlackBerry RIM 8800

BlackBerry RIM 8800
Editor Rating: 4.5 of 5

Legions of BlackBerry addicts have long traded style for functionality. BlackBerry devices were never at the top of anyone’s “Best Dressed Phones” list, and the BlackBerry OS looked positively archaic next to state-of-the-art phone platforms like Symbian and Sony Ericsson’s Walkman series. RIM took a big step towards changing all of that with their latest batch of handsets. Slimmer, sexier, and sporting an interface often likened to Apple’s legendary Mac OS, today’s BlackBerries are ... dare...

BlackBerry's 8700 series has been a hit with power email users who want always-on, real-time access to their email on the go.  Research In Motion initially released the 8700 in GSM-only configurations, but recently brought the handheld's roomy but compact form factor and big, bright display to EV-DO users.     The RIM BlackBerry 8703e for Sprint combines BlackBerry's beloved push email technology, QWERTY thumbboard and scroll wheel with Sprint's Power...

Editor Rating: 4 of 5

BlackBerry PDA phones have become so synonymous with on-the-go email over that terms like "BlackBerry Thumb" (a form of Repetitive Stress Injury) and "BlackBerry Addiction" (a form of, well, addiction) are becoming part of our cultural lexicon.  Ask around and odds are you know at least a few people who own BlackBerries, and at least one who feels utterly naked without theirs. BlackBerry has recently introduced it's first "consumer model," the T-Mobile exclusive BlackBerry...

BlackBerry RIM 7100g

BlackBerry RIM 7100g
Editor Rating: 4.3 of 5

The BlackBerry 7100g is an amazing quad band hybrid PDA. The 7100g is the same phone as the 7100v and 7100x. The excellent design makes it much more than just a phone. It is a phone, organizer, and a very much needed business tool. The new BB 7100g feels like the phone features are primary and PDA functions are secondary because of the sleek design. The QWERTY / numeric keypad is brilliant and it’s easy getting used to. The 7100g is not too wide and feels like a phone. Past BlackBerry...
