The email is the only thing that is even remotely good about it. And even then, I hate that it forces you to either copy the entire message into a reply or have nothing at all. Forget infix quoting. And I'm not really sure if it works as well when you don't have a Blackberry Enterprise... Read the full review →

I use this as my business phone and have loved it for the past 2 years. It does everything I want it to do.

The Blackberry 8800 series are most definitely a business tool. The phone is labeled the World Edition and it works great abroad.

It's been well over 2 years since it launched in the US, and Blackberry has long since dropped it as their flagship phone in favor of newer, more feature rich, models. Unfortunately though, since Blackberry has yet to discontinue... Read the full review →

I mainly just use this for making/recieving phone calls, texting, listening to music while waiting for class to start or... Read the full review →
