The company I work for decided about a year ago to rollout BlackBerry's to a few select individuals in the company-including me; I am after all the email administrator. And as such I got to integrate the BlackBerry service into our email infrastructure, and pick up a BlackBerry device-a BlackBerry...

I purchased this phone prior to its release, based on the ads. I paid $500.00 for this device from Sprint. I loved the look, it is sleek and modern but that is where it ends. The phone doesn't have a camera and no sound. You have to purchase additional software in order to hear and see actual feed from...

My husband is self-employed which offers us the luxury of lots of family time and family travel but it is imperative that he is "connected" to his business along the way. Once upon a time, a lap top and a cell phone allowed him to go but always tagged along. A couple of years ago he invested in a Blackberry and was impressed that he could get any e-mail or fax message anywhere, even in the middle of a river.
Then the Blackberry 8830 World Phone came available and he decided to try it.
The result: We ditched the cell phone all together and use the Blackberry 8830... review »

Second, having the web browser is great, but after having played with an iPhone its just not good enough.

I was looking for a new handheld for business use, and this phone caught my eye. I support 100 users of various mobile devices, and have had plenty of experience with Blackberry, Palm, and various Windows devices. I wanted something that was going to be stable and useful without being bulky or difficult to use. After some careful research I decided to go with the Blackberry 8830. My company didn't have a Blackberry... review »

The Blackberry 8830 is a great phone. It is the best cell phone I have ever had, and much easer and user friendly than the palm windows mobile smart phone. The biggest negative is that there is no camera built into this phone. I am reliant on my phone, a busy person, an Every day computer user, and a woman who enjoys quality. I am a technology lover, a pet owner and expect good, fair service. I am not rich, but am technically savvy. I depend on calendar and contact list, and am a pc-and mac user.I am value conscious and am impressed with this product, and glad to have it. I am willing to pay...

I love new technology but technology does not like me. I try to stay current with the times but some of the gadgets have handbooks the size of a dictionary. I bought my Blackberry World phone for one reason only. I travel over seas and needed a cell phone that would keep me in contact with back home. I have tried other phones and the calls either would not go through or dropped. I have tested this phone several times over seas and it sounds like you are in the other room with the person on the receiving end. Simply amazing.
What was better yet, is the fact that the programs installed are easy...

Pros:
The call quality and organization features are great.
No restrictions on where you can travel.
Good size.
Reliable.
None of the issues that Mobile Windows phones have.
Cons:
There is no camera, which I use constantly
The keyboard takes a little getting used to
The track ball also takes some getting used to
It is not as easy to sync to the office network as a Windows Mobile phone, especially if your company restricts the email server, as mine does
Overall, if you are a business professional and are using the phone... review »

A great PDA overall - quick loading, great functionality. Only drawback is the lack of hard-wired memory (those memory chips are really expensive), and the poor functioning video support in the media player.
The screen is the best I have seen besides the IPhone...but with the verizon rebate it is quite a lot cheaper.

I love my Blackberry 8830 World Edition. Blackberry is still the king of phones for business and emails.
