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… read full review »

Not worth the money !

JUL

2008

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… read full review »

I recently got my first smart phone a blackberry 8830. I love this thing. There is so much you can do on it. I never miss emails and can keep in touch with friends with Yahoo IM. I highly recommend this smart phone to anyone looking to get one. Yes, I have seen fancier ones such as the Moto Q but, that one drains the battery quickly. I know numerous people who have it and they wish they had gone with the… read full review »

Lightweight with great business features - not an iPhone

I love my Blackberry 8830 and would not buy another phone on the market. That said, I still have plenty to complain about. First, the multimedia access is severely lacking. Yes, you can play MP3s...but has anyone at RIM seen a real MP3 player lately. I don't expect it to be an iPod, but maybe a Zune? Plus, for me the MP3 player chews through the battery such that I can't use it and get a full day out of the thing. — — Second, having the web browser is great, but after having played with an iPhone its just not good enough. — — Third, with… read full review »

I am very very happy with my Blackberry 8830 World Phone!

I was having trouble with a previous phone, the Motorola Q, and replaced that phone with the Blackberry 8830 World Phone. It was the best switch I have ever made! This phone is very user friendly. It features a full keyboard which is great for texting. The only con I can say about this phone is that it does not have a camera. Overall I am completely satisfied with this phone, and would recommend it to… read full review »

This is an outstanding and stable phone and is available in the US from Sprint and from Verizon. It's lightweight, dependable, full of useful features, attractive, and easy to use. — — 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… read full 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.

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. —… read full review »

I used to despise Blackberry use as a phone, but this edition is so clear and easy to use that I love it. I used to have to carry a Blackberry and a separate phone which was a juggling act. Now, I can direct both business and personal emails, text, call, get online, use GPS, and much… read full review »

I can't get as technical as TheBard but I can tell you that I've had cellphones for the last ten years and this is by far the best. I live in a state where poor cell reception and dropped calls can be the norm but not so with this phone. I also love the GPS feature. … read full review »
