RIM BlackBerry 8700g Smartphone

Pros: Great for managing your calls, emails and text messages in one easy to use device
Cons: ...just as long as you don't need to use the internet for anything...

Ahhh, yes... the company phone. How I like it so... My employer (standard disclaimer: I work for AT&T's Wireless division, so please keep that in mind as this product is one that we sell) has thoughtfully provided me with a RIM Blackberry 8700 ...

Pros: Great business tool, email, sounds, speakerphone, the list goes on...
Cons: Battery life could be longer, other than that nothing.

This phone is possibly the single best invention, besides the flushing toilet that has changed the world today. Greater than the airplane, greater than the combustion engine, and even greater than penicillin. Alright I might be exaggerating but this is ...

Pros: Size, features, ease of use
Cons: Spotty phone reception but could be T-mobile, still talking to a brick

My review may read like I am knocking the Blackberry 8700g but I really am not. It has the same shortcomings that I have experienced with all my Blackberries which will probably lead me to try the new Motorola Q or Treo in the future. However, it gets ...

Pros: Beautiful, easy-to-use interface; great PDA
Cons: QWERTY keyboard is a bit tight

I was tired of carrying around a relatively heavy date-book (and four different highlighters) in an attempt to keep track of my insanely busy life; thus, I began (albeit belatedly) considering a PDA device, and was intrigued by the idea of integrating it ...

Pros: Brighter screen. Better phone features. Stable (as always)
Cons: Not as good radio reception as before. No memory card yet.

I run the IT department of a company full of crackberry addict (for those of you who don't know what "crackberry" is, its those people who can't survive without their blackberry, and for good reason), so I feel obliged to write a review about this. ...

Pros: screen, keyboard, speakerphone
Cons: size

I am one of those sad people who is entirely too addicted to the Blackberry. I check it first thing in the morning, when I go to bed, at meetings etc. I get between 75-150 e-mails a day, and so mowing the in-box is a never-ending task. So when my IT ...

Pros: bright screen, quick reliable email service, good features
Cons: small buttons, tmobile coverage, limited ringers, no camera, no voice dialing

This phone was given to me as a gift. I was told I needed to have email on my phone as I wasn't answering it at home. I don't conduct business on this phone as many do, it is really for the email function and my other family members have T-mobile so ...

Pros: Great keyboard, bright screen, long battery life
Cons: No MP3 and no camera

I went from a Treo 650 to Blackberry 7100g to the Blackberry 8700g. The 8700 is just fantastic. The screen is ultra bright and surprise, surprise, the battery life is awesome. Where I had to recharge my 7100 every 3 days or so, I can go a week with one charge on my 8700. Internet is much easier to use than with the 7100 and faster as well. The QWERTY key board is great as well. I bought this because I could not stand the awful keyboard on the 7100 and I was not disappointed. Phone works great and the speaker has great sound.

I bought mine unlocked on Ebay and I just put in my SIM card and was ready to go in 2 minutes. The Intellisync synchronization worked great.

Pros: Fast Internet Connection spead, QWERTY keyboard
Cons: Size

I was the proud owner over a Motorolla Pink V3 RAZR untill one weekend i was out of town and missed an email from my boss, then he slapped this blackberry on me.....

Overall the voice quality from your end to the other party is a bit distorted but that can easily be fixed with a blue tooth headset........

Email works well, and connection to the internet is faster than i believed

But what makes me love this phone is the fact i can connnect it to my laptop to than gain an internet connection from virtually anywhere.......

4 out of 5 stars
