2. Design and Operation, Conclusion

 

BlackBerry devices are hitting the market place at a staggering rate - nine new devices were introduced just this year alone. The newest wave of BlackBerries are tending to be "upgrades" to the Pearl, Curve and 8820 series devices. The newest feature - that has potential to be a "killer" feature is WiFi. While not new on Smartphones - this is revolutionary for a BlackBerry.

Recently, I had the chance to take a look at the new 8820 for AT&T. This is essentially the trusted 8800 (which has replaced the 8700 series) as the staple of Corporate America.

The 8820 is dressed in Corporate "Black" attire and sports the trackball (as do all the BlackBerries). If you are in the market for a BlackBerry - this might just be the device for you. Read on for a comprehensive look at the new BlackBerry 8820.
