BlackBerry 8703e - PC Mag

BlackBerry-8703e.jpg

PC Magazine have posted their review of the BlackBerry 8703e communication smart device. 'The 8703e is the last of its breed: It will probably be the last BlackBerry with a trackwheel. While we wait for the QWERTY-equipped version of the BlackBerry Pearl sometime this year, the 8703e is bargain-priced, at just $199 after rebates from Sprint and $249 from Verizon (each with a two-year contract). With a pleasing size and weight, and a quality feel arguably superior to that of the Treo 700p, the 8703e nails the slab form factor.

It's thinner, wider, and at 4.7 ounces, a bit lighter than the much-loved Palm handheld. It's also all black, further emphasizing the corporate look. The 8703e gets kudos for its bright, sharp screen and easy-to-use trackwheel. I particularly appreciated the trackwheel's positive engagement and accurate feel. The keyboard is a joy, as much as one of this size could ever hope fo. And it needs to be, e-mail being the primary reason most people get a BlackBerry in the first place.'
