RIM BlackBerry 8800 - CNET

RIM-BlackBerry-8800.jpg

The slim BlackBerry 8800 smartphone comes equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard, trackball navigation system and features a built-in GPS (Global Positioning System), multimedia functions and push-to-talk capabilities 'Taking its style points from the BlackBerry Pearl, the RIM BlackBerry 8800 is a far cry from the days of the blocky and drab BlackBerry 6280 or even the most recent BlackBerry 8700c, which was fine but still a little lackluster in the design department. That's all changed now with the BlackBerry 8800; it's sleek and sexy with its smoothed edges and a deep midnight blue casing and chrome accents.

At 4.4x2.6x0.5 inches and 4.7 ounces, it's slightly taller than the 8700c (4.3x2.7x0.7 inches; 4.7 ounces), but it's definitely thinner and thus, easier to slip into a pants pocket or purse. That said, the phone's pretty wide, so clutching it in your hand and holding it up to your ear is a bit awkward and cumbersome. To be fair, this is typical of the full QWERTY BlackBerrys as well as Pocket PC phones and Treos but even still, the Samsung BlackJack is probably the slimmest of such devices out there.'
