BlackBerry 8830 review

BlackBerry 8830 review

For all of the great features that the BlackBerry 8830 comes with, such as GPS, Bluetooth capability, email access, and a speakerphone, it seems that Blackberry has forgotten to include a few notable features as well. The most obvious is the lack of a built in camera. However, for the corporate employee that this phone is aimed for, that may not be too big of a deal. Also though, there is no Wi-Fi Internet access, leaving you restricted to access the Internet via your service provider's costly program.

Pros

  • Spectacular design for a smart phone
  • 3G capability built in
  • Media player with expandable memory
  • CDMA and GSM for world travel
  • Massive LCD screen

Cons

  • No Wi-Fi capability
  • No camera
  • QWERTY keypad may be too small for people with larger hands
  • Terrible battery life

Overall

The BlackBerry 8830 is a fantastic smart phone that should really be at the top of anyone's list that uses Verizon or Sprint as their service provider. While the battery life is tragically bad and there are a few features missing, none of them are really too problematic. All in all, the BlackBerry 8830 and the BlackBerry Pearl should be considered as two of the best smart phones in the business.
