HTCBusiness.com Blackberry 8820 Mobile Phone

Among the more robust web-ready
phones we find the Blackberry line,
there have been several models
designed to provide easy access to
multimedia files, text messaging and
the web, a good example is the
recently launched Blackberry 8820. This
is said to be the very first Blackberry
which has Wi-Fi capabilities which
makes it a very convenient mobile
phone for business people. It also has a
built in GPS system along with support
for T-Mobile's Hotspot @ HomeSM. The
physical appearance of this mobile
phone is quite stylish, it features a
midnight blue finish which is greatly
coupled with a thin look.

The 8820 is basically the 8800 which is a business blackberry with the WiFi feature
added, however it is said that the Wifi doesn't help that much, the WiFi is very easy to
setup using the built-in wizard and it can be used on many networks including VPN and
WA protected networks but since the Blackberry system is so nicely optimized for slower
networks you won't fell much of a boost in speed if you are reading your emails or
browsing the web.

The 8820 features a sculpted keyboard which is easy to use during web browsing or text
messaging. This blackberry version doesn't have a built in camera which helps it keep
it's thin look, some business owners might consider this a disadvantage if their business
requires some sort of visual record keeping that can be accomplished by using a
camera.

This device also features a built-in media player which is capable of playing back music
formats such as MP3, AAC and WMA, it has a powerful HTML web browser. There is no
Bluetooth audio in the 8820 however it wasn't intended to have such feature because it
is aimed mostly at business owners who try to get their email messages and stock
quotes in places where it is not common to find a web service.

As far as navigation, the 8820 supports Blackberry maps which is always a plus for
people who are constantly traveling to new places within the US, it also features a
TeleNav GPS Audible navigator which can provide turn by turn instructions while
driving to a certain place.

Overall, this is a very solid version of the Blackberry 8800 with added Wi-Fi capability
which is mostly intended for business use, those who want more out of their Blackberry
should check the 8320 model which has a built in 2 megapixel camera as well as all of
the features found in the 8820.
