Blackberry 8700c pre-pre-reviewed

 

BBHub has what amounts to a pre-pre-review of the Blackberry 8700c from a seemingly reliable source for such RIM goodies. Not a lot of surprises, the source finds that built-in EDGE, along with the new Intel processor, made use "much faster", and of...

RIM Blackberry 8700G Smart Phone

 

The BlackBerry 8700g, the latest addition to RIM's 8700 series of PDA/phones, adds more of a consumer flavor to BlackBerry's notoriously business-geared devices. To the BlackBerry's already stellar messaging capabilities, it adds support for consumer...

Excellent e-mail and messaging device Adds support for consumer IM networks

Lacks a camera

Overall, the 8700g is an impressive e-mail device, but it seems caught between its roles as a powerful enterprise tool and a handy consumer gadget. As a business tool, the 8700g could benefit from more office apps, and if RIM really wants to target...

The 8700g is more consumer-friendly than other BlackBerry devices, but it still lacks a camera.

RIM BlackBerry 8700g

 

The BlackBerry 8700g is delicious for e-mail and instant messaging.

Bright color screen. Fast and responsive. Excellent e-mail and IM flexibility.

No voice dialing. Can't use it as a laptop modem.

BlackBerry 8700g (T-Mobile) review: BlackBerry 8700g (T-Mobile)

 

RIM BlackBerry 8700g Ever since the Research in Motion-vs.-NTP battle escalated, we haven't heard too much from RIM in terms of product announcements--until now. Along with T-Mobile, RIM introduced the BlackBerry 8700g at CTIA this year, replacing the...

The RIM BlackBerry 8700g offers easy e-mail setup and adds support for popular instant-messaging clients. The quadband 8700g also comes with an Intel processor, EDGE speeds, Bluetooth 2.0, a speakerphone, and a full QWERTY keyboard.

The BlackBerry 8700g's keyboard feels a bit cheap and slippery. Also, there are no expansion options, and we encountered some problems viewing PDFs on the device.

The RIM BlackBerry 8700g offers T-Mobile consumer and business users a robust, user-friendly messaging device and cell phone with great performance.

Stellar e-mail and messaging device ; Supports Cingular's fast EDGE network

BlackBerry 8700c (AT&T) review: BlackBerry 8700c (AT&T)

 

RIM BlackBerry 8700c Despite Research in Motion's legal woes, the company continues to produce some of today's most popular mobile e-mail devices. In fact, RIM's BlackBerry devices lead the pack of handheld shipments , while Palm, Dell, and HP fall...

The RIM BlackBerry 8700c benefits from an Intel processor and EDGE support, as well as a bright display, a full QWERTY keyboard, and a slim design.

To our disappointment, the RIM BlackBerry 8700c uses a proprietary instant-messaging client, and Bluetooth is limited to use with headsets and car kits.

Armed with an Intel processor and EDGE support, the RIM BlackBerry 8700c offers mobile professionals a winning package of performance, productivity, and design.

RIM BlackBerry 8700c

 

The 8700c is the best of both the traditional and new-style BlackBerrys in a single package.

Bright color screen. Smaller than previous models. Fast and responsive.

No voice dialing. Can't use it as a laptop modem.

BlackBerry 8700g

 

Both of these 4.7-ounce devices are a little smaller than previous slab-style Blackberry devices, with a beautiful, backlit, 2.6-inch, 320-by-240-pixel screen. Text, photos, and Web pages all look great on the bright, 65k-color screen. Keys on the...

Bright color screen. Fast and responsive. Excellent e-mail and IM flexibility

No voice dialing. Can't use it as a laptop modem

The BlackBerry 8700g is the ultimate e-mail and IM phone for T-Mobile customers, with more service options than its Cingular counterpart.

BlackBerry 8700c

 

This is not your father's BlackBerry. The BlackBerry 8700c combines the convenience of the traditional slab-style unit with the color and verve of the new 7100 models, creating a top-notch e-mail device for a new generation.
