BlackBerry 8700g review

Sunday 5 March 2006, 9:33 PM

Going from PPC to RIM is a minimalistic change


I'm very happy with the 8700 since moving from my 6600 PPC from Sprint. I'm on the Cingular network and it is always connected here in Manhasset, NY. The 8700 does exactly what I need it to do, PIM.

BlackBerry 8700g

Editors rating
Rating: 7.5
Verdict

A faster processor, more memory and an enhanced screen resolution make the 8700g an improvement over previous BlackBerry models. However, there are some issues with keyboard usability and email attachment handling.
