BlackBerry 8700g review

Sunday 21 May 2006, 11:20 PM

Good at its primary task - but no PDA


I've used Pocket PC and Palm so feel spoilt for handheld applications. Particularly like to have graphic PDFs on handhelds - Repligo has been good at this on PDAs. On Blackberry, decent PDF handling can be achieved but only thru subscription service. Very fond of it already though - does what it says it does. No more.

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.

Nokia E63

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
