BlackBerry 8800 Officially Announced!
"With the large, bright, high resolution (320 x 240) landscape display, images appear vivid and crisp for viewing emails, attachments, pictures, videos, web pages, business applications and games. Built-in light sensing technology automatically adjusts the screen, keyboard and trackball brightness for optimized visibility in various lighting environments. The vibrant display, coupled with the BlackBerry 8800’s innovative trackball navigation, delivers a user experience that is dynamic and intuitive."
Too bad it doesn’t come with a plastic holster, er — any holster. So sad RIM.
P.S. How nice of RIM to include a WiFi icon on the homescreen when the devices they announced don’t have WiFi…way to be thorough RIM.
UPDATE: Cingular’s press release begs to differ saying…"The BlackBerry 8800 also comes with a complement of accessories — headset, travel charger, holster, and USB cable — that are included in the box." Guess we will have to wait and see.
Great, weap pearl users, weap, only if it had a camera it would be near perfect.
How can you release this phone with no holster at all? What are you supposed to do? keep it in your pocket? Very poor idea… and the WiFi icon? You’re killing us!!!!
Thanks BG
Thanks for the info! Any idea when TMO will release this? Also, will the TMO version have the camera?
T-Mobile is looking like Q2, theirs will have WiFi and most likely a camera, yes. No holster is a very very poor decision, everyone I know lives and dies by their plastic 8700 holster. No one likes leather holsters RIM.
Will Cingy ever get the WiFi version? Camera Version? Thanks..
Perhaps a stupid question, but would wi-fi work if a T-Mo model was unlocked and used on Cingular? And the wi-fi is only for voice, not data, correct?
I can hardly wait, but what is it going to cost?
I thought the 8800 would be smaller than the pearl. I knew it was too good to be true. I guess it’s not possible if it has a full QWERTY.
Any idea how long the Cingular exclusivity period is?
I work for Cingular. The price will be 299 after mail in rebate. If you guys need any help with the phone or setting up service email me.
