BlackBerry 8830, BlackBerry 8800, and BlackBerry 8820 Information
Anyone ever wanted to know the difference between the GSM/GPRS/EDGE BlackBerry 8800 (currently on AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Rogers and a number of other carriers) and the upcoming CDMA/EV-DO BlackBerry 8830 World Phone (soon to be found on Verizon, Sprint, Telus, and others)?
According to this leaked AT&T document obtained exclusively by BGR, the BlackBerry 8800 device has almost twice the processing speed and a substantial 35% advantage on talk time but lacks in data speeds (EDGE vs EV-DO). 312MHz vs. 225MHz, wow!
Granted, this is nothing more than propoganda promoting the Baby Bell BlackBerry North American Championship match, pitting Verizon versus AT&T – the champion versus the top contender – in the title bout, but the hard facts don’t lie.
Oh yeah, there is also a little blurb about some new device called the BlackBerry 8820, which includes Wi-Fi functionality, seeing a release date on AT&T in Q3 this year.

Verizons version of the 8830 works ok in USA,
But out of country its another matter. NOT in Chile as they said when it was purchased.
And no out of USA sim cards will work either.
My company is dumping verizon after the second major screw up.
Dawgs,
I had the 8800 from 2007 with Edge only and I just made the transition to the iPhone 2.2 with 3G, WiFi, GPS, etc. It’s amazing. If BB made a 3G, I never would have transitioned.
