What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a radio technology developed to deliver short-range wireless mobility. Bluetooth eliminates cables/wires /cords between devices, such
as mobile phones and headsets, and provides services when devices are in close proximity to one another. Bluetooth facilitates fast, secure transmissions of both voice and data, even when the devices are not in line-of-sight.

THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING -
GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

I bought this phone before two weeks ago. I thought it would come with all the accessories advertised here. It came with only AC charger, USB Cable, Battery and Handheld. I am bit disappointed. I just need a phone to make and recieve call but I just needed a case.

This phone is an all in one stop. I rate it better than than the iphone. I have had every blackberry since they first arrived on the scene and this is by far my favorite. It has a full key board, ring tones, speakerphone, email, BBM, the only thing it does lack is a camera...but honestly how many people really use the cameras on their phone...Take a picture on a camera and send it to your blackberry :) Good Luck with your shoppin.

The voice quality is far better than with my 8700G. The build quality is less than the 8700G because this is easier to break when dropped. I dropped my 8700g countless times and it still works very well. I would not risk dropping the 8800. The unit also scratches easily.
The speed is unimpressive and I would wait for true 3G unit debut before purchasing another Blackberry. Why no camera? What is RIM thinking?
The mouse trackball makes it easy to scroll past your desired icon and is too small for large hands. It becomes loose with time and falls out of the unit. I firmly feel Blackberry tried to make a leap of faith with this unit before fully testing it. Palm was too far ahead and it seems like RIM had to release anything to maintain market share. The result is a product that is not ready for prime time. The next version after the 8800 should be a little better as with most RIM products. Wait, do not purchase this until RIM makes the necessary changes.
