PC World names BlackBerry 8800 fifth best product of 2007
That’s pretty lofty air.
The ranking seems more complimentary than does Liane Cassavoy’s review score of 80.
Pros:
- Great e-mail device
- Includes integrated GPS
Cons:
- Lacks a camera
- Lacks consumer IM clients
Despite the “Cons,” Lianne writes:
The BlackBerry 8800’s strengths–in particular, its battery life, excellent e-mail handling, and built-in GPS features–outweigh its minuses. If you don’t need a camera with your PDA phone, the 8800 is worth a look.
