I have to say that this BlackBerry 8830 World Edition
is a pretty fun little device. I really like the track ball and the screen is pretty vibrant. What makes this phone a World Edition is that it is packaged with power adapters for overseas usage. Wee…what fun. Let me give you a few pros of this phone according to me:
- Verizon’s Broadband lets you use the phone as a wireless access point with your laptop.
- Nice screen
- Light Sensitive keypad
- Easy to sync up with BlackBerry Exchange Server
- Nice skin-able OS
- Programmable quick keys
- GPS Capable
Now for the list of CONS:
- Microphone is too darn sensistive…picks up more background noise than you can imagine
- Before upgrading the OS, the BlackBerry 8830 would actually crash and would require removing the battery
- Battery life is horrible, especially if you have a low signal
- Ergonomically it is like talking to a cassette tape
- If you have Verizon, they purposely turn off the GPS capabilities
