Blackberry 8700g Review

Blackberry 8700g

When you go to the cell phone store and look at all the new phones and different technology available, it can be very overwhelming! What phone should I get? What price should I pay? Is this sales person more concerned about my needs or the commission?

If you are asking yourself these very questions, I would like to give an honest opinion of the Blackberry 8700g and the reasons you would benefit from such a device.

Though a blackberry may not be for everyone, for those of you looking for an email device/phone in one this is for you!

Now to answer: “Why buy the Blackberry 8700g?”

The QWERTY keyboard makes sending and responding to emails quick and easy! The alt key is located as conveniently on the device as it is on a computer keyboard. For those of you concerned about small buttons might want to try typing on the keyboard before your purchase though because the keys are a bit small.

While you are checking and responding to your email on the blackberry you might think your battery is running out quickly, but that’s not true with the 8700. According to the book the battery has 4 hours talk time and 16 days stand by. The battery life on this phone is out of this world. I have gone over a week without charging the battery and the device it still vibrating every time an email comes in. (An optional setting)

How is the phone quality you ask! My answer is fantastic and clear as a bell. Of course you will enter coverage areas where cell phones don’t work as well as in other areas, but you will the best possible service available with a phone like this!

Overall I would recommend the 8700 to someone who an active email user and is looking for a user-friendly email/phone device. This is the type of phone you won’t be able to live without!

The phones original MSRP was $549. However, the average selling price for the phone is between $180-240. If you chose to get this phone with a new plan or extending your existing contract you should be able to get the 8700g for ~$140.

Nice +1

I'm not sure about the whole Blackberry concept.

I kind of like to be disconnected sometimes!

Awesome cell ... Blackberry is leader of business series

Nice review too ...

With the Blackberry - can you choose your service provider or is this just offered through Nextel or Sprint?

I'm very interested in the Blackberry model and have always been. It would seem to work perfectly with the business I do.

Does the Blackberry come with a keyboard attachment? For example something that can fold back up after your done using it and put it back in your purse or briefcase?

I know Nextel use to have a keyboard attachment you could use.

I know it would be easier for me to reply to messages that way rather than pushing one "little" key on the phone at a time.

That was a great review and thanks for sharing that.

this phone is good specially for businessman

good for ppl who have sprint

This is phone I use for work-basic and easy to use. Never lets me down-get battery life

The Blackberry 8700 only supports bluetooth for voice, i.e. using it with a headset. Data transfer is not possible hence the refusal to recieve a file from your friend..
