Another Blackberry to brag about...

Date of Review:  Aug 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is my third Blackberry and I am very pleased with its performance, quality, and the way it is built.
Review: About three months ago I upgraded my Blackberry 8703e and got this excellent Blackberry 8830 World Edition. Now I have used Blackberry devices for a while and would never go back to just regular phones or even other PDA devices. I guess the saying...

I'm Carryin' An Entire Office on My Belt These Days...

Date of Review:  Aug 25, 2008
The Bottom Line: If business takes you out of the country, a BlackBerry 8830 World Edition is an essential part of your wardrobe.
Review: I'm carrying a BlackBerry® now: I guess that means I've finally joined the real techie generation. And it's not an everyday BlackBerry like I see the college kids using on the plane (in full defiance of the FAA, I might add); it's a - gasp! -...

We bought a Pair!

Date of Review:  Nov 18, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would get them again but I am highly interested in the Blackberry Storm.
Review: We are small business owners- a husband and wife team. For a couple of years we had cell phone plans that would share minutes.  However we always seemed to have a different phone.  In addition to a cell phone each there was one older Blackberry...

Business Travelers review of Blackberry 8830 "World Phone"

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2009
The Bottom Line: The 8830 is a good phone for world travel with easy buttons for the important things. However there are newer phones out there that should be considered. 
Review: I have been a Blackberry user since the the 7230 and moved my way to a 8130 Curve and most recently an 8830 (in Fall of 2008) out of necessity from my provider - Verizon wireless. 

The move from AT&T to Verizon was required for coverage...

Not much my type of Blackberry

Date of Review:  Nov 1, 2008
The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend getting it.
Review: So, this was my first blackberry I've ever gotten. I was intimidated by all the buttons and options that were available, but eventually overcome that fear and started messing around with it. Within the first year however, the middle scrolling button...

Not the Greatest

Date of Review:  Sep 15, 2009
The Bottom Line: It's OK, but I think I would go for a Windows based phone with better keypad.
Review: I was issued this unit by my employer.  My current plan is data only, however I also have used it as a phone.  I was excited to have it, at first, but have since become really unhappy with it.

Overall ease of use is not that good.  The...

SUPER Mother's Day gift!!!

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2009
Review: This phone is TOO COOL! It's a Textor's dream! The first thing I did was to pick up a leather cover for the phone (I'm a granny too). To be honest, I thought my son may have secretly hoped I would get too flustered with all the "buttonage", but NOPE...

Great Phone, Bad Track Ball

Date of Review:  Oct 21, 2009
Review: I really like my Blackberry 8830 phone. It has great capabilities and does everything I want. Plus, the QWERTY keyboard is very easy to type on. I regularly type lengthy emails on it.

My one complaint would be that the track ball tends to...

Blackberry 8830

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2009
