Review: RIM Blackberry 8700G
The Good: The RIM Blackberry 8700g is a quad-band world phone aimed at business customers, the phone includes a full QWERTY keyboard, Speakerphone, EDGE and Bluetooth. The 8700g offers easy e-mail setup and adds support for popular instant-messaging clients
The Bad: The keyboard feels slippery and cheap to the touch, and the square design may take some time to get used to. The phone doesn’t include any games and PDF files often lose their formatting when viewed and do not open completely. Another sore point is the inability to edit documents viewed on the device.
The Bottom Line: This is an ideal device for the travelling businessperson, with a fine range of bundled accessories and long talk and standby times. However, with the lack of any ‘leisure’ features, other consumers may wish to look elsewhere.
