Advantages: large screen, full keyboard, extensive extra features
Disadvantages: larger than standard phone

I purchased the Blackberry Curve so that I could have my to do list and my calendar with me without an added piece of technology to carry around. I was actually more than a little surprised with all the additional features I was able to either download from Google or came standard on the phone.

Advantages: 3G that provides email and Internet connectivity
Disadvantages: can't think of any

I've had my BlackJack II for several months now and I just love it. I originally had the black one, but was able to exchange for the burgundy version. It is very stylish and fits a techie girl's personality. I used to carry a laptop around all the time, but found that it was too heavy and was hurting my shoulder. Now with the BlackJack II, I can leave the laptop home and still have access to all my email accounts. I installed Yahoo to Go 2.0 and ...

Advantages: Feature loaded, superb camera quality, ball scrolling
Disadvantages: Keypad too small and crammed,

Though the Blackberry 8800 cannot be compared with the iphone, I'd say this phone still has a lot of upsides. Lots of neat features. The Media Net (web brouser) is strong and fast in signal transmission. The camera is exceptional. It's the clearest I have seen in a cellphone (I think this goes for most Blackberry phones). There is no video recording though. The ball scroller makes browsing folders and screen options faster , a nice add-on. Design ...
...be pretty crammed up. The Blackberry phone keypads are the smallest you could possibly find in the market today. They also have changed the letter layout/configuration , making it even harder to use. Guess this phone was not meant for SMS texting. This is a total reversal with my previous phone, the Motorola Razr w/c had wide keypads. ... Read review
