Blackberry 8800 is the latest on the line of RIM smart phones - feature rich and visually and functionally inspiring. It is also the thinnest Blackberry handset yet. Going straight into its specifications, the Blackberry 8800 comes equipped with a QWERTY keyboard - unlike Blackberry Pearl - and a trackball navigation system. It appears that Blackberry had finally come into terms with the fact that joysticks are not great devices for navigational purposes, especially to zip through a phone menu. The QWERTY keyboard can be a bit confusing in the beginning, but as the user starts typing on it, gradually he/she will get used to it.

If there is another major difference between Blackberry 8800 and the Pearl, then it is the absence of the camera. Blackberry has dispensed with the camera in 8800 for a more reliable feature, the GPS, to track down roaming business users and devices. Even though, the Blackberry 8800 does not have Google Maps in it, the bundled TeleNav GPS Navigator does an exceptional job in giving the user the right directions always. The local search function also works very well.
