RIM's New Blackberry 8800

Is anybody here considering buying the new Blackberry 8800?

I hear it's the slimmest Blackberry yet, but I'm not sure how its functions compare to those of the iphone.

I hate Blackberry. The device is so limited. A smartphone is so much better if you are getting a data device. What I'd rather is a regular PHONE. I don't like big gadgets.

I think it's definitely the best Blackberry yet. But, I'm not really a Blackberry fan. I'm waiting for the Linux mobile software. I also want to take a look at Symbian, but it's not very common in the States.

Symbian: Just about anything that says "Nokia" on it has Symbian.

BB 8800 looks like it is something I don't give a damn about. Heh.

A friend of mine had one of those smaller Blackberrys a few years ago, and he always had his face in it, typing away with his thumbs.

In his case, it increased his nerd factor exponentially.

I hate smart phones. I would rather have a cheap cell phone and a nice PDA.

Now, there's nothing wrong with that! I'm still waiting on the D&D phone. It's a wonder nobody has made one yet.

I'm with you. I just want a phone that is a phone and a PDA that is a PDA. I had, for work for a while, a PDA phone. It sucked because I kept cutting myself off with the touch screen pad.

Well, 8800 is pretty weird. It has GPS built in, micro SD support, streaming video/audio support, but doesn't have a camera. O.o

It will sell well to people in the security sector and those who want a new BB to upgrade that has GPS, otherwise iPhone is a better value for the consumer who wants an all-in-one.
