BlackBerry Cool Staging: RIM announces BlackBerry 8820

    When they roll this model with a Camera I'll be happy. I guess I still have to wait.

    I second that, add a camera, oh and a touch screen and I'll drop my Treo in a heartbeat.

    The 8820 is NOT a UMA device. It is only using wifi for data access. Unlike the hotspot @home for tmobile which uses wifi for voice calls.

    Huh? It says UMA right in the first paragraph of the press release.

    Touchscreen? Are you kidding me? Who in their right mind wants a BlackBerry with a touchscreen? Stick to your outdated crappy Treo.
  • Elise · 2 years ago
    The Blackberry doesn't need a touch screen, in fact I'd say its more efficient without it. If you want a screen to poke at, get an iPhone.

    Personally im wanting the Pearl with Wi-fi and 3.2 that is supposed to launch later this year. 8800 is just too bulky for me.

    I wonder if they will fix the memory bug that plagues the 8100 and 8800 series devices right now. Oh wait, RIM doesnt want anyone to know about that yet.
  • shlammed · 2 years ago
    what memory bug?

    I've never had a problem with my 8100
  • shlammed · 2 years ago
    ah, the memory leak with the call logs, etc? what version of code are you running?
  • Michael R · 2 years ago
    RIM informed me when thier rep did a demo of the new curve for tmobile the 8820 was not UMA, but the new curve is. This was 07/18/07.

    For the memory bug change your memory allocations to 12M for device memory and 5M for picture reserve. Will stop the log and messages from being cleared.

    Can you please tell me if the 8820 or the 8320 will support Hebrew,The Pearl does, but the 8800 does not, I am with TMobile, my children have Pearl's and they Support Hebrew.
    To my suprise when I contacted TMO, they treated me like an Idiot, stating that if the Pearl has it the 8800 has to have it. Lastly, will both phones also have UMAH T Mobile Hot Spots Compatibility?
    Thank You
