Design of blackberry 8800 is similar with the other series before, especially on its QWERTY keyboard. This console also use microSD as external memory beside its 64mb internal memory, but the advantage of this series is we don’t need to release the battery when we need to put the microSD on it. We just need to open its back cover. This console navigation use trackball and two softkey button. Trackball use to rule the movement between its menu. The other advantage of this console is on chatting. For chatting, this series have three kind chat mode. Yahoo messenger, Google talk and Blackberry messenger, which I think is more attractive than the computer version. This series doesn’t have 3G access capability, but its still can get internet access by using GPRS which can give us good internet connection. As media player, this console can play MP3, 3GPP and Mpeg4 in good quality. The other advantage of this console is having GPS function, which displayed as mapping form with zoom facilities, directions, send and copy locations. This console battery have about 528 hour in standby mode and 5 hour for talktime. But when we use to browse the internet the battery will get low faster. The disadvantage of this console is have no camera on it. And for long period operational, the trackball can make little uncomfortable to our finger. But overall, I think this console was great, small, light and very easy to operate.
