Blackberry fans have a lot to be happy about with the new Blackberry 8820. Excerpts:


Research In Motion Ltd. announced the new BlackBerry 8820 today, saying it's the first dual-mode BlackBerry to provide wireless voice and data access over both cellular and Wi-Fi wireless networks.

Features:

  • a full QWERTY keyboard
  • a large 320 x 240 display
  • a trackball navigation system.
  • built-in GPS support
  • a media player
  • expandable memory slot for micromemory cards up to 32GB
  • removable battery
  • Bluetooth 2.0

The new smart phone switches "seamlessly" between EDGE, GPRS and GSM networks and 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi, according to RIM. It can operate with the BlackBerry Internet Service, allowing a user to manage up to 10 personal and corporate e-mail accounts, or with BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed inside a user's business, which provides IT administration ability for Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange and Novell Groupwise systems.

The 8820 also features Wi-Fi security through Wireless Equivalency Protocol, Wi-Fi Protected Access and WPA2, so IT administrators can relax a bit when it comes to this device.
