User Reviews for Research in Motion BlackBerry 8830 World Edition

  • Reviewed by: waqario

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: world edition, sim card expandable to use when traveling, awesome mouse scroll navigation, full qwerty keyboard

    Weaknesses: cannot use speakerphone for ringtone so sometimes ringtone is not heard

    Overall Evaluation: Overall, this is a great blackberry that I would definitely recommend to users. Email and data is fast and I just love the mouse ball scroll option. The only negatives really are that the ringtone volume can be low even when it is set to max and as of yet i have not found a way to raise it. Other then that I have had no problems while using this device and it has definitely lived up to its expectations.The blackberry browser is somewhat limited, so feel free to upgrade to opera mini. Lets me use a lot more sites that way.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Great little phone .. has everything you need. To be productive when at work, and to play hard when relaxing.

    Weaknesses: Cant' think of anything .. really.

    Overall Evaluation: This is a very effective business tool. Great email, Internet Access, FAST with Sprint's 1XEV (evdo rev 0) service. Not rev A, but the Blackberry service is really fast, so the revA difference is NOT noticeable at all.
