Customer Reviews
BlackBerry Got It Right With This Phone!

FINALLY! A SmartPhone that keeps you productive and doesn't hassle you with malfunctions!
As you can probably surmise, I'm coming over from the Windows Mobile platform. After several years of wrestling with those units (especially Treos), I decided to give the BlackBerry 8830 a try, and am I glad that I did. I've had the opportunity to own/use this unit for several months now. There is just no comparison. The 8830 lives up to its promises, and is actually enjoyable to use.

Excellent phone
I got this as a corporate replacement for a Verizon XV-6700. What a difference! Blackberry sets the standard for smartphone design & engineering, and it shows.
