BlackBerry 8707v Mobile Phone Review

BlackBerry 8707v Details

F3nix! good blackberry , is exclusive for vodafone?

<unknown> This phone is great I use all functions and its alot better than my previous Blackberry 7230. Awesome job RIM love my blackberry

Si It doesn't have an Intel chipset!!

bb user I have used RIM's blackberries of various flavors for about 3 years. Particularly I was used to love these 7x series, and the 7230 (it was the ultimate perfect device). Recently I've had for about a year the 7290, a little eavier and a bit fatter but, well, I could still cope with that.

Recently I have got a brand new 8707v. Not for long, for about two weeks now. Well, guys, there was this one thing I was used to like very much in blackberry devices: battery life.

Although these new 87xx models presents a stilish user interface (useful?) and a good loud speaker (necessary?), and a bright screen (better then the transflective? really?) battery life makes it unaceptable.

If you technical guys at RIM are reading this, take it seriously, also I recommend you to walk upstairs to the marketing department (yes, those guys like me wearing a sharp dark suit that look at you as they were intelligent) and tell them that fooling culistomers with aleged improved battery life on brochures, probably makes you earning new customers but puts a serious question mark on your capacity to delivery effective improvements and interpret business needs. For gadget phones we have other brands, for office mobility, so far, blackberry was ideal.

Facts speak for theirselves and much louder than the new loud speaker (necessary?). Take your bb 87xx out with you for three days on a business trip and will become a paper holder befoure you board your return flight.

And no, I don't do more calls today than I was doing 1 month ago with the previous 7290 version.

Sorry for sharing this with you. But watch out, there is a lot going on in the mobile market and if you loose on the grounds that have set you a part from all the other vendors, you end up deluding your customers and doing someonelse a favor.

zac Is this the only brand without a pathetic camera and mp3 attached... Ill have the g3 blackberry thanks.

le dinh tien buying now add ? germany - frankfurt

<unknown> no camera?..no mp3? hah..amatures like you should stick to phones more your age, blackberry devices are for adults and for ...go play with your hotwheels now litte boy.

VISHAL no camera, no mp3, no memory. bad phone from the company

ChrisP I think the actual device is great.
I've got big fingers and thumbs but can easily use the keyboard.
The other controls and screen are wonderful too.
Slight problem is that at the moment I can't get mine to work because seemingly there are 2 different models the Prosumer and the Enterprise and guess what,I've been sent the wrong one.
You need to specify the Enterprise if you want to connect it to your server using the Enterprise Server software.
I can't find anything on either the Blackberry or Vodafone site which explains this so just be careful when you are ordering so that you get the right one.

<unknown> I like blackberry series phone,very very good!
