3GSM: BlackBerry 8800
Well we've just had the most exciting moment of the show so far. Yup I've seen the new Blackberry, the 8800 and yes it is about as exciting as you would imagine. It's basically like the 8700 but they just tweaked it a bit. The big story with it is they put a GPS in there, so you can hopefully use that of whizz around the country and it will tell you where to go. Downside is it's not 3G; it's only GPRS so not good for big downloads or super fast web browsing. The other interesting thing about it is the odd nipple - can I use that word? - that's on the Pearl has been moved over onto it. You spin around very very quickly with it, but I find it a little bit annoying. I know a lot people like it so I'm not going to slag it off too much. I don't know when it's going to be on sale. It is definitely coming to the UK, I'm sure it will sell by the millions, and personally I wouldn't want to go near one ever.
