Technology Product Review: Verizon Blackberry 8830 World Edition Smartphone

Barely a week after I have done my review with my Verizon Blackberry 8703e, I was able to get me a new Verizon Blackberry 8830 World Edition Smartphone. Since I work for the technology department, I was able to swap out my 8073e with this new model. For the same price as the 8703e, the Verizon Blackberry 8830 World Edition is a slimmer, and comes with a better holster (my two complaints about the 8703e model see my review at http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/380728/product_review_verizon_blackberry_8703e.html )

The Verizon Blackberry 8830 World Edition Smartphone is very stylish and light. It is very sleek and makes use of trackball navigation and a new backlit QWERTY keyboard. The trackball is strategically placed in the middle top of the controls, making it easier to control with your left or right thumb. This means lesser pain from extending your thumb on the right top side of the system which is what the other older models have. The QWERTY keyboard allows you to easily type messages unlike regular cell phones where letters are shared in each key.

The Verizon Blackberry 8830 World Edition Smartphone comes equipped with microSD expandable memory support. The removable memory allows you to store audio, photos, and videos separately from the device's internal memory space. It has a brilliant, full-color, and high resolution display screen which allow you to do your phone and PDA functions more visibly.

The Verizon Blackberry 8830 World Edition Smartphone also has a speakerphone, a feature that I cannot do without. I am always on calls and having a speakerphone feature allows me to talk hands free while driving. It has also BlueTooth capability, which will allow you to use or connect to BlueTooth compatible devices such as like wireless headset or ear piece within 30 feet of distance.
