  Blackberry 8220 - Good Attempt!
Review created: 25/12/08

Of course, Blackberries are mainly for businesses and are mainly known for e-mail and internet access. I have only had this phone for a short while, but I have already fallen in love with it. Although the keys are in a QWERTY style (which I personally dislike as I am not used to them), the keys are surprisingly big and therefore easier to press. This phone is also one of the first Blackberries to be able to make videos, but that comes at a price as it is only a 2.0 mehapixel camra, quite pathetic for today's society. I have never liked touchscreens, so the fact that this phone is not touch screen and that it is a roller-ball is a bonus for me. This phone is big yet stylish, and if you are still not sure there is a panoramic view of one on the Blackberry website. The clock on the smaller screen is also very trendy and looks good (and of course fits its purpose!). This phone can also fit many covers and styles to suit you (don't believe me? Type "Blackberry 8220 cover" onto Ebay and you'll see what i mean). Lastly, I live in a very rural area with the nearest city being over 100 miles away, and i get nearly full signal in my house to not just ring people but also access internet, so decide for yourself.
Overall a very very good attempt at making a stylish, practical and not too bulky flip-phone. Well done Blackberry!

This is a great little phone. I have owned all the different blackberry models including the Bold and Storm, and this is my my favourite. Yes the screen is smaller. Yes the processor is slower, but the form factor is spot on for an everyday phone.

The call quality (on vodafone at least) is great. It has WiFi - that's one over the Storm! It crams the full blackberry experience into an excellent flip phone. It also does some neat things that other blackberry's don't out of the box. One of my favourites is previews of messages are displayed on the front screen of the phone without the need to open the handset up. Not a new invention, but a great feature for a Blackberry.

The other benefit of this non-3G devise is that the battery seems to last longer than on the Bold and the Storm (which only lasts about a day....if that!)

All in all, if you want the practicality of a robust OS along with Blackberry's legendary messaging capabilities and some excellent social network apps, then look no further than one of these little marvels.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS SELLER!!

Do not believe a word this seller says.
I was told my purchase would be with me in 7 - 10 days
10 days after my purchase I was informed it had been posted that was three days ago. After checking with parcel force on the tracking number I was given, they informed me that there was no record of the number on there system.

i like the look, its all down hill now, buyers be ware no phone shop will look at a blackberry so its back to the manufactures who are simply not interested they just want you to subscribe to a helpline fat lot of good when the phone is faulty stick to motorola if you want reliability

Just to see and feel the phone spells quality. i find it realy easy and fast to text and send, and i don't need my glass'es to read the big screen and the scrolling ball is fast and easy to move around all the icons which is better than pressing buttons all the time. all the people i show it to are impressed by its feachers and what it can do. my last oppion is "worth every penny".

Nice phone and I wish I ould use it, but I can't. I can't insert my PAYG sim; I've tried everyway. I like the menus and qwary keys. Shame I can't use it for real! Looks like 'saw me coming!'

this was a bad experience as phone was not the model it was supposed to be and cost me £7.50 to return through no fault of mine and has certainly altered my thinking on e-bay purchase

Wanted a qwerty keyboard as I'm rubbish at predictive text. This is ideal as I also wanted a flip phone. My current phone has to be unlocked every time you want to use it, with this I just have to open it. Nice!!
