Corporations do need a BlackBerry that stays cost effective, but has a better screen, power consumption... and I think the 8800 is targeting this segment. Next dream will be to have Wi-Fi with it so that you can Skype without the huge roaming costs linked with 3G/Edge. -Olivier Being in charge of communication costs in my company, I hope it will not be 3G before roaming costs drastically improved.

The 8800 actually has voice activated dialing and everything else the Pearl has—except the camera—and it's supposed to be the thinnest BlackBerry yet. Add a full QWERTY keyboard and GPS on top of that, and you're right, it is pretty tempting! Ismael,

But the GPS on the 8800 is very tempting... Best regards -Ismael Ryan,

I use it with a Tekkeon EZ Mini Bluetooth headset, and I just love it! I also loaded the Opera Mini browser and the SoonR software so I can access my desktop files and make Skype calls without needing WiFi. Heaven! Until 3G shows up, then we'll rethink.
