RIM BlackBerry 8820 Reviews
the 8820 is the first BlackBerry finally able to connect to WiFi networks. This allows him to take advantage of the broadband Internet, especially since it is deadlocked on technology 3G/3G +.
Outwardly, there are therefore at any point aesthetics 8800, its full alphanumeric keypad and its chrome sides. Like his grandfather, he has no camera at his back, but nevertheless provides multimedia functions.
Thus, it reads as images and video (MPEG4, WMV or H.263), and can act as a player (MP3, WMA, AAC, AAC +, eAAC +, AMR-NB or MIDI). It will, however, provide for that a microSD memory card, because its internal memory stores only 64 Mo.
The 8820 also incorporates a GPS, which operates BlackBerry Maps or service Orange (since it is mainly sold in pack operator).
In addition to managing legendary emails push mode, the 8820 draws its strength from its compatibility WiFi (802.11 a, b, g), a real novelty for BlackBerry. This is not as easy as we would have hoped.
The camera does not automatically system network security (WEP, WPA), and therefore requires an intervention by the user to set up WiFi security. In addition, it is not clear to distinguish communications EDGE wireless communications.
The web browser integrated into the BlackBerry does not, and just try to display pages in a very stripped. In addition, the load time of pages mode EDGE remains slow, especially when compared to the smartphones 3G/3G +. However, this technology is sufficient for email, as they are compressed (as attachments) via BlackBerry servers.
The WiFi therefore remains useful for the Web and Internet telephony (VoIP). Unfortunately, no VoIP software has been preinstalled RIM. The terminal supports the protocol yet AMU for the automatic switch between telephone networks and WiFi networks. To exploit it, it will be necessary to agree to such offers Unik Orange.
