does the blackberry 8800 unlocked have gps navigation?
Sammy on May 14, 2007
The Blackberry 8800 is an excellent device for mobile professionals. I have been using it for over a month and have no complaints. The screen is large and bright which is great for viewing emails, attachments, videos and web pages. The GPS on the rim 8800 works really well, pinpoints me to my exact location. It's missing a camera but we have to keep in mind that this phone is targeted towards businesses.
The cell phone is unlocked and has all the necessary features including Bluetooth, a good speakerphone, speaker-independent voice dialing and three-way calling. Setting up customized ring tones was easy, and the phone allows you to use MP3 files as rings.

I'm thinking of getting the rim 8800 but have a couple of concerns before I actually purchase it. I know that it is unlocked, quad band, and works with GSM Carriers in the United States and Canada . How would u rank the GPS system of the rim 8800? I heard that the sensor has difficulty finding certain locations. Also, how is the QWERTY keypad? I've been hearing that its not as wide and easy to use as the BlackBerry's 8700 series, which has a wider keyboard and discreet keys.

I bought the rim 8800 unlocked a couple of weeks ago from Rogers and am already addicted to it! It's user-friendly, efficient, and looks fantastic! Having more screen space made reading e-mails and broswing the internet easier than on the Pearl. The full QWERTY keyboard and trackball navigations system are great! For those of you concerned, the battery life is excellent. I absolutely recommend the rim 8800.

What is Sim Free? A sim free phone is a phone that is not
locked to the sim card of a specific carrier.
What is Unlocked? An unlocked phone is a phone that can work
with any sim card and/or GSM service provider. Please note that at least one
of the GSM Bands in the phone should match the GSM service prodiver's bands.
What is a Sim Card? A sim card is a small flat rectangle plastic
that contains a microchip. This microchips is the heart of your phone, it contains
your phone number, your address book, and the necessary information for your phone
to work. All sim cards look the same, but the microchip inside is different for
every GSM service provider.
What is a GSM service provider? A GSM service provider (carrier)
is a company providing you with a working line and phone number. To do this, they
will provide you with a sim card.
My GSM service provider does not have sim cards, why?
If your service provider does not have sim cards, then it does not use GSM
technology. Our phones will not work with non-GSM service providers.
What is GSM and non-GSM?
GSM is a mobile phone technology that uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access).
GSM stands for Global System for Mobile communications. The competing system is CDMA
(Code Division Multiple Access). GSM and CDMA are not compatible systems. If a phone
is designed for GSM, it will not be compatible with CDMA and vice-versa.
What are GSM Bands 900/1800/1900 Mhz? GSM technology can work on
up to 4 frequencies: 850 Mhz, 900 Mhz, 1800 Mhz, and 1900 Mhz.
Some GSM phones support all the bands or frequencies, or just a couple.
A dual band phone supports only two, usually 900/1900 or 850/1900.
A tri-band phone supports three bands, either 850/1800/1900 or 900/1800/1900.
A quad-band phone supports all GSM bands. Quad-band phones are able to
work with any and all GSM service providers.
On the other hand, GSM service providers support just a subset of all the GSM bands
available. Before buying a GSM phone, make sure the phone supports at least one
of the bands that your GSM service provider supports.
Do I need a contract to buy an Unlocked Phone?
No. A contract is required between you and the GSM service provider for you to
get a working phone line. A contract is not required between you and PureMobile.
No service plan included?
GSM service providers offer phones at discounted prices attached to their service
plans. The catch is these phones are locked to their sim cards. You cannot
use them with other GSM service providers. Our mobile phones are unlocked, they
reflect the real market price of a mobile phone and they are not locked to
a specific GSM service provider. That's why we do not attach any service plan to them.

The Performance Protection Plan is a unique after-sale service and
support program that replaces the manufacturer's coverage on your
product for as long as you choose.
