Blackberry's Latest Wonder: 8700c
A good PDA is a MUST for any serious business person. A PDA with on demand email/web is a must for many as well.
PC World reviews Blackberry's latest PDA and writes The newest member of the BlackBerry family (a quad-band phone hybrid with EDGE support) offers more PDA functionality than ever, and it retains all its core strengths as a mobile e-mail powerhouse. I got the chance to test a pre-production unit, and I doubt that the 8700c will convert Treo or Windows Mobile lovers. But corporate travelers tied to the BlackBerry platform might find the new functionality and form factor appealing--and like its predecessors, the 8700c remains a strong option for anyone who wants to type mail or messages on a handheld. Cingular plans to start selling the hybrid on November 21; it'll cost $300 with a two-year contract after mail-in rebate, or $450 for current Cingular subscribers.
