If you are in a strict corporate environment where 5 megapixel camera phones will not be tolerated, the T-mobile Blackberry 8820 might be your lucky ticket. The 8820 is the Wifi equipped version of the 8800 series, which although not as successful as T-mobile would have hoped, it has been very successful on other networks. To take advantage of the Hotspot@Homeservice from T-mobile, the 8820 has been released so that unlimited calling over Wifi could hit the corporate marketplace. The 8820 is solid option if you are not allowed to use camera phones and need to hook up with your BES at work, but the mainstream crowd will appreciate the Blackberry Curve much more.

Refresh your memory with some of the specs:

• Size: 2.6 x 4.5 x 0.6 inches
• Weight: 4.7 oz
• Battery: 1400 mAh Lion
• Talk Time: up to 5 hours
• Standby time: up to 22 days

Wi-Fi and Mobile calling are the big features here although Instant Messaging: AOL / Yahoo / ICQ are included. With no camera, video recording and pictures are clearly not an option, but like the 8800 it does support video playback. A MicroSD card slot and Stereo Bluetooth support are included and the phone is packaged with the standard battery, charger, usb cable, holster, headset and software suite.
