blackberry8820-attlg.jpgI can’t believe it. I really can’t. It’s amazing. Astounding, even. Who would have thought that it has taken this long for Research in Motion(RIM), producers of the grandaddy of all smartphones, the Blackberry, to release a device that includes Wi-Fi in the US.

All I can say is, it’s about time.

Also included with the 8820 is assisted GPS through TeleNav, a push-to-talk service, and the ability to purchase online music through eMusic Mobile (Home of great, DRM-free MP3s) and streaming music from XM Satellite Radio.

This device packs a serious punch for Blackberry lovers, giving them access to a great many features that you can’t find in other smartphones. I’m pumped for any current or future Blackberry owners, having been had a Blackberry in the past myself. But, that was in the days before my iPhone.

But, with a reported price of $300 with a two-year contract, I can see this little beauty as a nice alternative to the iPhone. Especially for business users that need Exchange support.
