As you’d expect from a BlackBerry, the 8800 is an excellent e-mail device. It supports up to 10 e-mail accounts and set up is a 
breeze. The device notifies you as soon as a message arrives, and content is easy to read on the 2.5-inch 320-by-240 display. Instant messaging is unfortunately limited to the BlackBerry Messenger application; support for the more popular AIM, Yahoo, or MSN IM would have been a nice touch.
While the 8800 unforgivably lacks a camera, it does include the music and video players found on the multimedia-friendly Pearl. You can transfer files to the phone via the included Desktop Manager software. The phone includes a microSD slot for additional storage. While the music player won’t rival that found on a dedicated music phone, like the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic Phone, it’s passable. It lets you play, pause, and stop songs, and create basic playlists. Audio quality was decent, but not exceptional. The quality of video playback was much better; content looked great.
