Work gave me a BlackBerry 8820, today as a replacement for my aging 7250.  At first, I didn't think much of it - new phone, big deal?

Well, I am impressed.  The unit has a crystal-clear display, supports A2DP right out of the box, and paired with my Motorola S9 headphones like a charm.  Sound is excellent, but I suppose anything is better than the crappy A2DP implementation that is BlueZ audio (skips all the time).

It's got four radios: GSM (EDGE via AT&T, so it works great in my condo), 802.11b/g, 802.11a, and Bluetooth.  The 802.11 implementation supports WPAv2, and connected without hassle to my home network.

There's also a built-in GPS, which I haven't messed with yet, but supposedly works well.

I just need to get use to the wheel/ball thing, now…
