BlackBerry 8820 Smartphone from AT&T

AT&T announced that the new BlackBerry 8820 Wi-Fi mobile phone will be available to its customers starting September 20. The BlackBerry 8820 lets you not only connect to your corporate or home network but also take advantage of 10,000 AT&T-owned or branded Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the U.S. (which requires an additional fee, of course). As the BlackBerry 8820 is EDGE compatible as well, you are also covered in AT&T's network.

The BlackBerry 8820 supports WLAN 802.11 a/b/g and features enterprise-level security. There's also built-in GPS with support for solutions such as TeleNav GPS Navigator and TeleNav Track and AT&T's PTT (push-to-talk) service. The phone is compatible with Bluetooth 2.0, and offers a microSD card slot for expanding memory. Users can also access AT&T Mobile Music, a one-stop-shop for music content from eMusic, XM Satellite Radio and more.

As with any BlackBerry, the 8820 offers a QWERTY keyboard, trackball navigation and a big 320x240 pixels resolution display.

Priced at US $299.99 (after rebates and a 2-year service agreement), the BlackBerry 8820 will be available starting September 20, 2007.
