Comparisons Featuring BlackBerry 8700c
Short Review
- The BlackBerry 8700c features a compact design with dimensions of 110 x 69.5 x 19.5 mm and a weight of 134g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 2.6-inch display supports 65K colors with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, offering decent clarity for its time.
- Performance is powered by an Intel PXA901 CPU running at 312 MHz, complemented by 64MB of RAM, which is suitable for basic tasks.
- The device lacks a camera, with both rear and selfie options at 0 MP, limiting its multimedia capabilities.
- The battery capacity is 1100 mAh, providing adequate power for daily use without fast charging options.
- Running on BlackBerry OS, the software is designed for productivity, although it lacks modern features like WiFi and stereo speakers.
- Connectivity options include Bluetooth, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The proprietary USB port is the only means for data transfer and charging.
- Overall, the BlackBerry 8700c is a straightforward device focused on communication rather than multimedia or advanced features.
- Its build quality and design reflect the utilitarian approach typical of BlackBerry devices from that era.
