Comparisons Featuring BlackBerry 8830 World Edition

Short Review

  • The BlackBerry 8830 World Edition features a compact design with dimensions of 114 x 66 x 14 mm and a weight of 132g, making it portable and easy to handle.
  • Its 2.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, providing decent clarity with 65K colors, although it lacks HDR support.
  • Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM6550 chipset with 64MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
  • The device does not include a rear or selfie camera, limiting its photographic capabilities significantly.
  • The 1400mAh battery offers basic longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on BlackBerry OS, the software experience is tailored for productivity, although it lacks modern features like stereo speakers or a headphone jack.
  • Connectivity options include Bluetooth 2.0 and miniUSB, but it does not support WiFi or 5G.
  • The build quality is solid, but there are no water resistance features.
  • Overall, the BlackBerry 8830 is designed primarily for communication rather than multimedia use.
  • Its special features are minimal, focusing on essential functions for business users.
