The 4.7-ounce BlackBerry 8700c looks like a shorter, fatter version of the 7100, or the offspring of a tryst between a Palm Treo 650 and a BlackBerry 7290. Regardless of its lineage, it’s one of the best BlackBerrys in a long time. For starters, the 320 x 240-pixel display is noticeably crisper and more colorful than those on previous models, including the 7100 series. That resolution dovetails nicely with the addition of Cingular’s EDGE network to make it practical to view graphics-heavy Web pages (something we couldn’t say about other BlackBerrys). Head on to LaptopMag's full review for more information about this smartphone from RIM.
