Battery Life
"Wow!" ... That should pretty much sum it up. The battery life is simply amazing. Makes me think of the Energizer Bunny, the one that goes on and on and on…

After using it for two and a half days while putting it through it’s paces, I still used up just one fourth of battery life. And I’m quite sure it will still be perfectly alright for me to use it tomorrow as well. And all this on a single charge. Its 1400 mAh lithium cell can give you 5 full hours of talk time.

The phone has a standard USB slot but it still doesn't recharge directly through it. I kept getting a really long warning message which to sum up says – Not a sufficient power source. We had the same issue with the 8100. What gives…? My guess is the only way to charge the phone is through the battery charger, (which has 3 different adapters so you can use in most countries) as there seems to be a problem while connected to the USB.

Conclusion
The BlackBerry 8800 is being offered by Hutch and Airtel and is available for Rs. 31,990, which is surely a bit steep, but you have to consider the fact that it’s targeted at the people who rely on being connected via email to stay at the top of their game. This device is targeted at those individuals who are users of the BlackBerry email system and appreciate its value added functioning.

The device isn't really meant for the more casual business user, or one that doesn't have a BlackBerry-based corporate email service. For the latter, the Nokia E61 is a better option because it offers POP, Microsoft Exchange as well as add-on BlackBerry email support if required, and scores more points for its awesome web browser.

However with their legendary email capabilities and business functions this is the future and for all you BlackBerry fans out there and the future is here. I’m quite sure corporate India will appreciate the 8800.
