Are you thinking about getting the new Cingular BlackBerry 8800? Well the Boy Genius has posted their unboxing pictures of the Cingular 8800 here on their website. From the early looks of the phone, this promises to be yet another excellent BlackBerry device.

The 8800 features:

  • Internal GPS
  • microSD support
  • Trackball navigation
  • Large high resolution screen with 65K colors
  • Bluetooth 2.0 support
  • Thinnet full QWERTY BlackBerry available
  • Large adjustable brightness light sensing screen
  • BlackBerry Media Player for MP3 music and videos
  • PIM integration for contacts, tasks, and calendar
  • 5 hour talk time and 24 days standby time
  • Push to Talk support
  • Measures 4.49 x 2.6 x 0.55 inches
  • Weighs 4.73 oz
  • Supports quad band GSM
  • Supports GPRS and EDGE networks
  • 64 MB included flash memory

In case you missed it, the folks at LaptopMag reviewed the phone last week. You can find the review here and here’s their verdict:

Overall, the BlackBerry 8800 is an excellent smart phone and a surprisingly good navigator. At $299, it’s priced between the sleeker, more multimedia-friendly Samsung Sync ($199) and the more powerful Cingular 8525 ($399), which offers both HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity. Whether it’s $150 better than Cingular’s BlackBerry Pearl depends on how much of a premium you place on having a full-sized keyboard, up to five hours of talk time, and GPS capability. We think it’s worth it.

The BlackBerry 8800 can be purchased from Cingular for a price of $299.99 after  a 2 year contract and a $50 dollar mail in rebate.
