Once again, the BlackJack wins out in my book. The BlackJack's embrace of HSDPA clearly puts the BlackBerry 8800 at a disadvantage here, despite both being quad-band phones. |

The BlackJack is the clear winner here. As it comes with Bluetooth and support for 3G (UMTS and HSDPA) networks, it far surpasses the lackluster BlackBerry 8800. |

Integrated Bluetooth and HSDPA/UMTS-what more could you ask for? |

Even though the 8800 is a quad-band smart phone and has Push-to-Talk capabilities, its lack of HSDPA support just leaves it in the dust. |

Yes, it has GPS capability, but the lack of both Wi-Fi and 3G support put it behind. |

I like the integrated GPS, but without the 3G support and Wi-Fi, the BlackBerry 8800 is simply no match for the BlackJack in this area. Hopefully, the BlackBerry 8820 will fix those mistakes. |
