CNET Editors' Take
Despite some spotty call quality issues, the RIM BlackBerry 8703e for Sprint is a great messaging device offering reliable e-mail delivery, a full QWERTY keyboard, a gorgeous screen, and EV-DO support.
The RIM BlackBerry 8703e for Sprint is similar to the Verizon version of the phone, offering a full QWERTY keyboard, a bright screen, and of course, push e-mail. Unlike the Verizon model, the Sprint-branded 8703e comes with an instant-messaging client, though it's the proprietary BlackBerry Messenger. Its call quality was OK. On both ends, conversations were mostly clear though there was a slight muffled tone. Activating the speakerphone yielded similar results.
