  • AT&T: BlackBerry 8820 GPS is fully functional, not crippled

    That’s right. The one thing we all feared with the launch of the RIM-made BlackBerry 8820 was that AT&T would have crippled the GPS module to work only with the pay-service, TeleNav. Rumors were circling the various internets regarding such GPS-crippling - and the prospect of having to pay to use a feature that was built-in drew a lot of flack. It looks like AT&T has confirmed that the now-available BlackBerry 8820 will be packed with not only WiFi, but a fully functional GPS unit. That means all you CrackBerry fans can get your GPS navigation fix (pun intended) without having to pay “the man.” So, if you’ve been waiting for more information on the BB 8820’s GPS feature before taking the plunge, consider yourself informed. Go out and snatch up that BlackBerry 8820 from AT&T today for $ 299.99 (with 2-year contract and rebates, of course)- and let us know how much you like having WiFi and GPS at your fingertips.

  • AT&T to start selling BlackBerry 8820 GPS WiFi Phone for $299

    It looks like Research In Motion’s GPS and WiFi-toting BlackBerry 8820 is finally making it’s debut on AT&T’s nationwide network (well, Amazon’s offering notwithstanding ) - a bit behind our expected schedule. With a $299 price-tag, AT&T will begin offering users the chance to get in on the GPS and WiFi goodness that is RIM’s BlackBery 8820. Sorry, BlackBerry 8800 owners, but with today’s announcement, your RIM handheld is now something us industry-folk like to call “obsolete.” It’s a shame, we know - but that’s how it goes with mobile phones. One day you’re on top of the world, the next your last week’s news. The BlackBerry 8820 will be rocking the 8800’s business-centric camera-less exterior, EDGE, PTT (push-to-talk) functionality, microSD card slot, WiFi a/b/g, and of course the integrated GPS module. The question remains, will AT&T be crippling the GPS functionality on the 8820?
