Certain Pocket PC users have oftentimes scoffed at the BlackBerry line from Research in Motion, because no BlackBerry has had integrated WiFi connectivity. That has now changed. Research Motion has officially revealed the BlackBerry 8820, the first BlackBerry to come with built in WiFi. Can you imagine if T-Mobile decided to pick this up and include it as part of their new service?In addition to the three flavors of WiFi (802.11a/b/g), the BlackBerry 8820 also boasts integrated GPS, quad-band GSM, and a microSD/microSDHC expansion slot. . It's also got that trackball thing in the middle.The one feature that is sorely missing, however, is a camera. It doesn't even have an ugly VGA picture-taker. Certain corporate customers may appreciate this omission, though, given that restricted areas typically don't allow cameras of any kind.
