While we’re waiting for the BlackBerry 9000 series, Rogers has discontinued the old BlackBerry 8800, only to replace it with the more powerful 8820 model. The newly launched device (at least on Rogers), builds on top of 8800′s specs adding WiFi connectivity to the mix.
The Blackberry 8820 is already available on the largest Canadian mobile operator and could be yours for CA$349 on a three-year contract (special promo price). The price goes up if you decide to bind yourself with a shorter-term contract — with a two-year term, the 8820 could be yours for CA$499, while a single year contract makes the device cost CA$549.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
