If you have owned a Blackberry before, you know these two flagship features pretty well. It works pretty much the same, only better ’cause you have a full QWERTY keyboard on your Blackberry 8800.

The Blackberry 8800 supports both Polyphonic ringtones and true mp3 ringtones. How to copy your ringtones to the 8800 depends on whether you have a USB data cable or you have access to downloadable ringtones from the WAP or web. Here are a few of those sites that offers ringtone juice for your Blackberry. If there is the note “WAP:” in front of link, that means you want to use BlackBerry’s wap browser to access the URL.

Although the Nokia 6288 is really cool, but it is still uncertain whether Chinese mobile users will use it to snap and send videos amass. The 3G network in China is still quite uncertain. And 2G mobile data is very expensive compared to the more prevalent SMS usage.
