ATT Wireless has released the BlackBerry 8820 that combines EDGE/GPRS/GSM but also has Wi-Fi connectivity support through UMA. The usual features await in what is dubbed the thinnest smartphone design yet; full QWERTY keyboard, display (320 x 240 px), trackball navigation system, built-in GPS, and a microSD / microSDHC expandable memory slot that can support microSD memory cards up to 32 GB, are some of the additional features.




The device also supports 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi standards, BlackBerry 8820 users can access data through public hotspots and wireless home networks. Allowing carriers to offer a fixed-mobile convergence service for both business and home use, with a UMA solution in place, the BlackBerry 8820 can switch voice calls between a wireless carrier's cellular network and a Wi-Fi network.
