Thinking of Buying a Blackberry 8800 - Please Help!

travlogue · #1 (**permalink**) 08-06-2008, 03:04 PM

Im thinking of buying a blackberry 8800 but just have a few questions about it.

1. Will it be compatabile with a Navman S80?
2. Can I have MP3 Ringtones?
3. Can I have MP3 message tones?
4. What is the playback sound like? (eg loud, clear)

Thanks in advance

Navman don't list the 8800 as being a compatible device (but that does not mean it will not work with the S80). Link: Compatible Phones
However on the MP3 questions, yes and yes. (MP3 format is usable for both ringtones and message tones).
Sound quality through a quality set of headphones is quite acceptable. If you use the device as an stereo without headphones then I think you could call the sound quality adequate. (But this is subjective...

)
Hope this helps,

Firstly save the MP3s that you wish to use as ringtones/message tones into the 'Ring Tones' section on your media card. (This can be done with simple drag-n-drop on any desktop (Mac or PC). Then try 'Profiles'>select>scroll down to 'Advanced' (this is often hidden so just scroll down until you see it)>click trackball>scroll to the 'Profile' you would like to edit then just go through and change the tone on each of the applications you wish to change. Save changes and your done.
