That’s pretty lofty air.

The ranking seems more complimentary than does Liane Cassavoy’s review score of 80.

Pros:

  • Great e-mail device
  • Includes integrated GPS

Cons:

  • Lacks a camera
  • Lacks consumer IM clients

Despite the “Cons,” Lianne writes:

The BlackBerry 8800’s strengths–in particular, its battery life, excellent e-mail handling, and built-in GPS features–outweigh its minuses. If you don’t need a camera with your PDA phone, the 8800 is worth a look.

Oh, and the Top four products of 2007:

  1. Google Apps Premier Edition 
  2. Intel Core 2 Duo 
  3. Nintendo Wii 
  4. Verizon FiOS
