Hello, I am trying to decide between purchasing a used 8800 and a 8820. I am having a difficult time finding the differences between the two models. As far as I can tell the 8820 adds the wi-fi feature and allows you to use a stereo blue tooth headset.

Are those the main differences?

Also, I would like an opinion on the purchase. I can get a mint condition 8800 with a new spare battery and unopened leather case for $200. Does that sound reasonable?

Thank you for your opinions and assistance.
 
That is preety much the difference. You can use the wife with T-Mo @ home service if you wished.
PLus of course faster browsing at hotspots. I have an 8800 and am longing for 3G and or wifi. this will only serve me WHEN the slingplayer for blackberry comes out. So if I were you I would look to the future get the Bold if you can or save ur money now and get the 8800 and get the bold when u can.
 
The 8820 has lots of small improvements in build quality and keyboard quality. I have them both & would never suggest the 8800. At $200 it's way over priced. Either get an 8820 or a Bold. You will be glad you avoided the 8800.

Thank you for the information. I talked to a friend of mine who has the 8820 and he is in total agreement wth you. Patience is not a strong point with me but I am going to wait and hold out for a Javelin with Tmobile.

Thanks again.
