I'm looking for a low cost adaptor/breakout board for a 64 ball BGA chip (0.8mm pitch) PDF of chip datasheet
I want to use the chip with a bread board, any suggestions?

BGA chips are very unfriendly for prototyping with directly. Generally if a chip comes in BGA form, you should purchase a pre-made development board with the chip already attached. Even if you made your own PCB, they are very difficult to solder correctly with hobby level tools (Yes there are youtube videos of guys doing it with a candle and a hairdryer or something, but that's not the norm). The only BGA protoboard adapters I've heard of are from SchmartBoard -- but a quick look at their site only shows 1.27mm and 1.00mm pitch BGA adaptors, 0.8mm is too small for them. A random google search found these ZIF Sockets...but I suspect they may be out of their price range. Yes, that's right, pick your jaw up off the floor, that price is for a single piece.
EDIT: I just looked up the part number, ADS1298 from TI, and it comes in TQFP. Get that instead!! It will be much cheaper, easier, and save you a ton of headache instead of trying to prototype with the BGA part. When you're ready to sell a million of your gadgets, then you can hire a factory to solder on the BGA's for you, but until then, stick to the TQFP.
