BlackBerry Curve 8900

...I have never owned a blackberry or a smartphone before (although I do like to play on my brother's nokia e71) so I cannot compare it to other blackberries and smartphones, but as a new user only. key features: * Camera (3.2 MP) * Wi-Fi® Support * Built-in GPS * Enhanced Media Player * Video Recording * BlackBerry® Maps * Wireless Email * Organizer * Browser * Phone * Corporate Data Access * SMS/MMS so why I chose blackberry? I had been contimplating ...
...of my friends got the blackberry (and the fact I have too many friends abroad) it seemed like a really quick and cheap way of keeping in touch with everyone. Moreover the apps such as excel, word and access r really great for when you are working (in my case writing assignments) on the move. Its impossible to write a whole essay or create a full spreadsheet on the blackberry as its too small and would take forever but I can access documents I have ...

Review of BlackBerry Curve 8900

...hands on a brand new Blackberry Curve 8900 everything became so incredibly easy. When I assessed the merits of the Blackberrys I narrowed my choice down to the Curve but had to choose between the keypad or touchscreen versions. I'm glad to say that I made the right choice with the keypad version as pictured here. This box of tricks does everything I need. The Blackberry Curve 8900 has its own very specific way of operating which is very different ...
...network. The Blackberry Curve 8900 also charges incredibly quickly. I get a full battery with a 45 minute charge which then keeps me going for at least three or four days (and I use this a lot!). Even when I've used the built in GPS navigation it seems to go on and on. I have a googlemail account for personal emails and it was a breeze for the Curve to synchronise with my online account. I didn't need to be a techno-wizard to accomplish this; I just ...

Review of BlackBerry Curve 8900

...the times, what with the Blackberry storm, the Iphone 3g and all the other new phones out at the moment, but i recently got my hands on a Blackberry Curve, for free via vodafone. I have a to say, i love it. I was worried it might be a bit poncy or "business man"-like, but it isn't really. I mean, it could be, but that's not the way i use it. I use it for the simple things in life, listening to music, making phone calls, sending texts, taking pictures, ...
...it broke :(). The blackberry is a blessing and a curse in disguise as a sexy little black thing. I chose it because im a massive geek and i love having a QWERTY keyboard. I'm too old and boring to be quick enough to use a normal phone keypad to type text messages. Perhaps grumpy would be a better term. Anyway, i knew i was going to be using my new phone to surf the web, so a keyboard is a better option. There aren't many phones with keyboards out ...

Review of BlackBerry Curve 8900

== Blackberry Curve 8900 == I'd never been the type to want a Blackberry before. In fact, whenever I thought of 'blackberry' I thought of a big, bulky phone that'd practically require a full workman force to carry it. Ok, so my thoughts were a _little_ exaggarated, but essiantally - wasn't it a businesspersons phone? So there I was, looking in the phone shop. Then suddenly, I saw it. A Blackberry Curve 8900. But when I saw it was mostly on contract, ...
...won. I was getting my Blackberry Curve!! === Advantages of the Curve === * The Internet Browser. It was far more 'advanced' than I thought it would be. It's clearer than what I'd thought, compared to what I was used to with my WAP phones. Infact, I would never use the internet on my phone due to the costs, though with my contract I got unlimited internet access. * The Camera. Don't let the fact it's only 3.2 megapixels fool you. I find the photo ...

Review of BlackBerry Curve 8900

== The New BlackBerry Curve 8900 == Blackberry have released several new email friendly handsets in the last few months, including the hugely popular BlackBerry Storm and BlackBerry Bold, RIM have now introduced the latest edition to the BlackBerry family, the Curve 8900. == Design == I'm not usualy a huge fan of how BlackBerry handsets look, they just seem to lack a little imagination where design is concerned, but there is something quite appealing ...
...design characteristics of both the BlackBerry Bold 9000 and its predecessor the BlackBerry Curve 8310... It is neither too big nor too small, and unlike past BlackBerry models it is not particularly heavy, its professional looking design will appeal to all, from businessmen to students and teenagers. If you are familiar with any of my past Ciao reviews, you may remember that I recently reviewed the new Nokia N95, and raved about its perfectly designed ...

Review of BlackBerry Curve 8900

Well, this is a great product. The email function is fantastic and emails are sent and recieved quickly with even an option to remove them of the mailbox and not just delete them of the phone. However i have had some software problems. After owning the product for approx. 4 months it seemed to slow and then suddenly all i got was a white screen. Also the product itself isnt very durable, it scratches easily. However the messaging function is easy ...
...Altogether i would give this phone a 7 out of 10. Additionally the most annoying thing is that when the phone has low battery it stops all radio use (calls, emails, txt messages ect.). Whats the point? And if you run the battery down completely, after plugging back in and turning on it takes AGES for radio use to restart. I would encourage people to buy the iphone instead. ...

Review of BlackBerry Curve 8900

...and more compact than the Blackberry Bold. Pros and Cons: Pros: - WiFi Connectivity is fast, and flawless. - Blackberry E-Mail and Web Service (Operator provided) - Keypad and build quality is brilliant. - Camera quality is very good for phone snaps. - Resolution of the screen is fantastic. Cons: - Lack of 3G connectivity, although GPRS and EDGE are used to their best potential it must be said. - The Blackberry App store is targeted at the ...
...If you're looking for a Blackberry for personal use then I'd advise to go for this model, however the lack of 3G may put you off. The Blackberry Messenger service is a great alternative to texting if many of your family / friends also own a blackberry. I personally really like my Curve, I think the best thing about it is how easy it is to e-mail, text and blackberry message. Texting is really easy on the keypad, and because the phone is centered ...
