Blackberry Curve 8900, unbeatable, does everything!!

Advantages: Range of features, battery life, ease of use, constantly evolving applications
Disadvantages: None

...During the last ten years I've owned Nokia, Motorola and HTC handsets. However, when I got my 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 to others manufacturers. Being a typical bloke I didn't read the instructions and leaped straight in. I'm also a bit of a technophobe and expected to struggle a little. However, in my opinion and experience the Curve 8900 is easier to operate and navigate than any other mobile handset. I was up...

Blackberry Curve 8900 - is it worth it?

Advantages: read review
Disadvantages: read review

.... 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 saved in my inbox and use the apps to tweak it. I also love that my contract - as with most contracts on blackberry came with unlimited push email and internet.. As I travel between london and buckingham every week or there abouts its essential for checking out train timetables, facebook, listen to music (has a 1 g memory card which can be upgraded)!! The apps I use most are the blackberry maps - really great for navigating especially when your lost or looking for something in particular i.e a restaurant. I also love the blackberry to blckaberry messenger...

Review - The New BlackBerry Curve 8900

Advantages: Good looking, great battery life, great email function, good QWERTY keyboard
Disadvantages: Lacks 3G, not a great camera

... 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 about the look of the new 8900 which shares some 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...

Review of BlackBerry Curve 8900

Blackberry 8900, does exactly what is says on the tin.

Advantages: Easy to use, long battery life, packed with features
Disadvantages: turn on is slow

...The Blackberry 8900 on T-Mobile. Having put it together (incredibly easy compared to other phones), i switched it on, this was the most disappointing thing i can find... It took a while (2-3 minutes). But once on, the screen displayed a setup box, i followed it and by the end i was ready to go, including my email setup. 2 Minutes later i'd sent my first email. Unlike the typical mobile phone it has a qwerty keypad, so the getting used to sending texts etc problem was erradicated. A week later, and even more impressed. -Finally a phone with a battery that lasts me. In my oppinion the Blackberry 8900 is an excellent all rounder. I don't know how i ever managed without one. I'm hooked, why would i ever go back to another branded phone? -Blackberry all the way....

Review of BlackBerry Curve 8900

The Blackberry Curve is an excellent, well-balanced phone

Advantages: One ofthe best Business phone's with great leisure features in one solid, attractive handset
Disadvantages: Lack of 3G may put some people off and WiFi can be temperemental.

...I've recently obtained the Blackberry Curve 8900 after using a Blackberry Pearl for around 2 years. The first thing I noticed about this phone was its very sleek and appealing look, making it the most attractive Blackberry RIM has produced thus far. Its chrome edging, full QWERTY keyboard and 2.44 inch screen amount to one very attractive phone. One feature I particularly liked upon using the phone for the first few minutes was the 'hidden' lock and mute buttons making the basic processes much faster if you keep your phone in a pocket. The QWERTY keypad is a mastered feature from RIM, it's child's play writing word documents or long emails all day long. The High Resolution LCD screen is also very high quality and plays video's with very good quality. The phone takes the more sleek approach seen in the Storm rather than that of curves...

Blackberry Curve - changed my life. (or at least made me lazier)

Advantages: Feature packed, easy to use, nice big screen, good for everything.
Disadvantages: Makes you lazy, short battery life.

...Im a bit behind 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, all the stuff i used to do with my old phone (before 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...

Blackberry Curve 8310

Advantages: Great phone
Disadvantages: None

...So bear with me as this is my first stab at writing a technology review but I received a new Blackberry for work a few weeks ago and I'm really pleased with it so I though I would write a review on it. The model in question is the Blackberry Curve 8310 Smartphone. I got mine free but with price plans available with the different service providers it can be anywhere up to £200 I believe. The first thing I noticed about the phone (which is what made me choose it and as you can probably tell that I'm not very technologically minded!) is that it looks good. The phone has a lovely metallic finish, almost like a gunmetal grey colour to it although it does come in a pink version too (I wasn't allowed this for work unfortunately!) It has really nice rounded edges too and in my opinion is quite sleek. It's very light weight too, just like...

Blackberry Curve 8900 - A girls best friend!

Advantages: Easy to use, lots of features, quick internet browsing on the go,
Disadvantages: battery life isn't that long

...I have recently got the Blackberry Curve 8900 and I love it. It's the best phone I've ever had. I have it on a contract with Orange and it costs me £35 per month for 600 minutes and unlimited texts (which is good as I'm a constant texter!) - I also opted to pay an extra £5 a month for internet access on my phone, which is a must-have with a blackberry to really use all it's features. I love the full QUERTY keypad, it makes texting so quick and easy, it even has a spell check for my texts and they appear more like emails, so there is no need anymore for "text language"! The menu's are really easy to use, and you scroll around the different options using a central rollerball, which acts like a little mouse. It also has a 3.2 megapixel camera, which takes good pictures with a flash, an MP3 player and a handful of classic games...

Blackberry curve 8320

Advantages: good qwerty board and cursor
Disadvantages: rubbish camera, doesnt have wifi

...i recently got the blackberry curve 8320 as a replacement phone from cex, i am quite pleased with it, the cursor is really nice to move around the phone with, and the qwerty keyboard is really good and easy to use, i can send texts with it very fastly. this phone would be great if you have unlimited internet in your contract because it has a facebook app already on the phone and loads of applications ready to download. i say if you have unlimited internet because it doesnt have wifi, which is why i am going to sell this phone and maybe get another blackberry that does have wifi. what i did notice with mine is after a while it looks very tatty from scratches not because i mis-treat it because the phone picks them up quite well and because of the colour. the camera is pretty rubbish at 2mp and there is no video recorder. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

This is what dreams are made of

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

... 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, I'd gave up my hopes, as I'd never had a contract phone before, and how could I convince my parents to give me one now? Well, after 3 days of pressuring them, drawing up spreadsheets showing how the contract worked out cheaper than my usual pay-as-you-go phone, they'd gave in. I'd won. I was getting my Blackberry Curve!! Advantages of the Curve * The Internet Browser. It was far...
