Need A Business Phone? Check Out The Blackberry Curve 8300

By Christopher L. Grant

Anyone who is in the market for a new Blackberry might be intimidated at first when looking through the selection of phones they have to offer. There are many phones in the Blackberry family. While each phone might not be better or as good as the last, the RIM Blackberry Curve 8300 is clearly geared towards people who would use the phone for business as opposed to casual phone users. With its lack of media streaming and video recording capabilities this is a great phone for anyone looking to use it solely for business with its amazing corporate applications.

The Blackberry Curve 8300 hundred features a full QWERTY keyboard, which has become a staple of the series. Unlike previous models the keys are spaced farther apart, this is very comfortable. One of the more useful features found on the phone is an automatic spell check. It scans all the messages, texts, emails, and memos you send for spelling errors. This is very useful for anyone sharing important business information to their superiors or coworkers. No one would want to send out messages containing accidental spelling errors. Making the phone even easier to use is the new trackball, which moves very swiftly and smoothly.

Another great feature beneficial to anyone working for a business is that the phone is able to link up with the companies Blackberry Enterprise Server. This allows the user to send and receive corporate emails. In addition, any user who is on the enterprise server will be able to open any file format recognized by Microsoft Office. They will be able to view contracts and business proposals typed up in Microsoft Word, spreadsheets which were prepared in Excel, and complete Power Point presentations. Anyone on a business trip will surely be taking advantage of this amazing feature.

Anyone thinking about purchasing the Blackberry Curve 8300 should remember that there is no support for any media streaming. This comes at a huge disappointment when one looks at the great service found in V Cast technology. The phone still works as a passable MP4 player. One can upload their music and video files into flash cards and play their files that way. With no 3G support the web browsing suffers. Certain websites take a while to load and in general browsing the web is rather slow.

The camera found on the phone is also passable. It offers the standard image capturing options. The picture quality is adequate. Also the phone cannot record any video. This feature was seldom used by business people anyway.

If you are a business man or woman the Blackberry Curve 8300 is the ideal phone for you. It offers many functions which can be utilized in the corporate world and bring forth many advantages. - 22787
