Finally A User Friendly BlackBerry: The Curve 8900

By Allen F. Baker

There are many phones made available from BlackBerry. Their Curve series offers users many different phones to choose from and utilize. BlackBerry offers phones with a large amount of features and design capabilities making the phones very popular among business people. One of the newest introductions to the BlackBerry family is the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900. This new BlackBerry improves on all other BlackBerry phones in design, functionalities and even multimedia functions. This BlackBerry not only makes a good business phone it also makes a great phone for anyone interested in a BlackBerry with media streaming capabilities.

The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 has numerous design improvements over many other phones in the BlackBerry family. It is the thinnest phone to date featuring a full QWERTY keyboard. In a world of bulky full QWERTY phones the BlackBerry Curve 8900 is a very welcome addition. The phone was also designed with smooth edges and clean lines allowing it to fit neatly in ones pocket or hand. While the phone is made of plastic it is quite durable. The phone utilizes different paints and finishes to improve its durability. The phone looks better than previous BlackBerry curves as well. It was given a nice modern sleek look which will help it appeal to a wider audience (BlackBerrys are known to be popular among business men and women). The Curve 8900s screen supports 65,536 colors at a 480x360 resolution, which is an amazing display. The phones screen displays color with an extra level of brightness and sharpness that cant be beat by most phones. While the BlackBerry 8900 is smaller than most BlackBerry phones the keyboard is still easy to use. Despite its size typing is very simple. The keys are raised above the phone and feel very tactile. They are even backlit which make typing in the dark easy as well.

There are many features found on this phone that would still make it a great phone for any business person. The Curve 8900 comes with DataViz programmed into it. This application allows users to open and edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. Such a feature was available on previous phones but only by downloading an application for it first. One of the new features included is an improved web browser. It now supports full HTML which gives the user a better web surfing experience. Not only is it faster but one can also stream media like downloading music and movies. Not only that but you can watch YouTube clips as well. The Wi-Fi on the phone is a great improvement but the Curve 8900 could have used 3G support.

The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 features a 3.2 megapixel camera which takes good looking photos. It is far superior to the 2 megapixel camera found on most other BlackBerry phones. Surprisingly the camera can also record video. But the quality was decent.

The phone performed very well under various tests. The phones microphone does an adequate job of isolating ones voice and prevents any background noise from interrupting the call. The speakerphone worked well also. Callers will sound loud enough through the speakerphone.

The Curve 8900 will make a great phone for anyone who purchases it. Its many features make it a nice phone for work and play purposes. Anyone cant go wrong with the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900. - 22787
