For years BlackBerry phones have only appealed to one type of consumer. With their vast business applications BlackBerry phones have always been an invaluable tool to anyone working for a large company or in a business setting. With such a specific target audience BlackBerry phones needed a way to reach more people. The new RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 makes that possible. The Curve 8900 takes what BlackBerry phones have been good at and completely revamps it for a new younger media centered audience. This phone will make a great device for business people as well as anyone else looking for an amazing phone with media streaming functionalities.
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 480×360 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.
This phone has a wide variety of functions that make it useful for business people as well as enjoyable for casual users. For starters one doesnt need to download an application to open and edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. A Curve 8900 user can do that right off that bat with the new DataViz program. Alternatively the phone features an improved web browser that supports full HTML. Wi-Fi is readily available and allows users to surf the web fairly quickly as well as stream movie and music. With the new web service users are even now able to watch YouTube clips from their BlackBerry. Unfortunately compared with other phones the web surfing is rather slow because of the phones lack of any 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 performance was very good. There is no outside interference during calls, not even from a noisy environment. Also the speakerphone worked just as well. There was little to no distortion on the callers voice coming through the speaker.
The Curve 8900 is a great phone. Anyone who was interested in getting a BlackBerry but deterred away by the lack of media applications of previous phones should seriously consider the Curve 8900. The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 will please business people as well as everyone else too.
