Search Info On BlackBerries
By Mark Walters
When you mention the name Blackberry, most people think about suit wearing business types, who simply couldn't live without their quirky looking mobile phone that keeps them in touch with emails and share prices 24/7. Blackberry knows it has a bit of a reputation as the business-only smartphone, but they have set their sights on taking Blackberrys to the masses, and with the increased demand for sophisticated smartphones, has the time come for the Blackberry Curve?
Blackberry phones are renowned for their full-sized keyboard and rather chunky looks, and the Curve is no different. Most people will either love or hate the keyboard layout and slightly wider feel of the Curve, although it doesn't feel overly big, and its size does have the additional benefit of allowing space for one of the few 'widescreen' displays on the smartphone market. With a choice of colors to give your phone a little personality, Blackberry is keen to make the Curve a little less stuffy.
The Curve has had a few cost-saving changes made to it, which also help to make it more appealing to the everyday user. Gone is the chrome trim in favor of a rubber one, and a trackpad has replaced the trackball seen on the business versions, but these changes don't do anything to reduce the appeal of the look and feel of the Curve.
Blackberry have left out a number of features that some might expect, especially when it comes to connectivity, but the Curve is designed to be a basic, but usable smartphone. While it doesn't support 3G and lacks the GPS feature of some of the more expensive smartphones, it does have WiFi, and the QWERTY keyboard and software that makes setting up multiple e-mail and social networking accounts simple, means user will find it easy to keep in touch.
The processor and Blackberry operating system work well together, which means the Curve can easily keep up with the demands placed on it. Additional apps are available from Blackberry's App World, and the interface makes it easy to navigate around everything, including the music player, which is surprisingly good, if not iTunes standard.
With the smartphone market dominated by the three or four big names, it looks like Blackberry is going to make the most of its business experience and provide a cheaper alternative that gives users what they want, in a way that lets them be a little different to the rest of the Apple, Google and HTC crowd.
