BlackBerry Curve 8900

The recently released Blackberry Curve 8900 is one of RIM's most compact and up to date phones on the market. The 8900 is slightly thinner than previous models and has less wasted space around the screen and the keys making it look and feel like a quality product.

The new dimensions of the 8900 makes the phone look much sleeker and modern compared to previous models and with it not being too small or too big it fits comfortably in the pocket. The look of the phone itself looks both smart and businesslike so will suit both teenagers and businessmen alike.

The screen on the 8900 is bright and large which makes it easy to read emails and view web pages on the phones browser. The full QWERTY keyboard offers a reliable and straightforward way of typing and helps improve the usability of the phone when writing email messages. Each key on the keypad is raised at one edge which provides enough definition to allow the user to find them with their thumb.

Just like previous Blackberry phones, the 8900 holds a tracker ball that allows you to scroll through your emails, web sites and other areas of the phone with ease and in the long run proves very handy as a navigational tool.

There are two keys located on the right and left hand sides of the phone which can be configured as shortcuts to different applications stored on the phone such as your web browser, music player or camera. The 3.2 megapixel camera is located on the back of the phone next to an LED photo light. This helps the user of the phone to take pictures with ease and the LED photo light helps to improve the quality when taking images at night.

Also included on the phone is a 3.5mm headphone jack which allows you to plug in any set of small headphones to listen to your music on the go. There are also keys on the top of the phone which allows you to lock the handset or put it into 'mute' mode with ease.

The phone's applications and games are enough to keep anybody entertained for hours on end. Boasting some great graphics for a mobile phone you won't be displeased when using them. Different apps can be downloaded from the Blackberry App Store which is located on the blackberry website. A handy feature included on the Blackberry Curve 8900 is the maps feature which doubles up as a GPS system.

Overall the BlackBerry Curve 8900 is in my opinion one of the best phones to be brought out for a long time. For other reviews on the latest cell phoneand Nokia cell phone, as well as the latest tech news subscribe to our blog.
