Blackberry Curve 8520. As chips

Martin — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 09:19:53 +0000

Sometimes, thing arrive or appear and we find ourselves thinking:huh, that seems so obvious, it’s weird they didn’t think of that already. Which, as with most things in life, normally mean something is a very, very smart idea. And is going to be a very successful idea indeed. Such is the case with the Blackberry Curve 8520. And why is that, we hear you bleat? Well it’s very very simple indeed – the Blackberry Curve 8520 simply takes two thing people seem to like rather a lot and combines them. The first of these things is of course a Blackberry. Given how insanely popular these ugly little phones are we can safely say people like them a lot. The second thing is cheapness. Because no matter how flashy you are, you always like saving money, don’t you. And as you can tell from these Blackberry curve 8520 deals, the 8520 Curve is the cheapest Blackberry ever released. Ever ever ever. So cheap in fact that people are even touting this as a viable purchase for pay-as-you-go customers. And if it’s alright for those skin flints, you know it’s gonna be alright for you too.

As this Blackberry Curve 8520 review details, there are several rather vital things missing from this thing in order that it can be as cheap as it is, but as long as you’re aware of and happy with these omissions, then you could grab yourself an absolute bargain.

So go on, admit it, you’re a tight **** like the rest of us… all hail the cheapest Blackberry ever.

The Blackberry 9300 Gemini is one in a new series of BlackBerry devices scheduled to be released later this year. The phone comes in the standard blackberry shape, but stands out from the other models as it is in silver, instead of the conventional black. It has a large display with a better resolution when compared to the previous Blackberry models.
The Blackberry 9300 Gemini has a slightly rounded QWERTY keypad with rounded keys. The Send/End keys are also rounded instead of being flat. This is quite a novel look when compared to the previous Blackberry models where the keys are pretty straight edged.
The phone is rumored to be powered by a processor even more powerful than the Bold’s 624MHz processor. It cannot be confirmed until the official announcement.
The Blackberry 9300 Gemini has really good connectivity options with quad band GSM, triband UMTS and Wi-Fi. This allows the user to access the internet easily. This allows the user to access their email and even web pages easily. Worldwide roaming is also made easier and more efficient with the GSM utility. It also comes with a Bluetooth chip allowing fast close range data transfer.
The phone has a decent camera with a resolution of at least 3.2MP.This resolution has not been officially confirmed yet.
The phone also has a GPS receiver. This gives the BlackBerry 9300 additional utility as it can be an invaluable aid for navigation.
The disadvantages surround its keyboard that can seem a bit cramped at times. This phone isn’t really very different from the previous models in terms of specifications. The 3.2 MP camera is really not impressive, seeing that phones having 12MP cameras are available today. But this cannot be confirmed until the official release.
Overall the BlackBerry 9300 Gemini is a good device as it has all the standard specifications that users expect in a Smartphone today. Check out the official Blackberry site for more information on the 9300’s release date.

The Blackberry 8900 Curve – Streaks ahead of the rest

The Blackberry 8900 seems to be a firm favourite with Blackberry fans here in the UK. After mixed reviews about the their touch screen device the Blackberry Storm, Blackberry it seems, have decided to stick to doing what they know best and that is providing easy to use mobile phone devices with built in push email functionality. It is refreshing to see that Blackberry has decided to stick with its conventional QWERTY keypad, even if the buttons are a little on the small side for me (they take a little getting used to). The UI on the Blackberry 8900 Curve is smooth, with little amounts of hang time. Other noticeable features include the famous Blackberry track ball, a very bright and clear screen.
The 8900 Curve is also equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera, which although not the best in the world, it is better than on the iphone and we must remember that the Curve’s primary function here is not to take pictures it is for email communication. Howwever Blackberry have decided to throw in a music player and video playback, just to make sure its not all work and no play. Overall we think that this is the best Blackberry device out there at the moment and if you are thinking of purchasing a Blackberry today, then this is most certainly the one to go for. Check out a Video of the phone in action below:
