5 out of 5 stars Best phone in market!!!   June 9, 2009

Over the last couple of years I have owned many phones such as Sony Ericson, Samsung, and Nokia. My last phone the Nokia n82 sounds great on paper but in reality had a poor screen and a even worse battery. The Blackberry however has blown me away. Email works great, Wifi internet looks great, the screen is great and even the media side holds it own. I also own a ipod touch but have started using the blackberry as first choice for music although you need at least a 8gig card inside. One thing all reviews have said on the negative is theirs no 3g and the camera is poor. The lack of 3g is a shame but its a feature I never used on my n82 and means the blackberry battery is amazing (up to 3 days of normal use). The camera I have found works well but in dark conditions the quality does break up a bit (as most mobile camera's do including top end 8 megapixel phones). I can very easily say this is a great phone, second best in market only to the iphone but cost less than half on contract.

To start of with, I've owned many different phones in the past couple of years. I've had the N95, N95 Black, N96, E90, Tocco, iPhone (which I lost) and others before that.

At first I wasn't sure about Blackberry handsets but I actually wish I got one sooner.

The best feature about the Blackberry to me is that you can use instant messenger's like MSN, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, MySpace, Blackberry Messenger and most importantly Facebook.

The phone is like a mini PC, 2G internet (really fast, like 3G), the internet is really simple to use too.

Blackberry messenger is really good, you will also get to choose a Blackberry email address.

Blackberry has a website accessible from your handset where you can download new applications like Facebook, Games etc....

Because you can do so much on the phone you will find that you use it a lot so it is handy that the battery life will last 3 days (on average).

It has a 3.2MP camera which is okay, it has video capture too.

I cannot get on with the touch screen phones (they have a habit of bottom-dialing people!) but didn't much like Blackberries until I saw this one. Products like the Bold are probably great, but they are a bit bulky - but this looks stylish and has terrific functionality. Be warned, if you are new to Blackberries - you will become addicted to them. The Curve has a 3.2mp camera as well, and even manages short video clips. Plus all the other good stuff - like e-mail and a sensible keyboard that isn't as fidly as it looks when you get used to it. It is hungry on the battery, so charge overnight is best. And no, it doesn't have 3G - but that really does not seem to matter - the speed is excellent, particularly if you have a wireless network at home/office.

This is the best looking blackberry that is currently on the market. I had a hard tim deciding between this and the Bold but the Bold is considerably bigger with only a 2megapixel cam, the most tempting factor was that it is 3g - so the internet access is faster. However, I decided to still go for the 8900 and not regretted. The 3.2 megapixel cam has a really good auto focus and does take very good photos which can then be directly uploaded to MMS/emails/facebook. I can control several email accounts simultaniously as well as have updates from facebook and be connected on msn messenger.

The only down points I've found is that the battery life is not brilliant, for me, it lasts 1.5 days (I do email a lot..) so I do tend to find myself charging it at least once a day. Another problem I found is that if you put the data service preference as "wifi preferred" then the signal bar changes to "UMA" and I found I had problem with calls, people could hear me but for me the line was very crackly. This all depends on how good your wifi signal is. However, this problem can easily be resolved if you change the preference to "network preferred" and calls are clear again.

Comes with all the gadgets you will need to run the phone. The software to backup/restore/transfer media and data is very nice and higly recommended. You can literally set up the phone very fast and have emails coming to the handset within 20mins (actually look a few mins for me on the Orange network).


5 out of 5 stars Great phone -- the best out there   July 17, 2009

Absolutely love this phone. Great screen, great keyboard, great e-mail and multimedia functionality. Chose it over the iPhone for its size, keyboard, e-mail, camera (a very very good camera with autofocus and a good flash that integrates well with e-mail and MMS), battery life, ease of use. It doesn't have 3G, but doesn't really affect my usage as I tend not to browse the web heavily on the go and for general browsing (not streaming video), it's perfectly acceptable. Plus, it has Wifi and that more than makes up for it (it also allows for UMA -- or VoIP calling when connected over WiFi. That means good call quality and no roaming charges if placing calls over wifi when abroad). Very, very happy with it and it's an excellent device.
