Quick Review - BlackBerry Curve 8900

Ok so my girlfriend sat down next to me and fluttered her eyelashes asking me to buy her a new phone. After a year with what can only be described as a pink gimmick sony erricson phone I said I would buy her one as long as she jumped on the BlackBerry band wagon. To my surprise she was more than excited by this proposal.

So yesterday I ordered her a spanking new BlackBerry Curve 8900 off of a well known auction website and just as the seller had promised, it arrived this morning. Now I have played around with the Curve once or twice but was always put off purchasing one for myself as the spec seemed to be a little smaller than the fantastic Bold.

Not only does the BlackBerry Curve look fantasticly sexy but it delivers what can only be described as a one inch punch ala Bruce Lee! The phones features are pretty damn good considering it is supposed to be the baby of the smartphone bunch:

• Camera (3.2 MP)
• Wi-Fi® Support
• Built-in GPS
• Enhanced Media Player
• Video Recording
• BlackBerry® Maps
• Wireless Email
• Organizer
• Browser
• Phone
• Corporate Data Access
• SMS/MMS

All in all my girlfriend is extremely happy with her new BlackBerry Curve, and now I have splashed out on her I can go ahead and purchase a new phone for myself, well at least she can’t moan now!

The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is the most pocketable BlackBerry to date and the nice thing about that is it doesn’t skimp on features. Quite the contrary, in fact this BlackBerry Curve has a ton of connection features: WiFi, Stereo Bluetooth , and even the ability to take calls over a WiFi connection to help extend your coverage. If that’s not enough, it has a 3.2-megapixel camera with flash and auto focus and a display that is downright gorgeous.
