Small in stature but big on features, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 provides excellent mobile email capabilities, a great camera with video, a music player, GPS, a solid battery, Wi-Fi connectivity, and loads of memory.
Pros
Like the other Curve models, the 8900 has a full QWERTY keypad with trackball navigation. Similar in looks to the BlackBerry Bold, the Curve 8900 is lighter and smaller, making it pocket-friendly.
The generous 2.44-inch screen with 480 x 360 resolution is brilliant for reading email, surfing the web, viewing photos, or watching video. Users who like to compare mobile phones will find that the Curve 8900’s screen is as impressive as the iPhone’s.
For mobile email applications, the Curve 8900 excels. It is compatible with all the major web servers, most corporate accounts, supports attachments, and includes a viewer / editor for Microsoft Office files.
The camera is the best of any of the BlackBerry mobile phones, with 3.2 megapixels and flash with autofocus. It likely won’t replace a digital camera, but in a pinch it will perform beautifully.
Cons
The only significant drawback worth noting is the Curve 8900’s lack of 3G connectivity. Seeing how other BlackBerry mobile phones are equipped with the technology, it’s curious that the Curve 8900 is not.
Conclusion
Easily one of the best BlackBerry mobile phones to come along in some time, the Curve 8900 handles a wide range of communication and entertainment functions with style. Aside from the missing 3G, there’s not much holding this phone back.
