Blackberry Curve
Until the Blackberry Curve 8900 came along Mac users were lusting over their IPhone. Now however there is a non-Mac phone which will please Mac users and Blackberry officianados alike.
Blackberry Curve 8900
Which cell phone would you buy?
When the IPhone
came onto the market I bought it as soon as I could and I really loved it. I still
do in fact. I don't comprehend why a lot people say that the IPhone is awful.
It amazes me how much it takes to please some people. It has some imperfections,
sure, but finally here was a phone that not only was designed for Mac users,
but also raised the bar for all the other phone companies. Many of the super
features on other phones are in answer to the IPhone.
Now with the Curve 8900 the latest Blackberry there is finally some real
competition, which is a good thing for Mac users. It seems like other companies
realized that Mac folks are some of the largest and most loyal consumers of
electronics. You maybe can’t use the CD that comes with the phone on a Mac
computer, but you can however log onto the web and do some downloads and then
you can use all the features on your Mac book, including iTunes syncing and
photos, which is absolutely fantastic because the camera is amazing. The only
thing is you need the newest OS on your Mac to use the software from the
website, but if you don't have that you can also download Pocket Mac, which
works pretty well too.
The web browser works really well, but if you don't relish it you can download
another if you feel like it. Opera mini is pretty good too. It’s good that you
are able to choose for yourself, which is something you can’t do on the IPhone.
The IPhone is still possibly the best web surfing phone on the market, but the Curve
is still good, and it is just as fast as the IPhone is. The smaller screen
means a much better battery life. You probably still have to charge it every
day, but most phones make it two days on pretty heavy use, and you can actually
change the battery if you need to which is a real plus. Another big plus is
that expandable memory is up to 16 gigabyte.
Blackberry just launched there own Application store too, that is much like the
one found on the iPhone, so now you can have all the same things that are on
the iPhone like Pandora, and Shazam.
The Blackberry Curve switches to make calls over WI-Fi, on certain plans,
saving minutes. That feature is so seamless you won’t notice the switch. Some
people might be finicky and want 3g. But they are whiners who don't really know
what they want. The Curve has a fast processor, and great WI-Fi capability, and
it is super fast plus the call quality is great. The Curve is also more
professional than the IPhone and you can do Word documents.
All in all I
would recommend switching to the Blackberry Curve You will be very happy with
the switch. The only real problem is the locking on the phone. It’s a bit of a
pain. It can become unlocked in your pocket, but that can be solved by putting
a password on the phone
The IPhone is still very good, but the price and AT&T is a real nuisance. However, don’t throw your IPhone away; a little competition keeps everyone working just that bit harder for the consumer.
