Scrappier than its BlackBerry siblings, one can immediately notice the cheap build quality, but as a result, the Curve 8520 offers a level of durability that other BlackBerry devices can't provide. Despite its shortcomings in the design department, the device is quite functional,...  4 of 5 BlackBerry TourEditor Rating: It’s a well-known fact in BlackBerry land: CDMA users tend to get the shaft when it comes to new devices (with the exception of the Storm). While the GSM side was enjoying the Curve 8900, Bold, and OS 4.6, CDMA users were stuck with the Curve 8330, the ancient 8830 World Edition device, and an antiquated OS 4.5. Sure, the Pearl Flip 8230 landed on the scene last month, but despite the new design and OS 4.6, many overlooked it in... 4.3 of 5 BlackBerry Curve 8900Editor Rating: The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is the most pocketable Curve 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... 4 of 5 BlackBerry Curve 8350iEditor Rating: Overview
Positives: Well-constructed BlackBerry, feels great in hand, running OS 4.6, offers new media options to Nextel customers.Negatives: Not-so-great call quality, slow data speeds, unpredictable text messaging
It's no secret that iDEN has been a step behind when it comes to new phones. While their CDMA and GSM counterparts were enjoying fast, colorful devices with a slew of capabilities, iDEN users were stuck with... 3.7 of 5 BlackBerry StormEditor Rating: The first BlackBerry to sport a touchscreen (that’s more of a push-screen) has arrived. That’s right, the BlackBerry Storm. There’s a lot to like about the Storm and with every new form factor there’s also a lot to learn. Read: be prepared to invest a good week to really master the Storm. That said, the Storm is a good looking device and has many features found on the BlackBerry Bold. If you want a slick looking touchscreen... 3.8 of 5 BlackBerry 9000-BoldEditor Rating: The highly anticipated BlackBerry 9000 Bold has finally arrived and it just might have been worth the wait. The Bold sports all the favorite features wanted on a smartphone: WiFi, 3G data speeds for fast surfing while simultaneously conducting calls, stereo Bluetooth, multiple e-mail options and of course, the ability to view and edit word, excel and PowerPoint docs. But the real story here is that the Bold isn’t just the workhorse productivity... 4 of 5 BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220Editor Rating: What’s Good: surprisingly music-friendly; external play/pause button; stereo bluetooth, standard headphone jack; UMA capable; unique form factor; slick new BB interface; more compact than other BlackBerries; still has the BB office apps that keep executives aboard, but feels like a fun phone.
What’s Not Good: no GPS; weak web browsing; some lag here and there.
Bottom Line: If you're looking for a strong messaging device that works with a... 4.3 of 5 BlackBerry Pearl-8120 TitaniumEditor Rating: Not rated 0 of 5 What’s Good: Integrated WiFi for Web, Email, and HotSpot@Home UMA Calling; Trackball is easy to use; Integrated IM Clients; Second-to-None Push Email; 2MP Camera with Flash; 3.5 mm Headphone Jack; Compact Size
What’s Not Good: OS Menus and Fonts Remind me of 1989; SureType QWERTY board will be too small for some; Video capture quality is mediocre
Bottom Line: T-Mobile’s new Pearl takes a good thing and makes it better by way of integrated... BlackBerry Curve-8320 Pale GoldEditor Rating: What’s Good: Excellent QWERTY keypad; WiFi for Email/Web and UMA voice calling; Legendary push Email system; Trackball navigation; Media player with 3.5mm headphone jack.What’s Not Good: No 3G data; No GPS; Web browser not on par with best smartphones; Memory card hidden behind battery.
Bottom Line: T-Mobile’s version of the Curve is one of the best smartphones around. It lacks high speed data access data but adds WiFi for data access and... 4.5 of 5 BlackBerry 8800Editor Rating: Legions of BlackBerry addicts have long traded style for functionality. BlackBerry devices were never at the top of anyone’s “Best Dressed Phones” list, and the BlackBerry OS looked positively archaic next to state-of-the-art phone platforms like Symbian and Sony Ericsson’s Walkman series. RIM took a big step towards changing all of that with their latest batch of handsets. Slimmer, sexier, and sporting an interface often likened to Apple’s... 4.5 of 5 BlackBerry 8703eEditor Rating: BlackBerry's 8700 series has been a hit with power email users who want always-on, real-time access to their email on the go. Research In Motion initially released the 8700 in GSM-only configurations, but recently brought the handheld's roomy but compact form factor and big, bright display to EV-DO users.
The RIM BlackBerry 8703e for Sprint combines BlackBerry's beloved push email technology, QWERTY... 4.5 of 5 BlackBerry Pearl-8100 BlackEditor Rating: Blackberry devices were known worldwide for business and professional use only, but not anymore!! The new Blackberry Pearl has a lot of new features that older versions were missing. The new Blackberry Pearl also known as the 8100 has a camera, media player, expandable memory and a lot of new features as well. The Pearl is targeted toward teens as well as business professionals and that is why they have added the extra features.... 4.5 of 5BlackBerry Pearl-8100 BlackEditor Rating: BlackBerry PDA phones have become so synonymous with on-the-go email over that terms like "BlackBerry Thumb" (a form of Repetitive Stress Injury) and "BlackBerry Addiction" (a form of, well, addiction) are becoming part of our cultural lexicon. Ask around and odds are you know at least a few people who own BlackBerries, and at least one who feels utterly naked without theirs.
BlackBerry has recently introduced it's first... 4 of 5 BlackBerry 7100gEditor Rating: The BlackBerry 7100g is an amazing quad band hybrid PDA. The 7100g is the same phone as the 7100v and 7100x. The excellent design makes it much more than just a phone. It is a phone, organizer, and a very much needed business tool. The new BB 7100g feels like the phone features are primary and PDA functions are secondary because of the sleek design.
The QWERTY / numeric keypad is brilliant and it’s easy getting used to. The 7100g is not too... 4.3 of 5 |
