The Smartest Smartphone

If you've ever wondered how RIM has stayed on the top of the smartphone heap for so long, look no further than the BlackBerry Curve 8900. Of course, the BlackBerry is best known for its email capabilities which have long made it a favorite with corporate users, but each new generation of BlackBerry builds on the features and stylish design of its predecessors.

Featured exclusively through the T-Mobile carrier, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 is a stylish accessory that owners find easy to use for voice calls, calendar events, data access and as a trusted email device. The new 8900 series, however, stands out, as it is a lighter weight version than previous Curve models, has Wi-Fi capabilities and, of course, can be used with T-Mobile's unlimited HotSpot calling features. With this exclusive T-Mobile feature, plan minutes are not used when connected to a T-Mobile HotSpot or another wireless router granting access, making nationwide calls free while connected.

The Curve 8900 is full of great features including: 3.2 mega pixel camera Video camera Titanium colored finish Chrome highlights GPS location and navigation service BlackBerry Messenger service BlackBerry PIN messaging Full SMS capabilities Memory card insertion (comes with 256 MB card and will hold up to a 16 GB card) Bluetooth capabilities Digital media player (supports multiple media formats) International roaming

Customer reviews for the BlackBerry Curve 8900 are mostly favorable. Previous BlackBerry Curve models have always been popular among users looking for a stylish smartphone with all of the reliability users have come to rely on from RIM. With the 8900, users report satisfaction with it's lighter weight, titanium color and chrome accents. Simply put, this Curve gets high ratings for its style.

According to users, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 is the logical next step in smartphone evolution. Already the most stylish thing going, the 8900 is actually even sleeker than its predecessor and users have raved about its modern titanium finish with chrome accents. Then again, the BlackBerry Curve is always up to the minute when it comes to style.

As with other Curve models, the 8900 reportedly is not a great match for people with large fingers. While women complain about this drawback far less than men do, the Curve 8900's keyboard is too small to be comfortable for people with large hands. So, while the compact style is visually appealing, the device isn't as easily handled as some devices equipped with larger keyboards, such as the BlackBerry Bold or the BlackBerry 8800 series.

The processing speed on the 8900 is reportedly faster than other BlackBerry models, but users report that the Wi-Fi speeds can be painfully slow. Some customers also report that there are too many browsers to choose from, as Wi-Fi and the normal Internet utilize two separate browsers.

Overall, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 scores high with both consumer and corporate users. Originally designed exclusively for corporate users, RIM has made earnest recent efforts to create more consumer-friendly devices by offering media capabilities, data access and a variety of messaging platforms to its already heavily lauded push email technology. The stylishly built, feature enhanced BlackBerry Curve 8900 supports this effort well.
