BlackBerry is an iconic name in these times but some people still ask the question, what is a BlackBerry phone? Historically it has been the mobile phone of choice for business users. They traditionally come with a Qwerty keyboard and they pioneered the email phone, ideal for people to keep in touch while they worked. Recently they have also launched more affordable handsets such as the Curve range.

The BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 looks very traditional with its large keypad. It is a 3G-enabled mobile with HSDPA and Wi-Fi included to enable fast internet access. Despite being small, the keypad is still easy to type on. The raised keys mean it is difficult to accidentally press a key, reducing spelling mistakes. It has an optical trackpad as well to help navigate menus and websites. There is also a good selection of apps and games available for the BlackBerry.

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is an attempt to appeal to two different markets, business users and smartphone aficionados. It has a touchscreen for accessing menus and the internet, but also possesses a slide-out Qwerty keyboard. The screen is 3.2 inches in size and provides for a good web-surfing experience. It comes with both Google Talk and BlackBerry Messenger, ideal for keeping in touch with your friends and business colleagues. It has a good 5-megapixel camera with autofocus. The screen resolution is lacking at 480 by 320 pixels but if you like a real keyboard on your phone then this phone is a good choice.

What is a Blackberry phone? Blackberry represents one of the most popular mobile phone brands available today, and continues to grow in the global market. There are several models available that offer standard features which include brilliant full-colour displays, good internet connectivity, cameras and media players.

Full QWERTY Keypads

One of the best-known features of a Blackberry phone is the full QWERTY keypad. This makes functions such as text messaging much easier. Users who frequently use their phones to access and edit documents can perform these functions much more easily.

Cameras

Most Blackberry models have a camera with a minimum resolution of 2-megapixels. These cameras have the features needed to take quality pictures that can be shared. Some of these also have the ability to shoot videos. Your photos and videos can be sent to others right after they have been taken.

Media Players

Another favourite feature of these devices is the ability to download, store and share music. If you prefer to keep music stored on a digital device, a Blackberry makes this simple. Some of these media players also have the ability to play videos, in addition to music.

GPS

GPS navigation is a popular feature of many phones. If you are travelling and need directions, these programs allow you to find your destination much more easily. A GPS system is built into most Blackberry models. If you need more enhanced features, you can download helpful apps.

BlackBerry mobile phones were developed by Research In Motion (RIM). These are the most successful brands of smartphones. Many people believe that they perform functions that no other smartphone can. This assumption is not exactly true because many smartphones are catching up. However, the capabilities BlackBerry mobile phones have to offer are still pretty impressive.

These models combine the latest mobile-office technology with the best in mobile entertainment. They are well known for being some of the best models for multi-tasking. BlackBerry mobile phones have very useful QWERTY keypads and optical trackpads; two features that make them very useful in working with documents, surfing the web and typing quickly. It is a mobile office that can be used anywhere, at anytime.

BlackBerry mobile phones can now be obtained from many mobile phone service providers, such as O2, 3 and T Mobile. They are also coming down in price, especially the older Blackberry models; although they are not the latest in technology, they have functionality that surpasses several other smartphones. The latest Blackberry models are truly superior handsets.

Along with being good for work purposes, BlackBerry smartphones have great multi-media features; they support texting, faxing, web browsing, push-email and email synchronisation, just to name just a few features. They also have a useful document editor. Some also have a touch screen. Even without the free gifts that are often offered when renting BlackBerry mobile phones, they are a good option for work and play.

Blackberry mobile phones are becoming increasingly popular with users from all walks of life – not just business users. The Blackberry Bold 9780 is no exception. Available on deals from all providers, there will undoubtedly be a package that suits your needs. The design of the handset is popular and easy to use, offering a QWERTY keyboard and a handset that fits neatly into the hand for easy messaging, so is perfect for texting and emails.

The operating system is Blackberry OS 6 that offers a refined media player and an easy to use home screen. Browsing the web is easy and speedier than on previous handset models, although the screen is very small, so it is not the ideal handset for those who want to spend a lot of time on the internet. The camera has been improved and is now a 5 megapixel unit, which takes good quality images and works faster than previous models.

There is an app that allows you to easily access all your social networking accounts, from Facebook to Twitter. There are not as many apps available as for the iPhone or Android phones, but Blackberry mobile phones still have enough to keep most users happy, although you may find that some apps are more expensive than apps for other types of phones. The phone has a good solid design that is ideal for regular use and is perfect for those who mainly use their phone for messaging.

The BlackBerry Bold 9780 uses the Blackberry OS6 operating system, which allows access to the best applications from the home screen and has an updated browser and media player. The Qwerty keyboard is excellent and the angled keys allow for rapid use. There are some very good BlackBerry Bold 9780 deals around; Orange offer a free handset with 700 minutes and unlimited texts on a 24-month contract for only £32.50 per month.

The screen is very small compared to other smartphones, but the new browser, with the auto-column functions, means that the user does not have to keep scrolling to read an article; it is much faster than the previous OS version.

The camera is faster than the Bold 9700, as well as having a very good 5-megapixel resolution. There is also a Social Feeds app, which collects everything from BlackBerry Messenger, Facebook, Twitter and RSS feeds. There are not as many apps available from BlackBerry as Apple, but there are some good quality ones, though they might be very expensive.

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 has a solid build quality and the universal search, though powerful, is now beginning to feel outdated. BlackBerry 6 OS works better with touchscreen and the video recording is poor.

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 will remain popular with its current fans, especially business users, but will probably lose sales to the iPhone 4, HTC Desire HD and Samsung Omnia 7, especially for anyone looking for touchscreen rather than Qwerty keyboards and more and better apps.

Mobile Phone News and Reviews :BlackBerry Storm 9500 Smartphone Review

The BlackBerry Storm 9500 is the first BlackBerry mobile phone to incorporate the clickable touch screen, meaning you have to actually press down on the screen as opposed to tapping the screen like you do with an iPhone. The screen is large with the benefit of sharp clear images which is perfect for the playback of videos or viewing photographs taken on the handset’s built in 3.2 megapixel camera.

The latest mobile phones are offering helpful functions such as GPS and the BlackBerry Storm 9500 doesn’t fail to continue the trend. Boasting fast email transfers both with the receiving and sending of data, this handset is popular for those who like to be able to connect on the go. The stylish but sturdy design won’t disappoint even the most hard to please users.

The lack of Wi-Fi really disappoints where the Storm is concerned and the camera, although fine for shots taken on a clear day or with good light fails to reach expectations when used under poor lighting conditions. The touch screen will not be to everyone’s taste and for those used to using the iPhone the Storm can appear a little ‘clunky’ and not so easy to navigate. When you factor in the very poor battery life, this handset may have too many negative points for some users, but for those looking for a reliable BlackBerry mobile phone with good features then the BlackBerry Storm 9500 will tick all the boxes.

The Blackberry Curve has proved to be a popular addition to the range of Blackberry mobile phones. Its dimensions are just 11cm by 6cm and it is just 1.35cm deep, so it fits nicely into a pocket or handbag and is reasonably light at 110g.

This particular blackberry is equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera, which is an improvement on the 2 megapixel cameras that most other models have, and taking photos is much easier with the digital zoom and auto focus functions. There is a video function on the camera and although the internal memory is fairly small at 256MB, this can be increased dramatically with the use of a micro SD memory card. This is ideal for those who like to listen to music using their phones, as the Blackberry Curve 8900 also has a music player.

The Blackberry mobile phones were brought out mainly for business users, although many people also have them for personal use, and accessing email applications is a breeze with this handset. The phone is equipped with a QWERTY keyboard which is ideal for texting and writing emails, and business users will find that they are able to access and make alterations to Microsoft Office files.

The Blackberry range is available on many mobile phone deals. A quick search of the internet will allow you to compare deals from the latest providers. As contract mobile phones, the length of commitment will range from 12 months to 2 years and costs will vary.

Today RIM has announced its BlackBerry App World 2.0 is out of beta and will start to push out the update notification for current BlackBerry App World user in the next few hours. The new version will support carrier / credit card billing support, BlackBerry ID and new section for application listing.

When we launched the beta just a few weeks ago, we were able to offer new views, and
carrier and credit card billing support. We also integrated BlackBerry ID as a new
way of tying BlackBerry customers with their use for easy device switching and
management.

* Credit Card Payment Option
With the new BlackBerry App World, customers are able to purchase applications using
major credit cards, including Visa and MasterCard. Carrier billing may also be
supported by certain carriers.

* Easier Application Discovery
BlackBerry App World adds new tabbed sections for various applications lists. Users
can horizontally swipe or scroll to quickly view the Top 25 Free Apps, Top 25 Paid
Apps and Top 25 Themes, as well as the Newest Apps and Recently Updated Apps.

QR barcode scanning is also supported, allowing users to scan a QR code associated
with an application from anywhere – the web, print ads, brochures, etc. BlackBerry
App World will quickly find the related application, and automatically open and
download its page.

* BlackBerry ID
BlackBerry ID provides customers with a device-independent user identification (ID)
for BlackBerry App World. It enables credit card payments and allows customers to
seamlessly transfer their personal library of free and purchased apps when they
switch to a new BlackBerry smartphone.

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is a BlackBerry mobile phone targeted at the consumer market as opposed to BlackBerry’s traditional business market. The BlackBerry Bold 9700, compared with older BlackBerry mobile phones, looks slimmer, with more attention paid to the media functions.

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is 4.29 by 2.36 by 0.56 inches, and weighs 4.3 ounces. Its range of features include six hours of talk time, 19 days of standby battery life, a main display of 480 x 360 pixels measuring 2.44 inches and a camera with 3.2 megapixel resolution, flash, auto focus, image stabiliser and digital zoom. The multimedia features are video supporting MPEG4, H.263, H.264, DivX 4, DivX 5, XviD, WMV and flash video and a music player supporting MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, and AMR files.

The mobile phone has a full QWERTY keyboard, BlackBerry browser, microUSB, Wi-Fi and 2.1 stereo Bluetooth.

The excellent email functions and the superlative battery life are among the BlackBerry Bold 9700’s best review points. The replacement of a rollerball in earlier BlackBerry mobile phones with an optical trackpad is very successful. Although the screen is not the largest available in smartphones, generally it is clear and sharp. The QWERTY keyboard is easy to use and highly responsive.

On the downside, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is quite complicated in its display of menus, which can be somewhat confusing to navigate.

The majority of BlackBerry Bold 9700 deals offer free minutes, unlimited texts and a free handset.
