The Smartest Smartphone
The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is yet another reason why BlackBerry devices have been at the front of the smartphone class for a very long time. Offering highly secure push email access has made BlackBerry the leading choice for handheld devices among business users and RIM, the company that produces BlackBerry, continues to improve on their high quality phones with each new generation of models. The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is no exception to this truth.
In keeping with this pattern, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 has already become a hit despite its short time on the market.The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is made exclusively for use with the T-Mobile network and the 8900 offers everything you’d expect from both companies. The 8900 handles data access, voice calls, calendar functions and of course, email with the seamlessness you’ve come to expect.
Other specific features offered with the Curve 8900 are: 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 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.
Users are also raving about how sharp video and pictures display on the screen. One downside is the resolution of the built in video camera. With a mere 240×180 resolution, the 8900 didn’t score as high as might be expected in terms of video recording.
It’s already well known that the Curve is not the ideal smartphone for anyone who has large fingers; this is a complaint made by men more so than women, of course but if you happen to have larger hands, you might have a hard time with the small keyboard on the Curve 8900.
The BlackBerry Curve is notoriously difficult to operate for those with large fingers, something which is more of a problem for men than women, but the Curve 8900 has an exceptionally small keyboard. If your hands are on the larger side, you may find it easier to use the BlackBerry Bold or the BlackBerry 8800.The BlackBerry Curve 8900 does well in the processing speed department, but some have bemoaned its slow speeds when using Wi-Fi. Others find the two separate browsers (one for use with Wi-Fi connections, the other for using T-Mobile’s data access plan) to be confusing.These however are relative minor complaints against a smartphone which has been embraced by corporate users and the general public alike.
The BlackBerry may have been made for business users originally, but RIM adds in new features which appeal to a more general audience with each new generation. The stylish BlackBerry Curve 8900 has media capabilities and other features which are certain to expand its market share and keep RIM right where it is the king of the smartphone mountain.

Smartphone Web Browsers
Internet-able smartphones have been out on the market for long enough, and offered by enough major device makers, that now might be a good time to assess the state of the web browser in the never-ending smartphone contest. Especially since now is when a whole bunch of exciting announcements have come out by makers of that very software we count on to get online – web browsers.
Any article that claims to summarize the current state of smartphone web browsers must start with Opera Mini, as it is far and away the best web browser the mobile device market has yet produced. Yes, better than Apple’s Safari, better than the Blackberry Browser. And certainly better than Windows’ troubled IE.
And now Opera has jus announced the beta launch of the next Opera Mini upgrade, Opera Mobile 9.5. Once again the best is getting better, which is as it should be.
Also recently announced was the impending arrival on the smartphone scene of one of the most popular web browsers in the desktop and laptop markets among both Windows and Apple users – Mozilla Firefox. This Linux-based browser has been eagerly-awaited by its devoted fans since smartphones first went online. And now their…our wish is being answered.
A start-up named Skyfire Labs is also planning a smartphone browser launch sometime soon, but what we can expect of it is anybody’s guess. The Skyfire browser will be what’s called a “thin-client” browser, basically meaning that it runs with limited resources of its own, mostly running with the aid of Mozilla’s servers and Firefox desktop browser. Both the Firefox and Skyfire mobile browsers will initially be released, as expected, in beta form.
Personal favorites aside, the statistics cite Apple’s Safari/iPhone web browser as the reigning champ among U.S. smartphone users (this according to StatCounter), and number two globally. The number one browser worldwide, interestingly enough, has yet to be mentioned in this piece – that being Nokia’s. (And to think, all this time we though they were just the best smartphones for making actual phone calls.)
The big improvement that all smartphone web browsers have either implemented or will be wise to any day now is the integration of the desktop interface with the mobile content delivery format. Now users browsing the web on their handhelds can view a full-screen window of the entire web page (minus scroll-downs of course) just like they would on their desktop or laptop. Then to read a specific portion of the page, they just move a sort of magnifying glass over the section with their cursor and zoom in.
In the past, users could only view web pages reformatted in a messy, clunky single column resembling nothing like the web pages they’re familiar with. This made navigation next to impossible, even if one was already familiar with the layout of the web page (as it would appear on a full-sized computer). Thank goodness for progress.
