The mobile phone market is crowded with a wide range of phone manufacturers. One of the brightest stars of the mobile phone market is BlackBerry, which has gifted the mankind with some of the brilliant specimens of mobile telephony. BlackBerry has already established a reputation as an excellent mobile phone manufacturer in the UK and world over.

Time and again they have been proving their superiority by launching the best of smart phones. The BlackBerry Curve or the Blackberry 8300 is the recent production of the company which is already creating ripples in the mobile market. This technologically superior gadget with latest advancements is grabbing the attention of the professionals as well as the general users all alike. The handset is enhanced with unique Blackberry features and classical design. Since Blackberry phones are more associated with business class devices, the Blackberry Curve is also no exception. It has also proved its stand in the business phone market and most of the Blackberry loyalists are going gaga over this superb smart phone.

May be because of its growing popularity, most network providers are also coming up with cheap BlackBerry 8300 deals which are available online as well as with the high-street retailers. So, despite its expensiveness, buying a BlackBerry Curve is not a very big affair. Even, some retailers are coming up with more marketing policies like free gifts, free talktime and cashbacks with BlackBerry deals.

So, what is there in this revolutionary gadget? BlackBerry Curve is studded with remarkable features. Yeah! It has lot many qualities to leave us awestruck. Blackberry 8300 is a Quad-B device which makes it functional throughout world and the connectivity features like GPRS, EDGE and Bluetooth, web browsing and e-mailing applications make communication easier. Apart from that the phone has Blackberry maps, expandable memory, voice activated dialing and trackball navigation. Its media player is also of good quality. The keyboard of BlackBerry Curve is a fully QWERTY board which is easy to use. However, the reviewers are not happy about the absence of Wi-Fi in the phone. Any way with all its merits, it has won the hearts of most of the mobile phone users.

Over the years, Blackberry has developed its own niche of followers that, mostly anyway, stay loyal to the brand no matter what. Part of this may be attributed to the fact that, really, there haven’t been many ‘bad’ Blackberry phones out there, and with the Blackberry Curve 8320, it doesn’t look like there is going to be yet. As a phone, and more than that, as a Blackberry, the Curve 8320 may be compared to various other models, most prominently the rest of the Curve series, including the 8310 and 8300.

Features of the Blackberry Curve 8320

Most of the mobile phones in the Curve family share essentially the same core features. Not only that, but they also share the same design. In this case however, that is a great thing. All the Curves are the benefactors of one of the better designs in the Blackberry lines. Seamlessly, the Curve bears its full QWERTY keyboard with pride, and yet retains a slim profile of about 15 mm. Of course, the keyboard that it has where other mobile phones would only have a keypad makes it somewhat wider; however it is not bricklike and does work for the Blackberry Curve 8320.

In turn, the keyboard itself works like a charm. Differing slightly on the 8320 than the 8310, the keyboard is one of the little improvements that Blackberry incorporated. By altering the layout slightly, the Curve 8320’s keyboard is a pleasure to use, and certainly a great advantage when using the Blackberry for emails, or even text messaging.

As with the rest of the series, there is a 2 megapixel camera that performs decently, but is nothing too special. Also, there is a media player, microSD storage support, and a trackball for navigational purposes.

One of the areas where the Blackberry Curve truly distances itself from its predecessors however is in connectivity, where it has WLAN connection ability. This one function alone is a marvel, as it allows for web access from any wireless access point, be it connecting to an office network or casually checking emails from Starbucks. By somehow managing to cram this feature in, the Blackberry Curve 8320 wins by a mile against predecessors that only have GPS technology at very most in place of this.

An Office Mobile Phone that Crosses Boundaries

Although in the past all Blackberrys have been known as predominantly office phones for their general incline towards business usage, with the Curve 8320, there is certainly the potential that others will be drawn into it. A mobile phone that can connect to wireless networks is simply a gem in its own right, and none would be surprised if that factor features heavily on anyone looking for mobile phone deals.

Somehow Blackberry has done it again, and looks to not only gain from their ever loyal devotees, but also from outside their regular pool of customers with a single, beautiful, mobile phone that has an appeal factor regardless of the Blackberry brands business reputation.
