This mobile phone -
Black Berry Curve 8330, is fashioned with
subtly curving corners and chrome highlights. Measuring 4.2 x 2.4
inches, the BlackBerry Curve is just as slim as the Pearl (0.63 inches)
and weighs in at 4 ounces. It features a bright 2.5-inch color TFT
screen that provides 65,000 colors and a 320 x 240-pixel resolution,
and it includes a light-sensing feature that automatically adjusts
backlighting for indoor, outdoor and dark environments. Like the
BlackBerry 8800, the Curve includes a trackball navigation system
located on the top of the QWERTY keypad, and it also features an
integrated spell checker with a customizable dictionary to help
maintain accuracy while on the go. It has 96 MB of internal ROM memory,
and is expandable using MicroSD memory cards (up to 8 GB in size).
You can snap vivid photos (though no video) using the 2 MP camera on
the back of the Curve, which also features a 5x digital zoom, built-in
flash, self-portrait mirror and full screen viewfinder. It can capture
images in up to three picture quality and size resolutions that can be
shared instantly by email, MMS or BlackBerry Messenger, or even
uploaded to your Flickr account with the Yahoo! Go service. Photos can
also be immediately set as a unique caller ID or Home Screen image. You
can edit photos and create albums within the Curve using the PhotoSuite
application. Pictures can be cropped, rotated and straightened, and
flaws can be fixed by removing redeye or changing the brightness,
contrast, and saturation levels.
Listen to your favorite music and watch downloaded videos using the
included stereo headset, or use an optional wireless headphone thanks
to the Curve's support for the Bluetooth stereo audio profile
(A2DP/AVRCP). The Curve is compatible with MP3 and WMA audio files, and
dedicated volume controls are conveniently located on the side of the
handset.
