BlackBerry Curve 9360

Integrated location hardware in the BlackBerry Curve 9360 offers you the ability to know where you are all the time and get local points of interest and directions. It is also now useful for sharing your location with others through social networks and other Web services.

As with most smartphones now available, this handset delivers both an internal GPS and Assisted GPS antenna to your pocket and works along with software such as the included (preinstalled) BlackBerry Maps application, along with other maps applications available to bring you location-based services. Maps applications allow you to instantly see where you are, and quickly get to see local shops, restaurants or other points of interest, as well as offering you fast directions to get to any of them, or another destination entirely. If you are constantly on the move, and out and about in new and different places, these features can prove invaluable, and they are all within your mobile phone. Simply use the optical trackpad and full 35 key keyboard on this handset and view where you are, or get directions to view on the 2.44 inch display. The lGPS and A-GPS hardware will do the work while speed is maintained by both the 800 megahertz processor and the 512 megabytes of random access memory offered by the Curve 9360 respectively.

Along with these obvious mentioned services, location services also now include search engines such as Google automatically finding where you are searching from so that it can better provide you with search results wherever you go. You can also use new social networking features such as Facebook Places to check in and let friends on the network know where you are, thereby sharing your location with them instantly. Some companies, such as coffee chains have seen this as an invaluable way to get your custom, and offer discounts for check ins. It doesn't end there either, as location-based functionality can also include your multimedia, through Geotagging. This impressive capability, and feature of this handset's 5 megapixel camera, as with others such as the BlackBerry Curve 9380, enables your phone to store or tag the place where a photo or video was captured alongside the media. This then makes it easier for you to sort it into albums or the way you view it on the handset itself.

Location services are a great way of being able to communicate and always know where you are, and how to get to the next place. They are just one of many sets of features offered by the sleek design and lightweight offered by the BlackBerry Curve 9360.

Blackberry News

The BlackBerry Curve 9300 3G is the newest handset to come from the RIM team; it is a mid-ramge handset pitched halfway between the business mobile phone user and the consumer.

The Curve 9300 is not expensive and is designed to help those who have not yet converted to a smartphone to take the leap with this cost effective option.

It has 3G connectivity as well as Wi-Fi, and promises fast internet browsing while apps and themes can be easily downloaded from the BlackBerry App World (which has recently just been updated).

Visually there is not much to report, the Blackberry Curve 9300 looks a lot like many previous Blackberry's with the QWERTY keyboard and rounded corners. In look sit is very similar to the Blackberry Curve 8900 while it is being pitched as the newer, quicker Blackberry 9700.

Now for a look under the hood:

There is a microUSB port sitting alongside the 3.5mm headphone connection and the left-hand convenience key, which has a default option set to the voice-dialer shortcut.

The camera button is situated on the other side just by the volume controls.

On the top of the phone are the media controls – play/pause, skip forwards and skip back. This signals the intention of RIM to pitch the 9300 3G as a media player as well as a business mobile phone.

The BlackBerry Curve 9300 3G offers a range of connectivity options to keep business mobile phone users up and running wherever you are, with Wi-Fi and GPS along with its namesake 3G network.

The 2-megapixel camera is a bit of a disappointment and lacks consistency with the rest of this media focused phone, the flash and autofocus on the BlackBerry Bold 9700 are much better.

The Blackberry Curve 3G 9300 has great quality email abilities as with the other Blackberry models, also the BlackBerry Messenger for instant messaging other BlackBerry users for next-to-nothing is a great function to have especially if you use Blackberrys across your business.

The homescreen icons can be customised to whatever your most-used apps, functions and web shortcuts are, and the full menu is easy to organise into folders.



The menu is made up of rows of icons but this is supplemented by webs of text-based menus to navigate through within applications. You can adjust settings, carry out functions and put the knife to applications. At first the choices available in the menus can be intimidating and may take new Blackberry users a while to get used to. The idea is that you can get to your favourite applications as quickly as possible and the Blackberry curve 9300 does achieve this so all is not lost - just depends on your patience!

As I am a little late getting around to this post it is important to note that the Blackberry OS6 will be updated within the next few days - on October 14th to be precise so with the update we can expect great improvements in connection speeds and functionality. I will do a seperate post on the upgrade.

As with all Blackberrys the BlackBerry App World now has thousands of good quality apps that can easily be accessed from the phones main navigation.

You can also customise your themes through buying themes from designers or build your own, using different fonts, background images, ringtones and the like.

Most standard functions of the handset are very easy to launch. To make a call you can either hit the call button, or simply start typing a number or name of a contact from the homescreen.

It is a bit of a hassle to write a new text message as you cannot simply go to your inbox and be presented with an obvious option to compose a new message, you have to launch the internal menu by hitting the BlackBerry button, then scroll through the list of options 'til you reach 'Compose SMS'. However, you can also launch an SMS from the contacts section too.

It's easy to make calls, end calls and to hang up a call, you don't have to wait for the sometimes-slow proximity sensor to kick in and give you the option.

Sound quality on the Blackberry Curve 3G 9300 is excellent which is obviously a vital necessity for the business mobile phone user. Voices could easily be heard and background noise didn't interrupt or distort the conversation as with some phones.

The reception was generally good and only got weaker in the well known black holes that some of our friends habitate in.

The phone book is a heavyweight. It's quite texty but you can add photos to your contacts. It wasn't that easy to synch our facebook friends to our Blackberry contacts so not great socially.

To make up for it, you have seemingly endless options when setting up new contacts, from nicknames, job titles and home and work addresses, to birthdays and relevant webpages.

This might be information overkill for the non business user, but if you're syncing the handset with your Outlook account, then this is a great function as much of your data can be automatically saved by the BlackBerry Curve 9300 3G.

You can also group your contacts into easily manageable related groups so that they are easier to get group messages to so useful for seperating your teams/employees as well as your social contacts.

There is a good search functionality on the homescreen for finding your contacts - you simply start typing their name and then you will be displayed with a list of contacts from which to choose from - click and you start dialling!

You can slao assign a fast dial function to 23 of the 26 alphabetical QWERTY keys so great for rapid dialling your most used contacts. You can also set the default contact option at a person by person level from calling to emailing.

BlackBerry gained their competitive advantage through their superior email functionality and the Blackberry 3G 9300 is no traitor to this tradition. To set up a webmail account just put in your address and password. You can synch your contacts as you add them with your Blackberry address book.

If you want you can re-route all of your emails and texts to one central inbox which is useful for rapid management of messages but if you are active on multiple email addresses then this can become quite a confusing function.

The other great messaging function that all BlackBerry handsets offer is BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). This means free texting to other Blackberry users.

The BlackBerry Curve 3G's QWERTY keyboard is good, but nothing special with no improvements on previous models; its raised buttons are better than the the flat slide-out QWERTYs found on some phones but it is overshadowed by the sharply angled keys of the BlackBerry Bold 9700 which makes it a little easier to cock up the typing.

Automatic text correction was generally doing it's intuitive job, and those of you who work in an aggressive foul mouthed office environment will be chuffed to hear you can continue your office culture on the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300. All you'll have to contend with is the disapproving underlining of the more offensive curses rather than automatic corrections.

The internet browser on BlackBerry OS 5, which will be running on the BlackBerry Curve 3G at launch, is well known to be pretty crappy. It's slow to open web pages, even slower to render images, only offers one tab at a time and is generally a bit of a pest to use, hopefully OS 6 will put an end to this!

When browsing you really have to make good use of the zoom function in order to see smaller images and read any text. Zooming in to get a better view of text tends to be quite smooth, although we were often left with extremely jaggedy pixellated images after a zoom-in.

The optical track pad gives you more freedom to move the cursor around the web page than a D-pad would, although it did tend to be overly responsive, making selecting that tiny little link a real hassle.

It also comes in handy when you want to select text to copy and paste on the BlackBerry Curve 3G, as you can grab massive chunks of text in one quick swipe.

Sharing links is very easy, which is a great function for passing advice and tips to your clients and colleagues. It is an option in the browser's menu. You can choose to send the link in an email, via SMS, MMS or BlackBerry Messenger. The other standard feature is the inclusion of bookmarks, and you can organise these by named folders to keep things tidy.

The camera on the BlackBerry Curve 3G is a pretty poor affair. When you launch the camera app, the only options you're offered onscreen are to zoom in or out, and take the picture. If you need a good camera for work then this is not the business mobile phone for you.

To fiddle around with the (admittedly limited) options requires you to click the BlackBerry button and enter another of those text-heavy menus. Here you can play around with the white balance, picture size and picture quality, as well as opt for monochrome or sepia options if you're feeling a bit old school.

It's nice to have the sepia and monochrome options, we suppose, but they do smack of being token options, and almost highlight the limited amount of features the camera offers.

To zoom in and out, you simply roll a finger across the optical trackpad – easy enough, but a mixed blessing.

If you want to take an image using the handset in a landscape position, then you can use the shutter button on the side of the handset, but if you're after a portrait shot then you must click the optical trackpad to take the picture.

Unless you're really quite firm with the button, you'll find yourself zooming when you already had the shot nicely framed up – something we found to be a real annoyance on several occasions.

Zoomed in images lose a lot of quality. Here you can see the same flower from three different zooms; the first is zoomed completely out, the second 3x and the third is zoomed in the full 5x.

As you can see in the zoom images, the camera isn't too bad at handling colours when there's a big difference between them. But the red of the flower still comes out a little glassy, despite being taken in average daylight – bright but a little overcast.

Where the camera struggles with close-up shots (in the image below we hadn't even zoomed in – the fuzziness comes from a lack of autofocus) it handles long-shots much better.

The images aren't massively crisp, either, which is no more than we'd expect from a 2-megapixel camera. Suffice to say, this isn't the ideal handset for shutterbugs.

The BlackBerry Curve 3G doesn't do too badly handling a lot of light. As you'd expect, it seeps into the whole image, but the dark areas do retain a suitable amount of contrast.

It's also worth noting that the 2-megapixel camera lacks the flash of the BlackBerry Bold 9700, so low-light photography is very much miss and not a whole lot of hit.
Like the still camera mode, video recording on the BlackBerry Curve 3G offers the most basic customisation. The only options here are between two sizes (normal or a smaller MMS size) and colour effects (normal, black and white or sepia).

One feature we did appreciate, however, was the ability to pause recording then continue. Rather than leaving us with a bunch of little video files needing editing together on a PC, we had one handy video file with several shots in (like the video clip below).

Like the still camera, the video camera's ability to handle bright colours is not bad, but you do still get that unreal gloss over objects like flowers.

Differentiating between similar colours is a bit of a struggle for the BlackBerry Curve 3G. In real life, the greens of the leaves in the video above were noticeably different, but here they merge into one Kermit-like mass.

You'll notice that the wind fluttering through the leaves looks a little jaggedy and jumpy, and we can assure you it was the handset not nature that was at fault here.

It's a shame that you can't zoom while filming. You have to decide on your zoom before hitting record, otherwise you'll have to manually move closer to your subject.

Emailing videos works fine as long as the file size isn't too big. Any video clip over about 30s will need to be transferred by USB instead.

BlackBerry OS 5 is not known for its brilliance in the media arena. While the BlackBerry Curve 3G does display track information and album artwork, the music player is very basic. It does offer you the option to shuffle or continuously play albums, artists and tracks, however.

The other notable features is the ability to either build your own playlists or command the BlackBerry Curve 3G to create an automatic playlist featuring artists of your choosing. There's no FM radio on board, so you'll want to make sure you have plenty of music tracks to listen to.

Sound quality is average – even through quite high-quality Sennheiser in-ear headphones – but at least it's better than the BlackBerry Curve 3G's built-in speaker, which is tinny and awful.

Of course you can also control the media player by using the buttons on the top of the handset. This controls both the audio and video players.

The following audio files are supported: MP3, AMR-NB, AAC-LC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, Flac, Ogg Vorbis.

Video playback isn't particularly brilliant quality on that 320x240 pixel screen, but the video player is quite nippy, and it skips happily between clips.

If you don't have much stored on the handset, you can visit YouTube within the mobile browser – we'd recommend sticking to the Wi-Fi to do this.

MPEG4, H.263, H.264, WMV9 video formats are all supported on the BlackBerry Curve 3G.

The image gallery displays all your photos in a pleasing thumbnail layout, but viewing them on such a small, low-quality screen is not exactly satisfying.

Uploading images to Facebook and other social networking apps is easy – you just do it through an option in the internal menu. There's no such option for sending videos to social networks though, although you can share them via email or Bluetooth.

Suffice to say, this isn't the best handset for anyone looking to video-blog on the go – we'd point you in the direction of the iPhone 4 for its front-facing camera, or the Sony Ericsson Vivaz which records in HD and makes sharing videos super easy.

The headphone jack is located on the side of the handset, just above the USB connector. It's often a little easier on the headphone connection if it's located on the top or bottom of the handset – particularly if you're going to be storing the handset in a pocket.

You'd think, given the location of the media playback controls on the top pane of the BlackBerry Curve 3G that this might have been a sensible place for the headphone jack too. It's a 3.5mm connector, so you'll have the freedom to use a wide range of headphones.

We managed to get the BlackBerry Curve 3G to last two full days on one full battery charge, although it was getting very touch-and-go towards the end of day two.

During this time, we were taking photos, using email, web browsing and downloading apps, as well as making several calls.

This is just about in line with what RIM has stated for the handset's battery life – it offers 4.5 hours of talk time, 29 hours of music playback or 19 days of standby time.

Physically speaking, the battery is tiny – which no doubt helps the BlackBerry Curve 3G retain its low weight.

The native Google Maps app on board the BlackBerry Curve 3G is not the worst we've seen – the Sony Ericsson Vivaz's poor efforts could well take that prize.

A recent update has vastly improved matters. Getting directions between locations has suddenly become much easier – a matter of simply filling in clearly marked boxes with your destination and locations.

Although accurate and much nicer to use post-update, the maps could still be a little slow to load when you're out and about and relying on the 3G network. The compass, however, is brilliant – quick, accurate and easy to navigate by.

It's just as well that Google Maps comes pre-loaded, given the monstrousness of BlackBerry's own native maps app, which is clunky, confusing, slow and generally makes life difficult for the user.

Gone are the days when you couldn't use BlackBerry Desktop Manager with Apple Mac computers – now you can quite happily back-up, restore and sync your BlackBerry Curve 3G, even if you're completely PC-less.

Creating a backup file from your phone is a simple two-click process, and if you're in the secret service or work for a complete loser who checks your emails, then you can encrypt your essential data from within the Manager.

It's a shame that the Desktop Manager doesn't include a quick and easy way to import your images and videos, though, and there's no overview of your applications already stored on the handset.

Using the 3G in areas of good reception is a breeze – we tested ours using a T-Mobile SIM and found that most of the time we were pretty happy with the level of reception we were getting.

These were the glory days, when downloading was a quick and easy matter, browsing the web was not too painful, social networking apps updated quickly and emails were in and out of our inboxes like hipsters to a Starbucks.

Too bad then that as soon as signal dropped a notch, the handset became a little unstable. We'd find ourselves spending frustrating minutes watching a blue progress bar cross the screen at slower than snail's pace, and often lost signal altogether where moments before there had been plenty. Very frustrating and unreliable.

Luckily the Wi-Fi fared better. We had no problems maintaining a signal, and web-based services were notably quicker.

The Bluetooth connection was also fine, and the BlackBerry Curve 3G does offer A2DP connectivity, so you should be able to use wireless headphones with no problems.

Applications

BlackBerry's App World is not as well-stocked as the Android Market or Apple's App Store, but there is a range of useful, good quality applications. You may find these a little more expensive than on other platforms, however, and there are a lot of rubbish apps.

Downloading applications and themes is very straightforward. Once you've found an app you like the look of, just simply select it in the App World and hit download.

Whenever possible use wireless connections as we found the 3G to be a bit unreliable at times.

The BlackBerry Curve 3G does come well-stocked with onboard apps though. As well as the traditional calendar, notebook, clock and calculator apps, you'll be able to get going with Windows Live Messenger straight away.

There's also a suite of office-based apps – Word To Go for reading and editing word processed documents, Sheet To Go for spreadsheets and Slide To Go which, unsurprisingly deals in slideshows. All of these are good little functions for managing your workload on the move - essential for the business mobile phone user.

If you're sentimental about your text messages, then you may appreciate a handy little app called ''Saved Messages" to which you can, er, save messages that matter to you separately from your inbox.

Of course, you'll also get an array of BlackBerry games on board the BlackBerry Curve 3G. From the illustrious BrickBreaker to the frustrating WordMole, they'll keep you busy on the commute if you forget your book.

Like its fellow Curve handsets, the BlackBerry Curve 3G is one of RIM's highly capable handsets aimed at a more youthful, fun-loving consumer than the traditional business customer.

It's pretty similar to the rest of the Curve range, including the BlackBerry Curve 8500 with which it shares its external media controls. The design is slightly updated, though, and the 3G connectivity gives it an edge.

The BlackBerry OS 6 update, on its way to the handset in the coming months, will set it apart from older models like the rest of the BlackBerry Curve range.

What it shares in looks with the BlackBerry Bold 9700, it sadly lacks in specs – the screen is a lower resolution, the QWERTY less well-angled for speed-typing and the connectivity and processing powers leave a little to be desired.

The optical trackpad is a little more skittish than that of the BlackBerry Bold 9700, however. We found it a bit unwilling to make small movements, which meant we often had a difficult time selecting the options we wanted.

The Curve 3G doesn't purport to be all things to all people, unlike it's newest BlackBerry cohort, the BlackBerry Torch.

That said, the BlackBerry Curve 3G is definitely a step up from the candy-bar stylings of the BlackBerry Pearl 3G, and despite the similar functions and connectivity, that full QWERTY keyboard really sets it apart for serious emailers.

Having forgone the touchscreen route, the BlackBerry Curve 3G shares little in common with many mid-range Android phones like the HTC Wildfire and Sony Ericsson X10 Mini – at least in terms of hardware.

Many will prefer the candybar-like keyboard positioning, preferring it to the slide-out QWERTYs found on the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro and LG GW620.

In terms of apps, the BlackBerry Curve 3G can't really compete with the likes of the iPhone and Android handsets like the HTC Legend. Quite aside from the issues of stock, the hardware lacks the additional functionality – like a gyroscope, a high-res screen or a touchscreen – that often make or break a good app.

However, it's at least on a par with the Nokia E72 that features a similar hardware layout and uses the Ovi Store's stock of applications.

Because of the BlackBerry Curve 3G's looks, it's all too easy to compare it to the BlackBerry Bold 9700. But these comparisons are unfair, as the lower-spec BlackBerry Curve 3G will always come off worse.

There's no camera flash, a lower-res screen, less powerful processing power and a lower-quality keyboard.

Still, the Curve 3G retains many of the great features we loved on the BlackBerry Bold 9700. Its design is svelte and attractive, the optical trackpad is incredibly (sometimes a little too) responsive and both handsets will enjoy the benefits of BlackBerry OS 6 when it's released in a few months.

But forget looks – the BlackBerry Curve 3G is very much a Curve handset. Low-cost materials and build place it squarely in the Curve range, even though we prefer the more grown up, slimmer looks of the Curve 3G, compared to earlier iterations like the BlackBerry Curve 8900.

To be honest, there's not a great deal between the Curve 3G and its range-mates – the main difference is its connectivity, and the 3G is a real boon.

The BlackBerry Curve 3G's physical QWERTY keyboard is great for text-happy users, and this is what will set it apart from other budget social networkers like the HTC Wildfire and Samsung Monte.

Having said that, if you've used a touchscreen in the past, you may find yourself missing the additional app functionality and multi-touch web-browsing that's present on most higher-end Android smartphones like the HTC Wildfire and HTC Legend, as well as the iPhone 3G and all its more recent iterations.

It's been difficult to judge the BlackBerry Curve 3G as a handset in its own right, so similar is it to the other members of the Curve family. But it has held its own, and despite a spec sheet not necessarily as chocablock as most smartphones, the Curve 3G isn't a handset we'd be completely ashamed to own.

During our time with the BlackBerry Curve 3G we grew to love that QWERTY keyboard, even though it's not quite as good as the BlackBerry Bold 9700's effort.

As usual, BlackBerry's email and messaging tools are top notch, and we were impressed with the call quality and great reception that was generally offered by the handset.

BlackBerry curve 3g

With the BlackBerry OS 6 upgrade imminent, the interface can only get better, and we're looking forward to advanced media features, meaning we can take full advantage of the physical media buttons atop the Curve 3G.

However, these were the things that made us stand over the phone with a bowed head and a frown;

As people who've spent a lot of time with more powerful handsets, it was impossible to stop ourselves getting frustrated with the elements of the Curve 3G we wanted more from.

The screen's comparatively low resolution is one of the ways that RIM is able to keep the cost of the handset down, but for media fanatics it just won't cut it. The 2-megapixel camera is woefully restrictive. Similarly, the clunkiness of the menu system and the onboard browser will frustrate until you can upgrade the software.

BlackBerry Bold 9900 Combines QWERTY and Touch

The BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 is the mobile phone that has been recently launched by BlackBerry in order to strengthen its position in the touch screen mobile phone department. Even though this is not a full on full touch screen phone, it still has the capabilities of the full-fledged touchscreen phone. This combined with the usual business features of a BlackBerry phone has made this new BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 one of the most outstanding devices to have been launched this year so far. The BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 looks like any other BlackBerry phone, but with the added steroids in terms of the looks, it is by far the best looking BlackBerry phone ever.

The BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 will be offering a 2.8 inch touch screen display that is going to utilise one of the best resolutions to have even been seen in a BlackBerry phone. It is phone that measures 640 x 480 pixels, which will make the images look truly outstanding on the screen. Even though this is not the largest screen by any means, it will be able to compete with the largest screens in terms of resolution at least. The BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 will be having the capacitive technology in the touch screen display, while the optical trackpad and touch sensitive controls are also present to improve the user friendliness. Just as in any a BlackBerry phone, the physical full QWERTY keyboard is definitely one of the best features of this new phone from BlackBerry.

The BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 will be able to offer 8 GB of storage internally. This almost compensates for any lack of complimentary memory card, but one can also use the 32 GB maximum support offered to the memory cards. The 768 MB of RAM offered along with this phone is another feature that will show that it is one of the phones aimed at providing excellent performance. The BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 will also be the first phone to feature the BlackBerry OS 7, which is expected to bring a number of changes to the previous version. Even though most of the changes are cosmetic, it will require the brute force of the 1.2 GHz processor in the phone to run the various applications and the operating system. It is going to offer the most crucial feature that is essential for the future of mobile phones and it is the NFC support. It has been spoken in the same breath as the processors and is going to be the future of the mobile phone industry.

It is quite heartening to know that the BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 comes with this option as standard. The BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 will offer the usual business features and applications, while also providing a five megapixel camera for taking photos. This phone is expected to be launched in the Q2. The UK launch is expected to be accompanied by the arrival of this phone under various networks.

Fortunately, with a BlackBerry 8830 cell phone spy data extractor, you can learn where your employees go and who they talk to, whether they're going out for lunch or on a lengthy business trip.

How can cell phone spyware such as this benefit you? For one, it's safe, efficient, and discreet. Once installed, it continues to work indefinitely. Ideal varieties are those that track the phone in every way possible. This includes phone usage, text logs, address book lists, and even GPS logs. This allows you to make sure that your employees are using their paid time the way they're supposed to.

Installing your phone spy software is a simple matter of creating an account online, following the installation directions, and rebooting the phone. Once you reboot the phone, the spyware will remain working for as long as the phone is turned on and working properly. You can begin spying immediately as the software sends logs, texts, and more directly to your account. You can also track their movements via Google Maps, which provide you a detailed account of where they traveled and what time it was when they did.

The best thing about phone spy software such as this is its diversity. It can be installed on virtually any phone, including Windows Mobile, Symbian S60, BlackBerry phones, smartphones, iPhones, Android phones and much more. You don't have to be a digital whiz in order to take advantage of this software-it does everything for you, leaving you free to watch your employees without any hassle whatsoever.

Top 5 Things You Must Know Before Buying Used blackberry 8830

With the convenience of the internet, everything can be delivered to your doorstep. With this easy access, people seem to utilize the internet more than leaving their homes to shop. When exploring your options to buy a cell phone online, you will see a wide range of new, refurbished and used cell phones to choose from. Make sure to educate yourself and take the time to read and learn about each offer open to you.

5. Beware of Empty Promises

Many Cellular companies (even the Big Names) will attempt to sway you one way or another when it comes to extras, accessories, and unbelievable deals. Research what you WANT and what you NEED in a phone--but most importantly--what you can AFFORD. If a deal seems underhanded or unclear, it probably isn't for you. Know how much data plans, activation fees, etc. cost before jumping into a 50% or "free" deal when buying cell phones or you might wind up paying more than you bargained for.

4. Know the Networks

This seems like a no-brainer, but it's easy to get wrapped up in the extravagance of new technology and completely overlook the fact that you've chosen the wrong network. iPhones, for example, are currently specifically for AT&T, unless they are refurbished or unlocked phones. The U.S. currently has several major players in the network game, but they don't all operate the same way. Do some network research before buying a cell phone to determine whether your area has a good level of network support.

3. Know where to shop

Welcome to the future. You can buy cell phones and cell phone accessories essentially anywhere you go; from 7-11 to a Mall kiosk to all of the retail giants. On one hand, this seriously opens up your market and the consumer (you) are given plenty of freedom to look for the best deals. But let's stick with buying a cell phone online for now. You already know which companies you trust--it's natural to have an unparalleled reassurance when it comes to the big boys: Best Buy, Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, etc.

However, if you're looking for the best deal on the web, your hunting skills need to be fine-tuned. Don't simply settle for the first site that advertises "Savings." Browse around for awhile--and if you find your "Dream Deal," then start to research the company itself. How much background do they have in the business and how is their business ranked/trusted by other consumers?

2. Inspect the Features

This is where a lot of online buyers have trouble. Various cell phone models have drastically different features. In a market where every single new development is a chance to one-up the competition, you can expect a lot of small variations. For example, if you want a mobile device with an exceptional camera, make sure you look at the megapixel number in the product description. Many phones (even some BlackBerry models) have extremely weak Camera specs--or, in the case of the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition--no Camera at all! There are tons of tiny elements that could make or break your decision when it comes to going with any kind of model phone. Do you want to be able to access the internet? Do you want a keyboard or touch-screen? Are you in the market for a basic phone or tons of cool applications?

And this brings us to our final step:

1. Know what you want

When shopping for technology in person, you are given a unique advantage. You have the opportunity to research what you're looking for in depth, and then discuss with a (sometimes) knowledgeable individual the specifications you are looking for.

Perhaps they salesperson will divulge some useful information that you hadn't picked up on, or maybe you will impress the tech nerd with how much you've learned. Either way, this is a concept that falls particularly short when doing your shopping online. While it is true that many sites have a LIVE CHAT or provide you with the ability to contact someone in the company for questions, you will never truly know how you like the phone until you're used to its shape, feel, features, and performance.

When buying a new or refurbished cell phone online, be sure to do thorough research. Phones can be expensive, and the more use you get out of them, the more their cost pays off. If you wind up purchasing a cell phone that you're unhappy with, it can be extremely aggravating to say the least. Know how much you use your current phone (if you have one), how much you PLAN to use your phone on a day-to-day basis, and then plan for emergencies and overuse.

How to Find Genuine Blackberry 8830

Got yourself a Blackberry 8830 and want to spice it up a little? While it's amazing on its own, the wide range of accessories available for it makes it even more amazing, sometimes it makes you wonder how intelligent a person is to create such products. Well, if you're on the search for good accessories that are both practical and stylish at the same time, look for it online.

While it's easy to breeze through a store and look for the accessories you'd like to buy, it'd be much easier and less tiring to do it online. What's more, you'd be able to get the items at better prices and you'd save so much time and travel money and energy as well. So to get started, you'd first need good and stable internet connection so that you can browse through many online stores easily and you'd also need a secure method of payment. This could be either a credit card, debit card or an online banking account. While all stores accept credit card, not all of them allow debit cards of bank transactions so it would be best to have a card ready to use.

When you've got those two ready then you're good to go! You don't have to visit a particular site to shop online but instead you can search for many stores by using your web browser. There are a wide range of accessories, all of them unique and have got their own functions to help enhance the features available with your phone. Don't go crazy and buy everything you see but first check what's available, know what they're all used for and then decide which items you want. Usually, the most important one would be the Blackberry cover since it helps protect the phone and keep it from signs of wear and tear. You should also make sure you've got a charger for home and office, a memory card and a screen protector if you haven't got one already. There are all the extra accessories such as the Blackberry dock that is a platform for you to leave your phone and acts a charger as well, and there's the bundle charger if you're an avid traveler, the extra battery, a wide range of covers, pouches, skins and casings and so much more.

With so many things to look at, you should visit different stores and see if you can find the most cost effective items. Sometimes buying all the items from one place can give you the benefit of bundle discounts or a cut from postage whereas other stores would need to increase the price of postage due to the extra weight. So take time to read the terms and conditions of the site and you'd be able to find out the most effective way to buy your items. For cheaper options, steer away from the big companies and look for small ones, you could try secondhand online stores or you could buy from the clearance site of various manufacture sites. These ones are usually your best bet because they might have items from old stock that they're waiting to clear.

Hit the cyber world and look for your favorite accessories!

Best Cellular Phones in the United States

Since there are different kinds of cellphones available and almost all, if not all, look best for us, we decided to feature the best cellphones per category that are available in the United States.

In the American Flip Cell Phone Category, one of the best cell phones is the Samsung Stripe which features a talk time of 360 minutes, a Bluetooth, a 1.38 SAR level, and a basic camera. Its weight is 2.8 ounces and has an external screen.

Android 2.3 or BlackBerry Is Best For You

My take on it is it all comes down what is more important for you on your phone - quick messaging or multi-media functionality.

The general consensus from the corporate sector is that no one does it better than BlackBerry, specifically the Bold, and to a lesser extent the Curve.

The quality of the full QWERTY physical keyboard on the Bold and Curve BlackBerry is hard to beat when it comes to speed and ease of messaging and emailing.

In addition, the synchronization of your work emails with Exchange is just that much better on BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) than with the Android operating system. Both Android and iOS (Apple) are catching up in this area. However, a large number of companies trust BES's security and reliability and require all employees to use BES, making having a BlackBerry a necessity.

This might well change in the near future, Android is currently running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) on the latest devices. This operating system is still fresh out of the box and with version 3 (Honeycomb) coming soon to Android cell phones. There might well be a shift amongst the big corporations in the near future to Android friendly synchronization servers.

When it comes to getting a phone that has the very latest technological specifications, at the best price, and with the widest variety of models, no one can argue that Android wins that race. There are more than forty models of the Android phone available in the US, and growing quickly. So you can be sure to find something that fits your fancy in the Android community.

Four reasons you will like Android:

1. In contrast to the iPhone (which is comparable in specifications to the Droid X2, Droid Incredible2, MyTouch, HTC Thunderbolt) the android devices are more competitively priced. With some of the more entry level Android phones, like the LG Optimus, Motorola Cliq, Samsung Epic, etc. free with a two year contract.

2. The Android phones has great user customization ability - a lot better than the iPhone and in particular the BlackBerry. For the brave, you can 'root' your Android device and then instal unofficial updates, apps and add and remove apps and settings to your likings.

3. The web browsing ability is the fastest. You able to load basically any website. Android versions 2.2 and greater supports Adobe Flash 10.1 which the iPhone does not. A number of the Android phones can take advantage of 4G browsing speeds, which is significantly quicker than 3G. iPhone and BlackBerry both run only on 3G. The new BlackBerry Bold 9900 coming out with T-Mobile this Summer and most likely Sprint and Verizon shortly will have 4G capabilities. Much to the disappointment of many iPhone fans, the iPhone 5 (which is going to be called iPhone 4S) is not expected to have 4G connectivity when it launches in September. This is disappointing as the iPhone, unlike the BlackBerry, is targeted to users that like to make extensive use of browsing the web and installing apps.

4. The processor speed of most of the Android devices are of a high level, enabling you to run a number of applications at once without causing your phone to 'crash'. Most of the premier Android phones have either a 1 or 1.2 GHz processor. Samsung is preparing to launch a 2 GHz dual core processor at the end of the year which will run in Android phones.

The biggest negative of most of the Android phones is the poor battery life. The HTC Thunderbolt, MyTouch and other of the 4G phones will probably last you about a day at the best of times before you need to recharge.

Google is aware of this and the new operating system, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), is more energy efficient and will give you the option to manually monitor your apps power consumption.

Battery life problems for smartphones, especially ones with large touch screens, is a problem not unique to Android. You will most likely have this issue no matter which device you choice to go with.

To sum things up, Android is probably the answer for you if you are not planning on doing large amounts of text messaging and emailing. If so, have a look at the BlackBerry Bold or Curve, which has arguably the best physical QWERTY keyboard and much better battery life (the Bold 9780 has 13 days standby time and 6 and half hours talk time).
