Blackberry Javelin

Blackberry Javelin


As you all might have known, Blackberry Javelin is also one of the series of Blackberry phones which is launched by RIM (Research In Motion). Long before its release date, Blackberry Javelin has gained a lot of attention because of the interesting features offered in it. Now, in this Blackberry review, I will try to mention the features packed inside the Blackberry Javelin one by one so that you would know why it can attract many people even when it is not released yet.

The first thing I want to talk about in this gadget review is the design of Blackberry Javelin itself. Blackberry Javelin is more pocket-friendly and it has a simple yet luxurios design. Supported with its bright, wide and sharp 480×360 LCD screen with integrated lens, it allows you to display your files, photos and videos very clearly. Does this series of Blackberry provide us with a camera? The answer is yes. Blackberry offers you 3.2 Megapixels camera on its back with auto focus, auto flash and video recording to enable you to take pictures or even videos of the most memorable moments in your life.

Next feature is of course its full 35 keys QWERTY keyboard. Same as any other blackberry series, this gadget offers you an easy-to-use keyboard. Eventhough the keyboard of this smart phone blackberry is more condensed it still allows you to type text much faster than using ordinary keypads. A blackberry can not come without its trackball navigation. If you have ever experienced using the trackball as your navigation tool, you might have figured out how comfortable using the trackball could be. It allows you to scroll through the emails and files freely.

Using ArgonV as the processor, Blackberry Javelin can now work faster than any other series launched before. Besides those features, this smartphone will also bring a built-in GPS, Media player, bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection, microSD card slot and mini USB port to enable you to do high speed data transfer. It also has a specially design lock button on its top which allows you to lock up the keyboard when you are not using it.

With this short blackberry review, i hope you can now understand more about blackberry Javelin. So if all the features above can meet your needs, this 3G-less smartphone could be the best choice for you.

blackberry-8900

Known as the successor of Blackberry 8300, Blackberry 8900 is said to be the smallest and the most compact Blackberry smartphone ever made until now. With its size, it really feels comfortable when you put it into your pocket. Even if the size of this Blackberry 8900 is smaller than any other blackberry smartphones, don’t worry, RIM (Research In Motion) as the manufacturers of Blackberry still provides you with a full and reliable 35 keys QWERTY keypad allowing you to do straightforward typing which is much faster than typing with ordinary keypad on any other kind of cell phones.

Just like the other series of Blackberry smartphones, Blackberry 8900 is also using a trackball as the navigation tool. Using the trackball, you will soon find out that it is really a convenient navigation tool compared to any other navigation tools used in any other kind of mobile phones. It allows us to scroll freely when you are reading your text messages, e-mails, files and browsing the internet. Just for information, trackball can be considered as a trademark for Blackberry smartphones because most of all series of blackberry are using this trackball as the navigation tool.

About the screen, Blackberry 8900 has an ultra-sharp and bright 480×360 screen allowing you to display your text messages, e-mails, images and even your videos very clearly. A 3.2 megapixels camera is also provided on the back of this gadget, next to a LED photo light. The camera can capture photos and even videos so it is all up to you. The quality of photos and videos taken by the camera are quite good. Provided with a LED photo light sitting next to the camera, we could also take photos in low light condition. To see the results of your shots, you can rely on the bright and sharp screen mentioned before.

Does blackberry 8900 have a music player or video player for entertainment? The answer is yes, it does. In fact, it has both music player and video player. The music players supports MP3, ACC and various music formats while the video player also handles various video formats including the certain DivX and Xvid files. Eventhough this series of blackberry is 3G-less, it is not a big problem after all. If you like to share or download files, you do not need to worry, you can still rely on the Wi-Fi connection, GPRS or even EDGE.

What I can say about this gadget is that, without considering the lack of 3G, Blackberry 8900 can be said to be the best blackberry to date. Looking for a slim and compact Blackberry? Blackberry 8900 is definitely what you are looking for

Blackberry (4): Blackberry Bold

blackberry-boldAre you a blackberry fanatic who are looking for a blackberry which offers you with a 3G connection, built-in GPS, a real web browser and Wi-Fi connection? If your answer is yes, Blackberry Bold is probably the most suitable blackberry phone for you? Unlike the other previous versions, this series of smart phone blackberry is not lacking of 3G, so in this Blackberry review, I can say that this is really a great improvement done by RIM( Research In Motion).

Looking at the design, you may say that Blackberry Bold is more elegantly designed than the previous versions. And guess what, it is really hand-friendly, which means when you hold it in your hand, it would feel very comfortable. It also has a very wide, sharp, and vivid 480×320 LCD screen which allows you to read email or your files very clearly. It also supports you to watch high quality video with various formats such as AVI, MPEG-4, DivX, XviD, WMV or even a 3GP clip.

Is there any camera provided with this gadget? The answer is yes, it provides you with a 2.0 Megapixels camera with flash on its back to allow you to take pictures or even videos of the memorable moments in your life. Don’t worry about the battery usage. As written in many other blackberry reviews, all blackberry series run applications which only consume a little battery power and it also applies to this Blackberry Bold so you only need to recharge the battery once in a few days unless if you use the Wi-Fi connection which consumes battery power faster.

Blackberry can not come without its full 35 keys keyboard and a trackball as the navigation tool. The QWERTY keyboard enables us to type faster while the trackball allows us to scroll through all the text or emails freely. If you have experienced using its trackball, you will realize that it is a very interesting navigation tool which can not be found in other cell phones. Writing and reading emails on Blackberry Bold is really comfortable, with its larger screen and slimmer fonts, we can easily read our emails at a glance. Last thing i would like to talk about is about the web browser, Blackberry Bold can be said to have a quite good web browser which allow us to render web pages faster, but unfortunately it does not support Flash animations. But of course it is not a big problem for us.

Well, it is time for me to conclude this Blackberry gadget review. As the conclution, I want to say that Blackberry Bold is definitely the RIM’s best phone ever. If you are looking for all features mentioned int this gadget review, getting one Blackberry Bold for you would be really great for you.
