My Pride, My Blackberry Curve
When a friend asked me the other day on why I bought the Blackberry Curve,
I realised how fond I am of this little gadget. It’s light at about 110
gm, and the keypad has been designed to suit thumb typing. The
Blackberry Curve has a Speaker phone with voice Activated Dialing
facility, which is useful for me when I needed to make called while
driving. The phone also has a media player and a 2.0 MP camera which
has built-in zoom and flash. A special feature the Blackberry Curve has
is that it has the trackball, organizer and Blackberry Maps. It’s hard
not to fall in love with this phone.
Prior to the Blackberry Curve, I had a Motorola KRZR
which was slightly lighter at about 102g. It was a clamshell phone that
has internal antenna, Bluetooth, USB, PC Sync, voice dialing, speaker
phone, and picture ID. The phone has a removable Micro SD card slot
which allows me to add more music files. The Motorola KRZR I had was in
cosmic blue and silver sail color casing, which I liked very much, and
because I have many appointments and meetings to attend, the MotoSync
facility which synchronizes all contacts and calendar details with a
touch of a button, thus allowing me to keep tab of my activities.
Actually, before getting the Blackberry Curve, I did considered the BlackBerry 8100,
also known as the Blackberry Pearl. The phone uses a modified QWERTY
layout on the keyboard with an input algorithm known as SURETYPE, but I
find it not suitable for my lifestyle and needs because the built-in
memory is only 64 MB, and although it can be expanded through microSD
card, the lack of certain functions did not appeal to me. All in all, I
still love my Blackberry Curve…
