BlackBerry
Phones
We are in the
middle of one of the largest waves of new technology since the
introduction of the Internet. Smartphones, considered the most
productive and entertaining hardware on the market today, are taking
the world by storm. People who don't have a smartphone, can't
appreciate just how advanced the technology really is. Mobile
computers and media devices, loaded with applications and mobile
internet, these phones are the cream of the crop in cell phones.
Research in
Motion has been a leader in providing a premiere business device,
called the BlackBerry, for many years. With this wave of
consumer-based smartphones flooding the market, Research in Motion
had some work to do. They responded with great handsets such as the
BlackBerry Curve, the BlackBerry Storm, the BlackBerry Bold and the
BlackBerry Tour.
The BlackBerry Curve is the first BlackBerry to offer an internal
camera. The 2-mega-pixel camera is a great addition to the already
extensive line of applications available with this phone. The Curve
is also available without the camera installed. With a full QWERTY
keyboard, messaging and email are simple on this device. The Curve
has several models of its own, the newest of which, the 8900 model,
offers a 3.2-mega-pixel camera.
The BlackBerry Storm is the first touch screen phone for the
BlackBerry line. The Storm has 1GB of on board memory; a 3.25" touch
screen and a 3.2-mega-pixel camera. The battery life of the Storm is
much longer than some other smartphones, with 6 hours of talk time
and a 15-day standby time.

The
BlackBerry Bold comes equipped with the most on board memory of any
other BlackBerry, with 8GB available. The Bold also comes equipped
with a 2-mega-pixel camera, full QWERTY keyboard as well as
convenient keyboard backlighting. The Bold has a very sleek design,
perhaps the most attractive phone available through Research in
Motion.
The Blackberry Tour is almost identical in appearance to the
BlackBerry Bold. The major differences are that the Tour has a
3.2-mega-pixel camera and only 256MB of on board memory. Not to
mention the Bold is available only with the AT&T network, and the
Tour is only available through Verizon. The Tour also has a full
QWERTY keyboard with backlighting. The battery life is an impressive
5 hours talk time and 14 days standby. All these models come with 3G
network capabilities and one of the premiere web browsers available
on smartphones.
