I bought 'Blackberry Curve 3G' after due research and comparisons. Though the vendor I chose (Flipkart) was a very good decision, however the phone is not perfect. nI would say I am not disappointed by the phone however for the ones who are reading this review; the decision will hang on the balance between your needs and what is offered.nn ves n-----n1. The processor is good. Hence the phone is fast. May have to do with Airtel BB connection I have.n2. QWERTY keypad and the keys are good. The functions on the keys are exhaustive.n3. The Data card is sufficient. n4. I like the interface. Is simple yet efficient. Classy font and aesthetics.n5. The call interface is good. Exhaustive options. Like the ease and quality of conferencing.n6. I love the touchpad feature! It makes the working so much easier and cooln7. Network (Phone, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) are good.n8. The email functionality and service is very good and extremely user-friendly, convenient and classy.n9. This phone is very addictive!!n10. It has a 'Password Keeper' functionality which is a God sent. Very effective!n11. Blackberry Messenger is obviously very good!!n12. Apps like Google phone app, Facebook and Twitter are very user-friendly, however that will be the case with Android too, so not much of a differentiator.nn-vesn-----n1. The GPS is disappointing. B Maps never works. Even Google maps (Latitude, Foursquare, Waze and other social GPS apps) are slow. Frustratingn2. Phone becomes slightly slow when you load more than 10 apps.n3. 'AppWorld' has very limited and n4. The camera (2 MP) is barely decent. Even the video quality is disappointing.n5. Though it was expected the music functionality disappoints. Voice quality is good however the hands-free is not music friendly. Only call-friendly! n6. The contacts directory is again exhaustive however there are no customizable options.n7. I didn't find the Word, Excel etc. functionality very comfortable.nnOverall, I have given it 4-stars. This functionality suits every requirement for me except the apps part. It is a good classy and addictive phone to have. A very good and welcome change from Nokia N73.nBuy this phone for -n- If you want to stay connected on-the-gon- Like classy attributes and aestheticsn- Not prone to use many appsn- Want to experience a rich and dignified feeln- Obviously, Business oriented
Positive Things:n1. Excellent speed which never deteriorate over period of time like all other nonBB phones.n2. Querty keypad is built-wise excellent and user friendly compared to all other Querty phonesn3. I am serving without BIS BES plan in just Rs99@month with RIM GSM so don't bother that costly BIS is must.Now those days r over. Without BIS BES also u can enjoy all apps like pushmail, gtalk, facebook, youtube,googlemaps and everythingn4. Best phone for calls - Features like conferencing, enhancing voice clarity r excellent.nnNegative Points :n1. PC software is worst one I have seen in my life. Nokia PC Suite is best one amongst all PC software.n2. 2MP camera is very disappointing. Picture taken r completely useless. Just for shake of saying that have still and video camera.n3. 65k screen resolution makes screen extremely dull, u won't like watching photo or video in it.n4. Very limited app available in marketnnConclusion : This phone is excellent for busyness people who want faster processing mobile. But poor for young generation who need mobile for entertainment purpose too.
