Viliyana Filipova — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 15:47:29 +0000

With all the latest smartphones released by mobile phone giants such as Nokia and Samsung, it’s not a surprise that the Canadian company, Research in Motion (RIM) would release a new smartphone into the market, the BlackBerry Curve 9300.
Just recently, a video of the new model was leaked to the public eye which spurred talks and rumours all over the cyber world, one of which speaks about the model being a replacement of the BlackBerry 8500 series. To find cheap mobile phone deals for BlackBerry phones then compare them all online.
Even with all the chatter going on there’s still no official reports on the full specifications and features of this device. The company has yet to reveal that information as well as the launching date and the pricing of the model. In the meantime let’s check out the available information we have on this handset.
Those who are so used to the old design of the BlackBerry models would surely notice the difference in the hardware of the BlackBerry Curve 9300. Unlike old models, the design for this handset provides an easier and more comfortable access to volume control, as well as media. The media controls include buttons for previous, next, back and play/pause, which are all enclosed in a glossy frame while the volume rocker is adjusted so as to fit perfectly in the phone’s sleek exterior design.
Talking about the other control keys, the QWERTY keyboard is more spacious when compared to the BlackBerry 8500. As a result, it’s easier to type texts and messages into this handset as well as navigate through menu options, especially when paired with the optical trackpad found at the middle of the media controls. Pick up BlackBerry Curve 9300 deals online at BMC comparison website.
Seeing that the BlackBerry Curve 9300 was just recently leaked to the public and there are no thorough reviews regarding the full specifications of this device, we only have little information as to what this handset will come with.
One of the first things the company gave away regarding this model is its display panel, a 2.4-inch TFT screen that has resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. Although BlackBerry models were never really praised for their screens, this one’s display panel is said to be larger than BlackBerry 8900’s, which makes viewing of images a more pleasurable experience.
We don’t have explicit details concerning the processor of this model, whether it’s going to be more powerful and sophisticated than Bold’s 624 MHz chip or not. What’s clear, though, is that the company will make sure that this model’s CPU is spiked up. This is good news, especially since the handset will initially run the BlackBerry OS5, although there was a hint that the phone, when shipped, will come with the OS6.
Smartphones are not only esteemed for their operating systems and powerful processors, even the features for connectivity are being considered. Like those seen in previous models of BlackBerry, the BlackBerry Curve 9300 also comes with Bluetooth, micro USB port, WiFi and 3G connectivity. You can also use the model’s GPS to make your navigation easier and simpler.
