Product Description
Special Features
Some of the hyped, advanced features on the Curve 8350i include Attachment Viewing, enabling you to view and edit Word, PowerPoint and Excel docs attached to your emails. The Curve just got a bit Push-to-Talkier with the 8350i. In aggregate, the 8350i Curve is Blackberry’s answer to much requested updates on its earlier versions. These include Wi-Fi, an HTML Web, the most recent BlackBerry OS, along with a full GPS. The GPS Services Support is a handy tool with GPS Locator Built-in and extra-convenient applications like BlackBerry Maps and Telenav to make your driving requirements much smoother.
With Bluetooth Wireless Technology, 8350i supports v2.0, Handsfree, Headset, along with Serial Port Profiles. The Bluetooth Stereo Headset (A2DP) offers Streaming Stereo Music that is bound to have music lovers flexing their fingers. The Bluetooth interacts readily with other compatible (A2DP) Bluetooth Devices that you might have. The QWERTY Keyboard is a full ‘QWERTY’ – a keyboard touting backlight along with spell-checker, a function almost no Smartphone user can live without. The keyboard also comes with a fair amount of spacing and the keys are as far apart as they need to be for most users to enjoy it. It’s also an improvement over BlackBerry’s earlier SureType keypads.
PC Synchronization is a ‘must-have’ function for most business users. What this feature does is it enables users to seamlessly synchronize various organizing functions, i.e. Calendar, Address Book, Email and Pictures to your laptop or desktop – a great way to skip back and forth from your office or home PC to your Smartphone. You can be sure you’ll get more work done as well.
BlackBerry Curve 8350i Black Design
The BlackBerry Curve 8350i is pretty much an exact replica as other Curve models – in terms of shape and design, at least. However, it is a tad bit bigger given all the various added functions that are packaged into the 8350i. This also means this particular model is slightly heavier and thicker as well. Measuring a nice 4.4 inches by 0.7 inches thick and 2.4 inches wide and weighing in at 4.7 ounces, the 8350i Curve is a solid cell offering soft-touch finish on the external edges so that it gives you an easy grip.
Featuring a 2.4-inch QVGA non-touch display, this Smartphone comes with a 65,536-color output, not to mention a high resolution of 320x240-pixel. The BlackBerry OS 4.6 nicely complements this smart-looking screen. Although some of the icons are difficult to differentiate on the fly, the BlackBerry 8350i comes with a light sensing technology so that the display’s backlight is adjusted just right. Alternatively, you may also modify your home screen wallpaper and other background themes and images.
Touted Features
The BlackBerry Curve 8350i for Nextel also comes with a whopping 2-megapixel camera that has digital zoom as well as video-recording options. The camera has become such a natural part of the cell phone repertoire that users expect to have a good camera on the Smartphones. Apart from the flash, which is a definite plus for indoor shots, you can tweak the color effects and the white balance to get the desired hue that you’re looking for in your shots. However, you would need to have a microSD card in the 8350i, before you go ahead and take video. Most users do feel that video options are somewhat limited on the Curve. There are two formats offered for video – MMS or normal mode and color effects. The MP3 Player on the Curve supports WMA Music and WMV Video.
Performance on the ‘Curve’
The call quality is reportedly decent on the BlackBerry Curve 8350i, according to most reviewers. The audio appears to be sufficiently clear but the calls carried an echo effect sometimes. But what BlackBerry falls short in this area, they have made for in volume, since there is ample volume to the call.
In aggregate, the BlackBerry Curve 8350i is a pretty responsive cell phone in comparison to other Smartphones on the market, or even other Curve models. The phone hooks without any hitch to the Blackberry Internet Service. The Smartphone is capable of searching and linking to your Wi-Fi network.
