Mobile Phone Haven

Blackberry is one smartphone that has too many fans in earth and more running around. The latest of them all is about the new generation of smartphones - The Blackberry Tour 9630. The tour will feature a QWERTY keyboard instead of the quite popular touch screen.

Additional features in this new gen superb looking smartphone include a 256 MB of Flash memory along with expandable microSD, 1400 mAh of rechargeable battery, Backlit QWERTY keyboard for ease of arranging messages, a crisp 480×360 HVGA screen,3.2 MP camera with integrated flash and autofocus, GPS, Bluetooth V2.0, and a 3.5mm headset jack.

The BlackBerry Curve (8520), released on T-Mobile, combines a full QWERTY keyboard and touch-sensitive optical trackpad in lue of the traditional trackball. The 8520 is the first smartphone to offer dedicated media keys to control music and videos. It has a 2.0 megapixel camera with 5x digital zoom and a video recording. Customers can use Wi-Fi for fast Web browsing and T-Mobile’s unlimited hotspot calling. The smartphone is compatible with Apple computers right out of the box. I’m interested in seeing how the trackpad works out.

The BlackBerry 8220, which comes in black or red, measures 3.9-inches high by 1.9-inches wide by 0.6-inch deep and weighs 3.5 ounces. It features a 65,536-color, 128×160 pixel external display and front-facing 2-megapixel camera, while you get a 65,536-color, 240×320-pixel TFT display on the inside. As part of the Pearl series, you get the SureType keyboard (groan) and trackball navigator. The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 also comes equipped with an external microSD expansion slot.

As we’ve heard, the Storm will pack CDMA / EV-DO Rev. A, quadband EDGE, and 2100MHz HSPA, making it one of the most global phones ever to hit the market. The list of “WOW factors” (Verizon’s verbiage) doesn’t stop there, though. Its also got a 3.25-inch 480 x 360 display dubbed “1/2 VGA+,” which puts it just a notch above the Bold’s 480 x 320 setup. The screen offers tactile feedback and auto-rotation to boot, plus you’ve got that 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera with flash, 1GB of onboard memory with microSD expansion — an 8GB card is included in the box — and “enhanced background noise cancellation.” Turning our attention to software, RIM calls the Storm’s web browsing experience “best in class.” Release TBA.
