subject: Blackberry Curve 8980 Offers Premium Level Features For Business And Entertainment [print this page] BlackBerry are getting ready to launch their successor to the much popular BlackBerry Curve 8900 and to do that, BlackBerry has not gone too much revolutionary with the design and other features. One can say this by taking a look at the leaked images and details of the phone, which suggests that this phone will be a freshened up version rather than a phone developed with a clean slate. The BlackBerry Curve 8980 is the phone that is being touted as a replacement for the Curve 8900.
The new BlackBerry Curve 8980 has nearly all the features similar to the old phone, but it has them slightly better. The phone has a 2.4 inch non-touch screen display that was previously seen in the old phone. It has, however, undergone subtle changes to make it even more attractive and appealing to the eyes. The phone has a normal full QWERTY keyboard and this being a BlackBerry, you can expect nothing but perfection and quality with this keyboard. Also, included in the phone is the optical Trackpad that is touch sensitive and will let you control nearly all the features of the phone without the need for a touch screen.
The phone will be running on the old BlackBerry OS 5 and it is not clear if BlackBerry will offer customers the chance to upgrade to the latest OS 6, which has multi-tasking amongst many other features. There is a 3.2 megapixel camera that comes with this phone and it is enhanced by features like autofocus, LED flash, image stabilization and Geo-tagging. Such abundant features in the phones camera mean that you can get the best possible images from the camera without breaking sweat and without having any technical knowledge about the working of a camera whatsoever. The phone will only be available in the black colour and some may find this to be slightly disappointing since many well-known and reputed manufacturers like Nokia and others are offering various colour options for their mobile phones.
However, what it lacks in colour options, the new BlackBerry Curve 8900 makes up for in the connectivity options as it offers nearly all the connectivity options that you can think of from a phone in this segment. The wide range of connectivity options includes the likes of 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth amongst many others. GPS is also present in this phone and you can use this facility to navigate yourself in any part of the world using the BlackBerry maps application. This application comes as standard with the phone and there is no additional charges involved to use and enjoy it. Micro-USB connectivity option provides a simple, yet, powerful solution for connecting this phone to any other computer or laptop, after which, you can transfer nearly any file that you like. The phones details are only available as a rumour and there is a good chance that some features might not make it, while there will be developments in some. Only the final product will present the real picture.
