Here at IntoMobile towers, we get through a lot of devices – small to large, powerful right through to barely a widget – but RIM’s range of Email-aholic BlackBerry devices are very well known amongst them.
I was recently contacted by RIM, on the basis of being able to do some reviews of their devices – however, seeing as Simon and James (our BlackBerry experts) cover virtually BBerry stuff, I thought I’d tackle things from a different perspective – the one of the business user.
I travel quite extensively, and have been running a BBerry Bold for some time now, so it was with great pleasure RIM PR agency (thanks Lisa!) supplied me with an 8900 Curve to try out. I just got it today in fact, and already am impressed.
With my business hat on, I’ve noticed:
– size: much better than the Bold in terms of overall volume – in fact, quite diminutive!
– battery: hoping its going to last a good long while, as it’s only packing 2G (when the Bold runs on 3G, the battery does drain a lot quicker)
– BlackBerry App World: this came pre-installed on my Curve (admittedly via the PR agency), but I’m looking forward to seeing whats on there.
As you may remember, I wasn’t so keen on the Storm, but this little Curve chappy is already getting a great first impression from me – more posts in the upcoming weeks to let you know how I get on!
