Unlocked Phone This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) as well as EDGE data connectivity. It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. Staying Connected With BlackBerry's push email technology, your email will find you without having to initiate a connection. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, notifying you as new email arrives. In addition to the text, you can also receive and view attachments in a wide range of popular file formats, including Microsoft Office, Corel WordPerfect, and Adobe PDF. Browse the web with the integrated, full-featured browser, which quickly and efficiently displays HTML pages as well as enables you to set up RSS feeds to stay connected to up-to-the-minute news and blog posts. And keep up with your contacts using a variety of instant message (IM) networks, including the integrated Blackberry Messenger as well as downloadable clients for Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, and Lotus Sametime. For corporate users, the Curve delivers all the enterprise email and messaging capabilities you've come to expect. It's supported on BlackBerry Internet Service, giving you access to up to 10 work or personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts), as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server, enabling advanced security and IT administration within IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise environments.
With a refined design, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphone supports both your professional and personal mobile communication needs to help you enjoy a more organized, balanced life. In addition to a sleek, stylish design, the powerful new smartphone includes a large, vivid display--the highest resolution available on a BlackBerry smartphone--as well as a 512 MHz next-generation processor for fast and responsive performance. The striking 2.4-inch, 480 x 360-pixel display (65K colors) serves up crisp images, text and maps so information is easier to read, even when you're on the go. It also includes a light-sensing feature that automatically adjusts backlighting for indoor, outdoor and dark environments. Like other Curve models, the Curve 8900 includes a trackball navigation system located on the top of the QWERTY keypad, and it features an integrated spell checker with a customizable dictionary to help maintain accuracy.
You can also capture video clips on the go, with two resolution choices--480 x 352 pixels for saving to your PC and 176 x 144 pixels for sending via MMS messaging. In addition to recording videos, the Curve 8900 also supports mobile video streaming as well as videos saved from your PC. It's compatible with DivX, XviD (MPEG4 Advance Simple Profile), H.263, and WMV3 formats. Listen to your favorite music using the included stereo headset, or use an optional wireless headphone thanks to the Curve's support for the Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP). The Curve is compatible with a wide variety of file formats (.3gp, WAV, MIDI, AMR-NB, G711u/A, GSM610, PCM, MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA9/10 Standard/Pro) and dedicated volume controls are conveniently located on the side of the handset. Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This phone also provides Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 2.0 + EDR), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and file transfer. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server. With the Voice-Activated Dialing (VAD) feature, you can initiate a call just by telling the Curve who to call from your contact list--either via the integrated speakerphone or using an optional Bluetooth wireless headset. Other advanced phone features include advanced sound technology that cancels out background noise and echo, dedicated volume and mute keys, and the ability to customize the Curve with polyphonic and MP3 ringtones. The BlackBerry Browser on the Curve 8900 is designed to make on-the-go Internet browsing fast and fun--you can even start a search right from the home page. Navigate sites and zoom in on content using a trackball-controlled pointer, set bookmarks and view your history. Plus, the BlackBerry Browser works with a host of other applications to make things like online purchasing and tracking information on your favorite pages easier. The easier a map is to read, the easier it is to follow. Together with BlackBerry Maps, the crisp, colorful screen of the Curve 8900 is designed to make it easier to find the location of businesses, restaurants, concert venues, parks and more by allowing you to check maps and get driving directions quickly and conveniently. When you're connected to the network, you can even launch maps from your address book. BlackBerry Maps is also designed to help make trips easier by providing route options like fastest or shortest and displaying directions visually along with text-based turn-by-turn instructions. Whether your instant messaging (IM) account is with Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ or Windows Live Messenger, you can bring your IM community wherever life takes you. Like the desktop versions, these programs offer features like avatars and emoticons. And, because BlackBerry applications work together, you can also start an IM chat from your address book, call or email an IM contact while chatting or even check your calendar right from a chat.

 Rating:  - The best BlackBerry I have ownedFirst I have owned and used a lot of BlackBerrys. I started with the 7100, and have moved up from there to use the 8700, 8800, 8100, 8300, 8310, 8320, and now my 8900. I have also used a Storm 1 some as well. The 8900 is an amazing phone. Its fast and snappy. I don't have the constant problem of running low on memory I had with my 8320. The WiFi is great when I am somewhere with weak signal, or best of all on an airplane equipped with WiFi. I was able to surf, IM, and Tweet the entire flight. I have never had a flight feel so short. The phone is a nice size to fit in my hand for typing or calling. The keypad is great and I have no issues typing on it. The only complaint I have in the design is the placement of the charging port. It is a little inconvenient to hold and charge, but you learn to work around it. I have no complaint about the memory card slot being under the battery. I don't have a need to change it. By far this is my favorite BlackBerry I have used and would recommend it. It works perfect for heavy email, texting, and messaging that I do. Rating: - The best BlackBerryGood Morning. I live in Venezuela, and I buy this phone with many expectations, and I was not disappointed. It is a mini laptop phone, he has all the tools to keep you well informed and connected to the Internet. The emails arrive in real time, has speakerphone, bluetooth, GoogleMaps, and one modest gps. Great expandable memory, keyboard perfect, neither too large nor too small. The resolution of your screen is phenomenal. The 3.2 megapixel camera has autofocus. The only detail, if you use the internet much much like the facebook mobile upload photos, and the messenger, because the battery only lasts 1 day. In no other complaints. Purchase a longer battery life and be happy. It has many applications, I can open PDF files, I think I need only get applications to open compressed files. The size and weight are ideal. If more light would give the feeling of being poor, if not heavier than many believe is outdated and is made with materials global warming. The agenda is amazing, very intuitive. The trackball is strange at first, but 3 days and ends becoming familiar atmosphere. It's the best phone I could buy, and amazon offers the best price and with free shipping. Here in Venezuela, is the best for the blackberry messenger, we Venezuelans are more accustomed to SMS messages. 100% recommended. Greetings Rating: - best than the boldi thought i would never find a better phone than the bold but this is by far much better, its smaller, faster, the camera is great, its a must have for bb lovers... Rating:  - One of the best smartphones out there.* (This review is for the Unlocked Javelin) * I will try to give a review that will help you decide if the phone will work for you, maybe you can relate from my experience or needs. First of all ask yourself what other options you currently have on the Blackberry market. Bold has a pricey tag and its not that great, the Storm has received so many negative reviews that is hard to think of a reason why to get it, and now, the Javelin. I've been using a Blackberry Pearl for over a year now, and even though I found the user interface a bit confusing, I enjoyed the fact of having so much connectivity in such a small package. I'm not an enterprise user, just a guy who wanted to have Blackberry messenger available to chat with my friends worldwide, facebook, msn, etc. Some of my frustrations with the Pearl were software speed, lack of internal memory (by now you know that adding external memory doesn't help at all, for all major apps are installed in the BB's main memory) and the built in web browser. I've had the Javelin for two weeks now, and I'm absolutely pleased. I'm not going to go into details of how it looks, chances are that if you are reading this is because you think is a nice looking phone, and you'd be right. This processor makes the phone perform really fast, most apps run smoothly. User interface is improved, although I still believe that in could be much more user friendly. The 3.2 MP camera is actually pretty decent, not the best, but just right. All this plus the fact that it has a bright and crisp screen compared to other smartphones out there. I'm not going to say anything about the lack of 3G, if you buy this phone you should know that, and there is no reason to give it a negative review because of it. I've been reading issues about the speaker, but personally I've had no problems with that nor reception. Heres a major flaw though... Let's face it; if you use your Blackberry as much as I do, you probably know that the battery doesn't last an entire day. Especially when you're hooked on on IM. One of the nice features I loved on my Pearl was the fact that the Usb charger was very popular, so even if I lost my wall charger I could always find a Motorola charger to plug it in to, buy one for 3 bucks, or just grab any of the supplied USB cables from an external hard disk, PS3 controller, mp3 player, etc, and just recharge it using my computer. So battery life was never really an issue for me. RIM has introduced a new plug that killed that convenience. It might not look like a big deal, but now I realize how important it is for me. It doesn't change the fact that is a great phone though. Bottom line, if you're making the switch ask yourself if you are in desperate need of 3G network. If so, don't even bother getting this one. If not, you will find yourself pleased with a blackberry that look so over the edge, and with great performance. I would strongly suggest buying a car charger and an extra wall or PC charger. Does it deserve 5 stars? No. Its not just about the phone, it's the software itself, and I know RIM can do so much better and add more features, better looking menus, address book, calendar, etc. Why is the iPhone so successful? Its cool and its easy to use. The blackberry market is changing, and there is a growing market of conventional users wanting a cool phone with great features, all supported by the Blackberry Platform. Rating: - Great product. Works perfect.I bought it, and brought it to Venezuela. Brand new.... and works perfectly with MOVISTAR. I sincerely recommend it.
