It supports up to ten email accounts at a time, giving you unprecedented access to your contacts no matter where you are or how far you are from a computer.
You will love the capacity for web browsing that with from the Blackberry Curve. Webpages show up fast enough and you are not left with that annoying few second wait for them to render. The call quality is good, though it would have been even better if it was possible to be able to get more volume out of it. If you are not constantly making calls or watching videos, the battery will last up around four days. When talking on the phone, it will last for about four hours, which puts it on a par with other high end smartphones.
The Blackberry Curve is arguably the best smartphone for its price tier, even though it might not have all the bells and whistles of other smartphones. The iPhone 4 and HTC Desire, though superior phones, are also much more expensive than the Curve. Comparable products would be the Samsung Wave or the LG Optimus. However, Blackberry soars pasts the competition in terms of battery life, e-mail capabilities, and camera quality with its newly released Curve.
