Blackberry Curve Review

Today I will be briefly reviewing the Blackberry Curve. This is a high end phone release by Research in Motion (RIM)for AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Alltel, and Verizon. This phones closet competitor is probably only the Apple Iphone. Blackberry is a huge hit among corporate executives and overall smart phone lovers alike.

The GSM version of the Blackberry Curve has gps for navigational applications. It has a stunning 2.0 megapixel camera, and bluetooth capability. Its push email system is second to none in terms of setting up and overall experience. I am currently using a Treo 700p for Alltel, and I must say that even the mighty Treo doesn’t hold a candle to RIM’s emailing system. The blackberry curve is also a music player so if you are riding on a gas scooter, you can listen to your tunes if you have some ear phones.

The one thing I like about this cell phone over the iphone, is the QWERTY keyboard. I have meaty fingers and typing on the iphone’s touchscreen is a chore for me. My wife loves it however, but I digress.

Its funny because as picky as we are about our cell phones, it was hard for me to find one single con. Then only con that I saw was that it didn’t capture video. Other than that, the reviews I saw for it has people raving mad. In a good way of course.

Will Blackberry crank out more phones like this to rival the soon to be release second generation iphone? That remains to be seen. However, the Curve appears to be king of Blackberry mountain.

Status On New Iphone Release

Here is the current status on new Iphone Release. Insiders widely believe that the new apple iphone will be unveiled at Apple’s developers conference on June 9. Then we should see if the second generation iphone has undergone any drastic changes to the design. Some of the rumors that I have seen floating around is that this version will now have a plastic back instead of the metal one. Also it is rumored that this incarnation will be lighter.

I am not sure when the Iphone SDK (software developer kit) will be released, or if it has been already, but with the capabilities to operate on the 3G network, look forward to some lightning fast internet applications. Also be on the look out for a slew of programs to allow users to have an unlocked iphone if they so choose. I will do some research to see if the Iphone SDK has been released already for the 3G. And I will report it if I find out for sure. If any of you no if it has been released please post it in the comments below.

Also while I am talking about the status on new iphone release, I am hearing buzz, that Apple Stores all over the country are reporting to be out of the current Apple Iphone. If you read my other article about the release of the new iphone, I said that they would be halting distribution to get the appetites ready for the 3G release.

Have their been any iphone complaints regarding this practice? Who knows, I went to an Apple Store here in Tampa where I live just to find out for myself, and yes they were sold out. Its a great plan to me. I am also preparing myself for the flood of first generation iphones to flood the market for my used cell phone business. I just want to mention right now that I also like the blackberry curve. What does the blackberry curve have to do with this article? Absolutely nothing. Sorry just experimenting with something involving the blackberry curve and this blog.

Anyway, back to the Apple Iphone release, it is still tentatively scheduled for the end of June. We shall see if it will ship on time. Though I haven’t heard any talk of any delays. I am curious to see if there will be people lining up to be the first ones to get this phone like last year. In the meantime if you desire to get one of these phones, I suggest that you stock up on your expandable memory for iphone. Those little memory sticks are getting cheaper and cheaper. And the iphone has so many functions, that it does replace a lot of devices. I have seen the iphone clone, cect p168. The iphone clone sucks, but not that bad actually.

Make sure if you found this post and you want to read about unlock iphone, just breeze through the archives. Anyway that is all I know about the current status of the new second generation iphone.

Apple Iphone into Recovery Mode

I have a quick tip today on how to put your Apple Iphone into recovery mode. I see this question rather frequently in various cell phone forums I hang out in so thought I would post a quickie tip right here. To put your Iphone into recovery mode is real simple.

1. First you make sure your Iphone is powered all the way off.

2. You hold down the home/ menu button and at the same time connect your iphone to your computer. Your Itunes will then say that it has found an Iphone in recovery mode and bam you’re done.

Now for those who don’t know why this information is helpful, there is a lot of software and downloads available for your Apple Iphone. Unfortunately, like all software, not all of it is good. And if you get caught with some bad Iphone software you will have to do a system restore. In the mean time your cell phone may have been crippled or disabled some kind of way and you will need to put it into recovery mode in order to do a factory restore.

So that is how you put your apple iphone into recover mode, I hope you found it useful.

By the way you can find some Apple Iphones for sale here, if you have not yet gotten this fantastic phone.
