Blackberry curve 8250 Review

RIM launched a new radical handset Curve 8250 mainly targeting upon new entry level consumers who still haven’t experienced Blackberry Functionality. RIM has justified the absence of trackball with the atypical rubberized buttons and an optical track pad. Facing stiff competition from its rivals it seems to have made a good move by incorporating optical track pad.
Aesthetics:
With a superior material quality emphasized by curvy features it displays a sleeker look. The front fascia features a glossy snazzy finish while the rear panel is a smooth finish surface. Embedded with a Track pad that replaces the track ball for more reliability. Although the design is very much on the lines of prior predated Blackberry models. The model sizes up to 109 x 60 x 13.9 mm and weighs106 g.

Display:
Sports a 2.64 inch Thin Film Transistor display of 65K colors supporting 320 x 240 pixels and Quarter Video Graphics Array. A colorful and vivid display is a result of the aforementioned features. QWERTY keyboard is easier and reliable without being cramped.
Camera:
Sports a 2 Mega Pixel camera of 1600×1200 pixels and supporting Quarter Video Graphics Array with a primary lens essential for capturing video. Fun Factor is being added through application Photocall (enables the users to tag photos to the contacts).
Connectivity:
Supports second generation GSM and data transfer takes place through General Packet Radio Service, Enhanced GSM Evolution, High Speed Circuit Switched Data.WLAN, Bluetooth (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and USB.
Generic Traits:
Equipped with a Blackberry Operating system. Features an onboard storage memory of 256 MB and armed with Micro Secure Digital memory slot expandable up to 16 GB. Standard Lithium-ion Battery with a rated talk time of four hours.
TechnO Review:
Mostly targeted at mid-tier consumers Blackberry comes with a fine reception quality that enables a clearer and dynamic sound. Economical an ergonomically embodied features.

does the 8250 have a gps?
is it as good as a handheld gps. could u do a review on the gps of the blackberry’s/ maybe a comparison among other brands. which phone has the best gps
Very nice phone so far, small, tight little pakage… i had the pearl before an dthat truly sucked but this is a breath of fresh air… very happy … so far!
Very pleased with it – with one exception. Voice dialling software is crap. Why could RIM not have incporporated the ability to add voicetags to the Contacts? Ericsson do it, Nokia do it, but I’m struggling to get it to accept anything I say – and please I have a good speaking voice and never had any problems with other devices using voicetags? There is also an ongoing issue with the software mapping between both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. Not an Outlook error, full details have been passed to Blackberry Technical.
Well I had this phone for a month now and I love it
Although it dosn’t have GPS bulit in I just downloaded google maps.
Works the same 4 me. Is so easy to use and I like that it does not have a roller ball I like the track pad.

Is this the same as the Curve 8520?
I have 8250 curve and i cant send or receive a simple picture or music, my phone is discoverable and paired with every other phone but when i try to send or receive via bluetooth it says lack of obex file transfer crap. So can someone tell me what to do or does this model can transfer data with other phones(nokia, erricson, etc.)
i can’t receive any data on my curve 8520 via bluetooth.can someone help me please???
phone’s ok
TRACKPAD exceptionally difficult to use …. roller ball was alot more efficient. ALso, cannot delete mmultiple contacts or messages which i find quite annoying
to recieve music or a picture.
go onto your main media folder. then press the options button and click recieve using bluetooth. took me a while to work out to
Came to this phone after a long list of multimedia and touch phones. The last phone I had was the Nokia 5800 Express Music(Owned for 6 months), which has an exceptional capability to miss most of the calls, crash 4 times a day and the battery used to last a day at the max.
Migrating from the 5800 I can say that this a bit more complicated to use(have to search a lot for the options) but the basic features promised work beautifully. Still didnt try much of browsing or Google maps on this. The trackpad is far better and intutive to use than the old scroller which has a tendency to stop working after 2-3 years.
Can any1 confirm if thid fone can or cannot stream utube vids? I just bought it today n its nt streaming vids

Reply to Kailash: .jar and .jad files are meant for nokia phones a.k.a. symbian OS. Blackberry uses its own GUI OS. Take it easy….
