Anyone who is in the market for a new Blackberry might be intimidated at first when looking through the selection of phones they have to offer. There are many phones in the Blackberry family. While each phone might not be better or as good as the last, the RIM Blackberry Curve 8300 is clearly geared towards people who would use the phone for business as opposed to casual phone users. With its lack of media streaming and video recording capabilities this is a great phone for anyone looking to use it solely for business with its amazing corporate applications.
As found on most Blackberry Curves this one features a full QWERTY keyboard. The design of this keypad has been upgraded from previous models. The 8300 offers keys that are spaced farther apart allowing for more comfortable typing. A useful feature found on the phone is an automatic spell check. The spell check function alerts you of any spelling errors in emails, messages, memos, etc. Anyone sending out important business information will find this feature very useful. The trackball found on the phone is also improved allowing for better web surfing and navigation.
Most large organizations have an account on the Blackberry Enterprise Server. Anyone using a Blackberry Curve 8300 will have access to large amounts of electronic corporate documents as well as receive corporate email. Not only that but anyone using their company’s enterprise server can also use Microsoft Office. With being able to use Microsoft office on their phones a person can open and edit Word documents, Excel sheets, and even Power Point presentations on the go.
Anyone thinking about purchasing the Blackberry Curve 8300 should remember that there is no support for any media streaming. This comes at a huge disappointment when one looks at the great service found in V Cast technology. The phone still works as a passable MP4 player. One can upload their music and video files into flash cards and play their files that way. With no 3G support the web browsing suffers. Certain websites take a while to load and in general browsing the web is rather slow.
The camera on the phone is sufficient. For any business person using the phone the camera might feel tacked on but it does offer a small variety of image capturing options as most camera phones do. The phone also lacks any video recording capabilities which again if you are using this phone in a corporate setting then the feature will not be missed.
If you are a business man or woman the Blackberry Curve 8300 is the ideal phone for you. It offers many functions which can be utilized in the corporate world and bring forth many advantages.
