An Overview of BlackBerry Curve 9380 'Touch'

The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is Research in Motion's (RIM) 'pioneering' smartphone - its touchscreen. An overview of the mobile device will give you an idea about what the androids and whimsical users' needs have created. I mean the Blackberry Curve 9380 is touchscreen. Who would have thought that the stiff upper-lipped BlackBerry would open it doors to cool. I'm still a huge fan of Sony Ericsson but the first touchscreen from BlackBerry has got me drolling all over.

The whole deal about the Curve 9380 is not so much for the tech and specs (and the touch 9380 comes with tons of them!) but the idea of having a Blackberry that's actually full touchscreen! Man. That's sweet. But start using this awesome piece of mobile device and you forget the touchscreen bit - you actually start enjoying it. The reasons are simple: touchscreen mobile phones are mega big time cool, they are in and cool again. Hmm okay, that explains it. So what makes the Blackberry 9380 so special?

Overview of  the Overview of BlackBerry Curve 9380

The device is the first-ever all-touch display device from Blackberry and comes packed in social apps - its practically a 'networking' device if you ask me: Aside from easy Facebook and the Twitter adds, the 9380 comes with new social feeds and BBM-connected apps. "Chat with friends within an app or invite them to download the app so they can join in on the fun too," BlackBerry says.

The smartphone is easy to use with its sensitive and responsive touch capabilities, intuitive virtual keypad and optical track pad, the navigation on the BlackBerry Curve 9380 is simple and extremely user-friendly.

The 9380 comes with a 5 Megapixel. It may not sound that big by current market terms but its big enough when it happens to come with flash. Now you can smile. With the device you can also capture play-by-play scenes with the built-in video camera. The mobile phone comes with an easy upload capability, you can upload the images or videos directly to Facebook for instance. By the way, the Blackberry Curve 9380 comes with pre-installed Facebook and Twitter. Oh, is that supposed to be news?

The only UC Browser version that works on Samsung Wave 525 (Bada OS)

It's been about 4 years since the Samsung Wave 525 was launched. When it came out in 2010, it was one of the best mid-segment "smartphones" that hit the market. How many momentous, technologically-superior smartphones have come and gone since the Bada OS Wave?  The 525 must now feel like a dinosaur - and it is. In terms of its web browser, the most troublesome dinosaur ever. Prior to using the Samsung Wave, I'd used several other phones and none gave me any problem when using the internet as did the 525.  Browsing experience had never been so much a problem unlike the one the 525 gave me since i bought it three years ago. The various versions of UC Browser , a nifty little mobile browser that was touted to be the "fastest browser" for mobile phones that time, was the choice of wave 525 users. The only problem? In a world where every app and gadget was either android or windows, none worked for Bada OS (Samsung's own operating system). The Sams...

Overview of Sony Ericsson W995: The Little Walkman

The Sony Ericsson w995 Walkman is a relic from the glorious collaboration of Sony Corp and Ericsson. Yet, the  'Walkman' slider phone, released in 2009, remains one of the most popular mobile phones in the market today. An overview of the phone will give us amble reasons why even mobile phone reviewers still cannot beat the little device down, even in this age of the Xperias and the iPhones. Here is an overview of the  main features and specifications of this hardy little Sony Ericsson flagship phone. Overview: The Sony Ericsson w995 is a "Walkman" Slider phone. When it was released in 2009, the device offered probably three of then-biggest features to mobile phone users - a then-unheard of 8.1 Megapixel camera, 8GB Memory Card and 3G - one of the first pre-3G era phones that came with a 3G network band. My guess on the reasons for the phone's popularity is users' relentless hunger for big MP cameras. Only high-ends such as the Xperias, the Nokia Lumias and...
