Recently one of my friends got a blackberry 8900 and i got to play with it a few times and here are some of my thoughts on it…
- The first thing that impressed me was the solid build and the refined finish which when you hold makes you feel good
- I was surprised by its weight which felt lighter than my nokia 5530 and the back battery cover lid with patterns was cool
- The 2.4″ 480 x 360 screen was excellent and the user interface was nicely designed but still somewhat confusing when delving deeper into the sub menus and stuff
- The 3.5mm audio jack coupled with a nice media player and memory card slot makes it a fun phone for entertainment needs too
- The blackberry app store was a nice way to extend the phone with lots of free apps and easy to use features
- The qwerty keypad was easy to use even though i haven’t had lots of experience with those type of keypads
- The chat messages of messenger like gtalk getting integrated with the messages list and way of notifying and accessing them becomes a whole lot easier
- The browser didn’t support youtube or flash videos was a major downer
- There was no FM radio which would have been a nice addition
At 18,500 INR (395$) its a excellent business phone with a nicely complemented 3MP camera and multimedia qualities.
