The Blackberry Curve is one of the most popular smartphones. Of course, its main purpose is to make and receive phone calls. However, it is not limited to that application.
It allows you to access the internet, receive and send email, sends text messages and has a host of other features. There are games, calendar, address book, camera and is, in essence, a way to stay connected, at all times. While other smartphones may have more applications, the Blackberry is the smartphone of choice for business users. The average price is $150.00, but although it’s not one of the cheap smartphones, there are many special promotions where you can buy one and get one free with activation.
There are many versions of the Blackberry, but the Curve continues to be the leader. The Blackberry is reliable and the technology has proven to have few blackouts and missed calls. It is compact and easy to carry. It has great notification features, so that you always know when you have missed a call or have a text message waiting. You can select from a wide variety of ring tones and select identifying ring tones to identify specific callers. The battery life is terrific and the best way to keep it charged is to use the car charger. However, you can also charge it at home.
The screen is easy to see and the volume adjustments make hearing acceptable even in a nosy environment. The ability to always be able to check breaking news, stay in touch, be accessible to others make it essential to one’s daily life. You can get a variety of covers for it. Some offer more protection from breakage and others just add to the appearance.
One of the best things about the Blackberry is you can send emails and texts while in a meeting or in a situation where you cannot use a phone. It is very small and discreet. Smartphones are almost essential for emergencies. You can even sign up for GPS Service and have access to business, entertainment and other venues that you might want to access when you are out.

It’s been a year since I’ve started using the Sony Ericsson (SE) M600i. I like this phone because really helps me with more than just making and receiving phone calls, but also browsing the internet, checking email, going on Facebook, chatting, and more. This is one of the most high-speed Three G phones, with a good price.
SE M600i comes with 60MB of internal memory and includes a 64MB Memory Stick Micro (M2) card with the phone. But I suggest to getting a 1GB card for bigger space if you want to save multimedia files on it.
Running Symbian OS 9.1 and UIQ 3.0, SE M600i boasts UMTS support and the usual business applications, such as QuickOffice to write, edit, and read Microsoft Word and Excel documents, and a PDF viewer. With this features, for me, SE M600i mixed my business with pleasure meanwhile I use it for listening music, video streaming, and games. And by using SE PC Suite application help me sync my e-mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks from SE M600i to computer. SE M600i organized my business in my hand easily.
And not just for phone call and business applications, sometimes I use SE M600i as modem by wired or wireless connection. Through Bluetooth I connected SE M600i to my computer and sharing files to other cell phone.
Its slim design looks elegant with comfortable qwerty keyboard and large touch-screen display. I think SE M600i is one of best pocketable smartphones. Using 3-way scroll wheel we can move up, down and select easily, going back by pressing back button on left side, using its @ button to open browser (but this can be changed to other actions in the settings), and the good one is we can use pen stylus to write faster than using its dual function keyboard.
Despite all its many features, the lack of Wi-Fi support and a camera sorely disappointing and sometimes it crashed once in a while, most while browsing.
