BlackBerry Curve 9360
The BlackBerry Curve 9360 comes in with compact and clean design. With this phone, we know that RIM played its best card by staying within their comfort zone. You have to agree that it is what they do best. This is also one of the reasons why we love their handsets.
High expectations were shifted to BlackBerry’s Bold flagship. Because of this, the Curve 9360 was able to escape the spotlight and unnecessary scrutinizes. A lot of people are missing the point; this is an affordable BlackBerry handset that is capable of giving business users the quality that they deserve.
The phone comes in with high-resolution screen, powerful processor (for a Curve handset), and BB 7.0 OS. This is also one of the handsets that come in with NFC support. It comes with an upgraded camera too. It now boasts a whopping 5MP (2592 x 1944p) camera. This is quite an upgrade from the conventional 2 or 3MP cameras of older Curve models.
I will give you a sneak peak of what this phone is all about. The following are some of the Curve 9360 features:
- 2.46 16 Million color (TFT landscape display of HVGA+ resolution (480 by 360)
- Optical track pad

If you are a Curve user, then you will notice that the 9360 is an excellent upgrade. This is also considered as the best Curve to ever hit the world of smartphones.
RIM designed this phone to stay true to its rank and tradition. But at the same time, they pushed forward and made this something out of the ordinary. It stepped in new lines and it is not that hard for it to impress and gather new followers. With this handset you will feel at home. All the familiar aspects of a Blackberry Curve are still visible on this phone. But the best thing is, it comes fully packed under its hood.
The clean design and the ever familiar feel of a Curve are still present on this handset. It is friendly and compact and that is what matters the most. You will simply love this phone’s overall look and powerful performance that is new to the Curve series. This is the BlackBerry Curve 9360.

Blackberry Curve 9380
After years of producing devices that have been renowned for their excellent Qwerty keypads RIM have finally released a full touchscreen device as part of their Curve range of models. The Blackberry Curve 9380 is the perfect phone for people who want the excellent messaging features that are traditionally associated with these devices but with a larger screen perfect for web browsing.
Earlier in the year we saw some new models released in the Blackberry Bold range that saw a small capacitive touchscreen added above the traditional Qwerty keypad. With the new Curve 9360 Blackberry have gone a step further and totally eliminated the keypad and fitted a high quality 3.2 inch display capable of displaying a respectable resolution of 360 x 480 pixels. This screen shows a total of 188 pixels per inch which is much lower than many premium models but we must not forget that this is a budget smartphone and this rating is superior to many models offered at a comparable price. There are four capacitive keys located beneath the screen as well as the famous optical trackpad for times when you need some very precise navigation. In terms of design the model measures 109 x 60 x 11.2 mm which makes it a compact phone that certainly should not feel to obtrusive when placed in a pocket. At 98 grammes in weight the model is also one of the most lightweight phones that you are likely to encounter weighing nearly 40 grammes lighter than the iPhone 4S. Despite its incredibly light weight the phone manages to feel like a premium device and boasts the excellent build quality we have come to associate with Blackberry models. (more…)

This fall, Apple plans to release the fifth installment of the popular iPhone. Obviously, the next generation of smartphones running IOS will include improved basic functions, such as the speed of the faster processor, higher resolution camera and a memory capacity. Apple has a consumer experience with their dazzling new products, so in addition to improved basic functions, the iPhone will surely bring a five completely new and innovative features to the world of smartphones.
The largest of these features may be a voice control system is completely reorganized. Nothing has been confirmed on the specific nature of this feature potentially game changing because of the will of Apple and its ability to keep the iPhone 5 specifications under a bushel, but on the Internet bloggers have speculated that this function can only be one voice command Apple needs to regain market share that was lost in the Google Android OS.
Evidence has emerged indicating that reworking of Apple’s voice control system for the iPhone 5. 4 IOS permission to use voice commands to perform basic tasks related to call contacts or listen to music, but it seems IOS 5 strengthen further the capacity of its predecessor. In early 2010, Apple bought Siri, a complex operating system that interacts with the user voice in a way like a human being. A little over a year later, Apple has agreed to a partnership with Nuance speech recognition software called another.
Android is already using Nuance, using technology to transform the direct voice and text messages and e-mails accurately. If Apple uses both technologies to their full potential within 5 iPhone, which could be fully operational by phone only your voice. Obviously, a keyboard is still absolutely necessary for a smartphone, but the entry of Apple’s software can be said that in the future, speech recognition can be just as imperative.
Although skeptics point out that the Android platform has integrated vocal range phone software in their phones for years, no one can deny that Apple has the ability to recreate the functionality as possible and bring it into greater prominence. Bringing together two of the biggest names in the world of voice analysis software side, Apple is making it known that they take seriously the voice operation. Without doubt, the iPhone will be in 5 series of impressive features, but it is not unreasonable to suggest that when released this fall, the voice command will steal the show and prove to be the greatest day of the iPhone OS 5.
