Wifi for blackberry curve 8330

BlackBerry Bold, anyone? The navigation features features and options are very similar. The routes, maps, directions and voice guidance are also very similar and very accurate on both Curves. But the map rendering and speed are inferior to the excellent 3D maps on TeleNav and routing and rerouting are slower using the BlackBerry Maps.

Performance and Multimedia. The nice thing about getting the Qualcomm chipset is you get the built-in GPS but the slower speed gets in the way of good performance when running CPU intensive applications. Video playback suffers using the slower CPU, so make sure to use mobile level encoding when ripping videos for the Curve. Large web sites take longer to download. Not all is bad news for the Curve the internal flash memory is now at 96MB, a bump from the 64MB on previous Curve.

Sure, you get a media player for music and video playback and on the Sprint Curve you even get Sprint TV! The audio quality is excellent through the built-in speaker and the included stereo headset, and the volume is loud. Audio playback through the Samsung SBH Bluetooth stereo headset sounded excellent with very good channel separation. The media player has basic playback controls, shuffle and playlist support.

But it had trouble playing WMV files. Perhaps our review unit has some early software or Sprint TV needs one or two updates. The software crashed a few times and had a few hiccups playing the wide variety of on-demand video channels offered by Sprint TV. Many videos play in full screen QVGA mode, which is very nice, but most had ghosting, audio was out of sync with video and frames dropped and stuttered. As with all Curve smartphones, the BlackBerry Curve has a 2 megapixel camera with digital zoom, and LED flash and a self portrait mirror.

The quality of photos the Curve takes has also advanced. The Curve takes sharp photos by 2 mp camera phone standards both indoors and outdoors with a good amount of detail and very good color balance. Indoor shots have some noise but not bad at all, and in very poor lighting conditions the camera will turn on the flash. The camera phone can shoot photos in three resolutions: x , x and x with three quality settings and the camera software also has white balance and color effects settings.

You can use photos as screen image and caller ID or send them to email and Messenger contacts. Now you should see Error on your phone screen, which is OK and you can go now to the next step. Find and start Loader. Now choose your language and application, when all is selected press next button, then press finish button to start installing new firmware on the phone.

Just wait for a process to ends and phone now turn on with Blackberry logo. First phone start will take about minutes so be patient. On the end, you will see the welcome screen with language selection. That's all. Below the display, you'll find the standard Talk and End keys, trackball navigator, and a Main Menu and back button.

We didn't have a preference to either style as both are easy to press. On the left side, you get a 3. The camera lens, flash, and self-portrait mirror are located on the back. Finally, there is a microSD expansion slot, but it's located behind the battery, so it's a bit of pain to access. For more add-ons, please check our cell phones accessories, ringtones, and help page. The carrier's location-based service offers turn-by-turn text- and voice-guided directions complete with text-to-speech functionality, local search, traffic updates, and other navigation tools.

With it, you'll get data speeds of around Kbps to Kbps, with the potential to hit up to 2. This should make surfing the Net on your mobile much faster, and it'll also be smoother since the Curve includes an improved Web browser with a mouse-like onscreen cursor.

Another area where you can take advantage of the 3G speeds is multimedia. Meanwhile, the Sprint Music Store offers simultaneous track downloads both to your PC and wirelessly to your phone.

Also, be aware that you'll need to store them to a microSD card; otherwise you won't be able to download the tracks. Of course, you can import your own music and video library. There's a search function, playlist creation, shuffle and repeat, and you get a full-screen mode for video playback. There's 64MB of flash memory onboard, but as always, we recommend loading multimedia files via a microSD card.

The Curve's expansion slot can accept up to 8GB cards. The BlackBerry Curve comes with a 2-megapixel lens with video-recording capabilities. For still images, there's a 5x zoom and flash, as well as three picture sizes and three quality options. You also get white-balance settings and several color effects you can add to the photo. Video options are limited with just two video formats normal or multimedia message , three color effects, and a video light.

Picture quality was less than stellar.
