Large colour screen

You'll love watching videos, playing games or browsing the web on the BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphone’s large 2.4-inch, 480x360-pixel display. Images, text, maps and web pages appear beautifully crisp so information is easy to read on the go.

Fast and easy typing

You can type messages quickly on the Curve 8900’s 35-key QWERTY keyboard. It’s backlit, so you can use it in low light. And to help you navigate, the Curve 8900 has a roll and click trackball that works just like a mouse.

Mobile internet

When you’re not using the Curve’s Wi-Fi connection you can access the internet, using Vodafone’s mobile network.

Email & Messaging

As you’d expect from BlackBerry, email is at its heart. Stay on top of all your email accounts including web-based email (such as Hotmail®, Gmail®, Yahoo!® Mail and AOL® Mail), Microsoft® Outlook® Web Access, Microsoft® Exchange, IBM® Lotus® Domino®, Novell® GroupWise®.
You can send, receive, forward and reply to messages, and view attachments in popular file formats (JPEG, Adobe® PDF, Microsoft® Word, Microsoft® Excel and Microsoft® PowerPoint files) on the go.
Plus, you can connect with your IM contacts using applications like Yahoo!® Messenger and Google Talk™.

Camera

A 3.2 megapixel camera featuring auto focus, image stabilisation and auto flash means you can take sharp, print-quality pictures every time. Or capture the action in motion using the built-in video camera.
