Hey guys, welcome to TechTree.tv, this is Kamakshi and today I am going to review
the entry-level BlackBerry Curve 9220
This handset looks very similar to the Curve 8520
Although the handset has a glossy back, its small size makes it comfortable to hold
As expected from BlackBerry, the phone looks decent and has a very good build quality
Since most people will buy this phone only for the BBM service, it has a dedicated BBM button
The phone comes with 512 MB of RAM
The device's 2.4" screen has pixel dimensions of 320x240
Other specs include a 2 MP fixed focus camera, Wi-Fi, and a 1450 mAh battery
Here, the GPS chip is missing
However, looking at how useless the BlackBerry's Maps really are, I'm sure that not many users will mind the omission
The device features BlackBerry's new OS 7
Despite being affordable, the handset manages to provide a snappy UI
The OS features an app drawer that reveals apps and settings when slid upwards
There's also a notification bar that keeps track of missed calls and messages
Multitasking is duly covered, and you can switch between apps with a long press of the [Menu] button
The 9220 features BB's iconic keypad
It offers pleasant UI and decent multimedia performance
On the other hand, like every BB phone, this one also has a few annoyances such as its BIS dependability
Despite that, for around Rs 10,000 it's a great deal for anyone looking for a phone with a QWERTY messenger
We give it 4/5
