Discover The Best New Verizon BlackBerrys

Read on to discover the secrets to the three Verizon BlackBerrys you should be looking at – the Bold 9650, Curve 3G 9330 and the Storm 2.

For me the Bold 9650 is my first pick out of the Verizon BlackBerrys. This phone has had a great response in the corporate sector, and yet is still very popular amongst the younger generations largely due to BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) and the well design QWERTY keyboard. The best aspects of this phone is the quick and secure communication benefits. This is due to the full QWERTY keyboard, which is arguably the best designed and most practical QWERTY keyboard around­.

In conjunction with your ability to respond to messages rapidly with the easy access keyboard, BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) has dominated the corporate market when it comes synchronizing your work emails, contacts, calendar, etc. BlackBerry’s RIM (Research In Motion) operating system is very effective at using their push message system so that emails are delivery immediately and securely linking you to your various email accounts. The text messaging and BBM is easy to use and works well, adding to the strong communication functions that stands BlackBerry apart from the rest.

The Curve is just a slightly watered down version of the Bold – very similar in many respects to the Bold, however, it has a slightly slower processor. Hence, is not as quick and might struggle under pressure resulting in the phone occasionally ‘freezing’. This is still a very solid and robust phone, which I highly recommend. My experience with the Curve has been very positive, however, for a premier look and feel you might want to pay the extra fifty Dollars for the Bold.

The slimmer and refined BlackBerry Storm 2 is in a different league to its predecessor, Storm 1 (which by all accounts was a failure largely due to the poorly designed screen). The biggest improvement is the touch screen, which apparently is completely new (3.3 inch/ 360 x 480 pixel click screen). This SurePress glass touch screen looks great on the phone supporting 65,000 colors, giving a crisp clarity to the screen. The green answer, red end call and the home buttons are now integrated into the touch screen giving a clean finish with less moving parts.

The phone allows multi-touch options such as copy and paste by holding two fingers on both ends, double tap on words to drag. You might have the odd issue with some of these functions, such as the drag option might leave copies of the word you are dragging lying around. In contrast to the iPhone and Android phone’s browser’s pinch to zoom, you double tap the screen on the Storm to zoom in.

If you’re not sure about touch screen phones, I would recommend the Bold or Curve. Though, if web browsing and media aspects are up your alley, then this is good choice.

With 94.1 million subscribers (Q4 2010), Verizon Wireless is a safe bet as an established and reputable cellular provider in the United States. If you are looking to travel internationally Verizon is a good option as the company is partly owned by Vodafone, a large British Operator, hence, international roaming is simple.

Verizon has one of the best selections of BlackBerry handsets out of the US providers and is a solid choice all around. Verizon contract plans are slightly on the pricey side at about $120 for unlimited everything. This is forty Dollars more than the similar T-Mobile unlimited calling/ texting and data plan (T-Mobile has the cheapest rates out of the big providers). As mentioned above, the Bold is probably the Verizon BlackBerry to take most seriously though the Curve is a good cheaper option. The Storm2 is a good touch screen phone with reasonable web browsing and multi media functions, however, if this is your focus you might be best to look at one of the Android phones such as the Thunderbolt (4G connectivity).

PS. Don’t forget that it’s always cheaper for you to get your BlackBerry online than going directly to your local Verizon store.
