Nextel’s Blackberry Curve the 8350i Smartphone

Nextel Blackberry Curve 8350i

Any veteran Blackberry user rarely upgrades. It is not because Blackberries are terrible smartphones; it’s simply because any new Blackberry has only been a simple upgrade over its previous models. It is not unheard of that a Blackberry user upgrades only after the release of a new model two generations up from his or her current unit.

Blame it on RIM for being so slow on the upgrade cycle. The brilliant specifications and innovative navigations changed RIM’s most radical update to the Blackberry line of smartphones. But even though the 8100 was one of the best RIM has ever produced, a lot of loyal Blackberry users were turned off by its unorthodox SureType input method. Enter the Nextel’s Blackberry Curve 8350i, a smartphone that has the entire feature every user need with larger screen and the traditional Blackberry QWERTY thumb aboard.
