Blackberry Curve is a family of RIM’s and has brought success to many companies. Therefore, RIM has had a worthy upgrade steps for the new version, codenamed Apollo Curve for GSM and CDMA Sendona for. New Curve stronger, better screen and also much thinner than the current Curve 9300. Sources said that Apollo will be released after the Dakota, in late August.
The first sensation on hand to see Apollo’s great, it’s only 11mm thin, ie more than 0.5 mm Dakota correct. Designed with a curved top and bottom voting machine election increases the feeling thinner. While RIM is still thin but very complete Apollo built, sturdy than the current Blackberry. Part of the reason is because the back cover of the machine used to press into the match, completely opposite from its traditional slide should not be stormed X?ch and left.
The function keys are changed on the Apollo design, similar to 9300 than the 97xx machines. Left side we have two up and down volume keys, camera key, and especially a small button located between the two volume keys act as a mute button cum stand by if kept long. All the keys are thin and of Apollo and designed into the machine, very nice. On top is a key lock button in the center but instead left as the current difference, a little hard pressed. Left side we have designed a microUSB port other than the beautiful and modern.
For those fans on the old 8900, the Apollo seems to be a worthwhile upgrade, although its level is no longer the same. Apollo also separate keyboard and not sticky like the 97xx machines.However, the keyboard feels a bit stiffer, will be quite hard to press if you are uncomfortable. In addition, four key listen, call, back and the option of Apollo, all stood and flat, not as soft as the existing plant. This is clearly not due to design or test that the key to that feeling.
Screen is the most significant change of Apollo when it uses a generic machine with high current Blackberry, achieving a resolution of 480×360 instead of 320×240 now. The display quality of this product is very good, no worse than the 9700 or 9780.Speed ??feedback on the Apollo is great, feels faster than the 9800 thanks to a Marvell Tavor CPU MG-1 with 800MHz clock. The chip architecture together with the 9800 chip clocks are present, but more advanced, well over 512MB RAM. Apollo is a 5MP camera and VGA camera, do not shoot HD video as Dakota. Brand new battery with the code name EM1, very thin and only 1000mAh capacity, not 1050mAh as the source earlier.
