Blackberry 9670 Style review

Screen:
The Facts:
Size: 360 x 480
Colors: 65,536 (16-bit)

Pros: Very good size for a Clamshell, mostly due to the fact of having a full qwerty keyboard

Cons: Keys feel a little stiff when compared to similar Blackberry keyboards

Navigation:
Optical mouse / Touch-Pad

Operating System:
The Facts:
OS 6
1st CDMA Blackberry with OS 6
1st Non-Touchscreen Blackberry with OS 6
2nd Blackberry overall with OS 6

Network Technology:
The Facts: CDMA 800/ 1900

Pros: It’s Sprint, solid network

Cons: No GSM, not a world phone.

Data:
The Facts: 1xEV-DO rev.A

Pros: Fast Data

Cons: Not 4G? With the 4G network up and running an a lot of major cities, is it just a matter of time before we get a 4G Blackberry.

Camera:
5.0 MP

Pros: 5.0 MP is an improvement over the 3.2 MP on previous models

Cons: Camera is placed mid-device, camera should be moved to the top of the flip so fingers don’t cover the lens or flash.

Keyboard:
The Facts: Full Keyboard (QWERTY)

Pros: Keys seem a little bigger then previous devices

Cons:
1- While it’s not a major change, I liked the red numbers on the keyboard.
2- Keys feel a little stiff when compared to similar Blackberry keyboards

Suggestions for future versions of clamshell Blackberries: The wasted space between the screen and the keyboard could be used for quick launch keys for Blackberry Messenger, Internet, and or mail.
