Sprint BlackBerry Style 9670 Review

Submitted by Dave Won on

 

This is a nice little (Size of a credit card) Blackberry that catches your eye straight away, you almost stand back and go “is that a BlackBerry? And well yes it is. It's a move away from the traditional style of the BlackBerry smart phones in the sense that the phone is a clam, but still with the full QWERTY keyboard that people on the move and hard workers know is essential. I would say after looking more at the phone that its design was aimed at a feminine audience. The model that was demonstrated to us was slow and unresponsive at times, hopefully this was because it was a demo but we doubted that had anything to do with it.Sprint BlackBerry Style 9670

Once again like other Sprint phones the Sprint TV application was slow to loading, enough for anyone to loose their temper. The phone all round is nice looking though, it just suffers from some annoying lags in the software. I think if you were the first in your group of friends or family to get this phone you will have something to really show off cause it is simply a unique phone, really the phone is a sexy thing. I would love to know what BlackBerry was thinking when they designed this phone, cause most in the industry would agree that flip phones are going out of fashion. Anyhow this will make a good phone for a business woman in the city that wants a smallish stylish phone that has all the features of the traditional BlackBerry devices. Like all BlackBerry Devices it is strong physically and has great Security.
