Storm2 BlackBerry has released, Research In Motion (RIM) re-released a new BlackBerry model named Onyx. Smartphone with BlackBerry Bold official name of this 9700 revised version virtually predecessor, Bold 9000, which is looked fat and still stiff.

BlackBerry Bold Onyx features

Actually the general features it has is not much different from the first generation Bold. The most difference is the design of smaller, thinner, and looks more elegant than the previous Bold. In addition, Onyx uses optical navigation trackpad no longer a trackball. Camera capability also increased and so did his memory.

"BlackBerry Bold 9700 is built base on the BlackBerry Bold predecessor successfulness but with new features and the best and smaller size, lighter, and a very fitting design that looks, feels, and works very well," said Mike Lazaridis, President and RIM CEO of RIM's official site.

Another difference is the increased battery life. If the first Bold could only survive up to 4 hours of talk time and 10 days standby, Onyx can up to 6 hours talk time and 15 days when used in standby mode in 3G network because it uses 1500 mAh batteries.

BlackBerry Bold Onyx Camera

Onyx also been using the latest operating systems and supports BlackBerry 5.0 Desktop Manager for PC and Mac. Other features carried Onyx include 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, WiFi, and 256 MB of internal memory that can be added with microSD memory card.

Connectivity

Among the ranks of the BlackBerry device, virtually Bold series most qualified to support the completeness of connectivity features. Onyx is designed to meet the needs of enterprise communications management support services for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Internet Service server standards. In terms of connectivity, Onyx also supports data access through HSDPA.

However, it seems Onyx will only be provided for the GSM network users because no available versions of CDMA. Pricing and availability has been only in the U.S.

Until now, information about the Blackberry is still minimal despite this smartphone has a very significant growth. Therefore it is not surprising that many Blackberry users who lay face many problems that often arise.

Moderator of BlackBerry Community, Faizal Adiputra give us tips and tricks series related to the operation of the Blackberry.

First, BlackBerry users have to determine exactly which device and service will be used. "Candidates for Blackberry users and devices to determine a suitable operator. Select the operator that the strongest signal near their homes," said Faizal.

Second, optimize the use of batteries. This can be done with the kinds of ways. Among other things, using the minimal sound in profile, always lock the device and use the time out to save battery, and routinely do up date devices.

Third, optimize memory. "At least once a day restart the battery. Open the battery and plug it in again. This is anticipated to be a memory not soon run out and erased it self," he said.

In addition, he continued, to save the memory can be done by deleting the language variety that is installed in the Blackberry. "It spent a memory, so delete it. Because there are language variety has been installed, like Korean, English, and so forth," he said.

Fourth, Blackberry users need to save money using the internet access when outside the country. Because, in the area will cause roaming charges swell pulses. Therefore, Blackberry users can use the WiFi access or free internet access.

According to him, send data and images from abroad are unlawful. Because, everything that is sent through Blackberry are not compressed at first. He added, users can also confirm to the operator that is used to find relevant information roaming partners. "Before going abroad, asked the operator, what a cheap roaming partners," he said.

Fifth, Faizal mention the need to back up your data intensive. "Back up your data on a computer can or online. If your Blackberry is lost, so there is still backing up data," he explained.

The following review is a personal review with no intention to discredit other products.

Blackberry from Research In Motion is not for everyone who needs the phone, but more can be utilized by individuals who are mobile, where the need for email and chat is a priority of needs.

Each unit has a Blackberry PIN number which the PIN will be used to register our handsets that RIM email server on the server can push, also in drag to / from the server at RIM and send it to our service which we subscribe to BIS. The operator then going to push email to the handset like SMS us as.

In addition, the PIN number is also used to communicate (chat) between the members of Blackberry users around the world without any additional charges as long as we have subscribed to the service BIS.

Screen

In terms of screen and the sharpness of the image, Blackberry Bold has a remarkable quality sharp and bright, may the best in class said, but in terms of camera she has a 2 mega pixels, a little bit less sharp if we compare with the quality of Apple's iPhone, Blackberry camera in below expectations, although I've equipped with a flash.

Keyboard

After using a Palm Treo 650 a few years, I feel something is missing if you do not have a handset with a QWERTY keyboard (Blackberry Bold has another type with the keyboard QWERZ), and the keyboard is very soft and comfortable on the press in comparison with the Palm Treo is a little harder.

Operating System

Operating System of these units, if I score, is still relatively young, and very often we will meet to update the update of this unit, and until this writing, there is Memory leak which after use for some time, then our memory will continue to decline and make our handsets to be slow (lag), it is a trick by pressing the right ALT + SHIFT + DEL or by depriving our battery or popular term BP (Battery Pull). But because this handset is equipped with 624 Mhz processor, the fastest for the smartphone class, then we do not need to be concerned about this.

Sound Quality

The sound quality is very good and clear, unlike other handset handset. If I compare it with the Palm Treo 650, then the value was 9: 4 to victory Bold.

Signal Quality

This is a handset with the best signal reception in its class. If we compare with other handsets (like the Treo 650 and Nokia E71 even the iPhone), Bold very strong signal and provide a clear voice with a weak signal though.

Hardware

Physical hardware quality, very solid. Only a shortage in some parts like the screen scratch easily and the barrier screen with a plastic keyboard that feels less solid. Other than that, Bold has a quality above my expectations.

3G Speed

3G speed on the Blackberry BIS service is not as fast as what we imagine, because with the BIS service and APN settings: blackberry.net (dataplan operator), then all data to the internet will go through BIS network which will pass through RIM's servers. RIM servers will pull the data we need from the other server, and compress it (if we had set for compression), and then sent to the operator and to our handset.

Another case if we use the APN: internet (outside dataplan operator), then we do not pass the handset RIM's servers and will be faster.

Test can be done at: http://reviews.cnet.com/internet-speed-test/ (enable javascript)

If you have a hotspot at the office or at home, test proved that with WI-FI network, faster connections.

Syncing

Syncing with the Mac does not sync with your PC as well, because the Desktop Manager is currently no version for Mac, that there is a Pocket Mac which I think still needs further improvement, much better Missing Sync for Blackberry, but this MissingSync for Blackberry can not be done with bluetooth.

Syncing can be done Over The Air with Google.

Syncing process either with a Mac or Over The Air with Google, has several problems. If we have an address book with multiple number to a mobile phone, then that will be recorded on the handset is the last mobile phone number. And Blackberry only 1 field for mobilephone number, and this is not good in my opinion, considering the target market of the Blackberry Bold is the professional who requires high mobile connectivity.

Blackberry Bold 9000 review Conclusion

Pro:

Completeness of features, GPS, 3G, EDGE, WiFi, Bluetooth, Camera Flash, Email (King of email & chat device), great screen, good battery life compared to other smartphones with the facilities on the same switch.

Cons:

No touch screen, memory leak, which must have cost dataplan quite expensive, 3G speed does not reflect the 3G for browsing / connectivity to servers located in Indonesia, especially IIX network.

This handset is the recommended for the highly mobile professional, and who need email, chat, news updates as a top priority

Here is a short review for BlackBerry Curve 8520 (Gemini).

Camera

BlackBerry Gemini can be relied upon to record the events that we value and look cool. Although only 3 m pix, Gemini can back up and record the events that our visualization great value in times when a sudden, the picture is enshrined and only waited about 1 minute, but it should depend to your operator network, the important moment can be recorded and uploaded directly to Facebook. Event and the moment so that we think are cool can we share to a friend or colleague.

Networking and Connectivity

Gemini with the latest BlackBerry design is only supported with GPRS and EDGE networks, but the upload and download speed GPRS Gemini is very different from the mobile smartphone also uses GPRS access. Whereas Gemini GPRS class 10 with speed of 32 - 48 kbps. Gemini wireless Internet access is much stronger, of course, because it supported EDGE class 10 with 236.8 kbps speed. This makes uploading pictures of objects that we can quickly capture shown on Facebook.
Gemini is the type Curve 8520 can operate in four GSM networks, ie 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900. That could be used in several other countries like Europe and Asia Pacific.

Social Networking Features

BlackBerry seems to have changed the order of cell phone use anywhere attitude. With the BlackBerry, have all become much easier and cheaper. This is also supported by the availability of content, a case of Facebook, Twitter, IM, Google Talk, BlackBerry Messenger and others.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 Review Conclusion

With the BlackBerry and support the content, so the user can always be on and online. And make communication much more efficient. We can calculate, from the cost of telecommunications using voice and SMS, the trend in telecommunications and Facebook Chat's, lowered costs and Voice SMS, although levels of satisfaction far different communication with speak directly. "My phone bill was paid about 300 thousand a month, even up to 500 thousand dollars, but with facebook chat and message, reducing the budget which I spend up to 70 percent," said Ronald's day-to-day work in IT companies. Now the device is always connected, so it's no wonder all become easier and cheaper. Not only reduce the budget communication, human to another human being are now always "on".
