Design and Construction:


The BlackBerry Curve 8900 measures 109 x 60 x 13.5 mm and weighs 110 g. The device is very compact for something having a full QWERTY keypad and also feels very light in hand.






The front side of the phone has the call speaker at the top center with the status indicator LED at its right. Below the speaker is the 2.4" display, which is in landscape mode. Below the display is the navigation trackball, which is now the standard means of navigation on all BlackBerry phones (except the Storm, obviously). It is flanked by the menu key and the back key on its left and right, respectively.


 



 


On the extreme left and right are the call and end/power key, respectively. Below these keys is the phone's full QWERTY keypad, which is an indispensable part of every BlackBerry phone.


 





On the right side of the phone are the the 3.5mm headphone jack at the top, the volume rocker key, the camera shutter key (whose function can be changed from the settings), and the microUSB port for connecting the charger and data cable. On the right side of the phone is the shortcut key, which is by default assigned to voice dialing but can be assigned similarly to the camera key.

If I wanted to delete your comment it would have been done soon after you posted it and not two days later. The only reason all the comments were deleted is because the review was removed and put into another section. As for the mistakes I appreciated the feedback and as you can see the review has now been corrected.
