blackberry tour 9630

Design
Judging from the overall design for Blackberry 9630 Tour, more like a Javelin Tour than Bold. It’s just their size in the middle. It means he’s bigger than the Javelin, but smaller than the Bold. Likewise with the buttons provided. There is no difference between the Javelin with the Tour. Such as the screen lock button and stand by what is placed on the side of the phone. Sculptures and a qwerty keyboard equivalent. If you had trouble with Javelin qwerty keypad, then because of its size slightly larger Tour experience will offer a little better.

It also applies to a trackball. Type of input direction of the ball is most comfortable found in the BlackBerry Bold. While the Javelin and Tour where Trackball feels inside, so only a small portion that can be used and stung my thumb. However, as the duration of use, you will get used to. TFT screen technology that brought tour also has the same specifications with the Javelin. Seen from reaching the screen resolution 480×360 pixels. No default, if the BlackBerry Bold compared to the screen using a standard H-VGA (480×320 pixels)

The screen is quite impressive, because it is capable of displaying the image quality is more brilliant than the BlackBerry Bold. In general, these phones look more boxes, slightly thicker than Javelin with enough supporting material. Glossy and metallic on the front with rubber-coated plastic in the back.

OS and Interface
BlackBerry 9630 Tour brings a new BlackBerry operating system, which is version 4.7.1. Thus, the Tour is the BlackBerry device can not sail first touch with this OS. 9500 Storm previously released with the same OS. It’s just more devoted to a touch device.

When compared to previous products, such as Bold and Javelin, the OS has to offer roughly the same. Or at least not much different. The difference is visible to the eye was limited in the settings menu, a media player or photo viewer, the shortcut system and multitasking. Different if he had pinned on the sailing Storm touch. Many things that look like Storm, but must be accessed with a trackball.

However, about speed and stability of the system is pretty impressive product.

Network
This is an interesting factor Homeland mobile users, especially those who use the CDMA service as a communication mode. Although until now only 2 CDMA operators who intend to launch the BIS (a network of 800 MHz while the others in the 1900 MHz) and up to this writing there is no clarity about it, this remains a good sign.

Moreover, this phone supports two different networks, namely GSM and CDMA. so, while waiting for the BIS service from CDMA operators can be enjoyed, we can use the BIS service of GSM operators. Blackberry 9630 Tour has a SIM card slot and the number one planted with inject system. But unfortunately, they can not go together, but must be replaced manually type Switching aliases.

Tour of the BlackBerry device, the CDMA network seems to be the main network this phone. While GSM was merely supplementary. This can not be confirmed before any BlackBerry official Tour bundled by local operators. But did not reduce the features and performance expectations.

To be sure both networks have been equipped with high-speed data channels. Where there is HSDPA for GSM and EVDO Rev-A for the CDMA network. This is also the one who will distinguish Tour of Javelin. In addition to the two networks, Tour could deliver internet data faster than relying only Javelin GPRS and EDGE.

Connectivity

Nothing strange in the connectivity. tour has Bluetooth technology and micro USB data cable with a strong performance as bold and Javelin. Only Tour does not include WiFi technology, so on this side of the tour was less complete. However, after the BlackBerry Tour with two different networks and each is ready for broadband data transfer, seems to have more than enough even without the company of WiFi.

Multimedia

BlackBerry 9630 Tour features a digital camera better than Bold. That camera with 3.2 megapixel resolution lens, equivalent to the BlackBerry 8900 Javelin. Existing autofocus feature on this camera, there is also the flash to take pictures in low-light room. result was quite satisfactory. Although not exactly perfect, this camera can produce images with a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels with good coloring. The problem is, though it has auto focus, weakness of the lens makes the image objects outdoor light background will appear dark. It usually does not occur at good lensed camera.

In addition, the Tour took a number of multimedia features typical BlackBerry. Features like Audio Player, Video Player, Ringtones, Image / Picture Viewer, and present an audio recording remains the same as Bold and Javelin. Both of the interfaces and capabilities. This phone has an internal memory of 256 Mb. No great indeed, for that additional memory can be paired with a MicroSD card into it to enhance the ability of the device store.

Applications and the BlackBerry Service

Tour still a BlackBerry device that has a number of typical applications. Push ability Mall unprecedented already, we need not address here. BIS offered by local operators, we can force the email inbox from 10 different emails can be displayed on this device, real time. We talked about BlackBerry’s favorite applications. There BlackBerry Messenger which allows you to chat with other BlackBerry users, send files, both audio and visual speed, typical of the BlackBerry server.

Specific OS BlackBerry’s also possible these third parties to create and make a number of applications to support you in comfort on the move. There are office applications Document To Go (Trial Version) for your business activities, Facebook for BlackBerry, UberTwitter which you can download three of his own to launch a social networking action. And many more. Just need to be reminded again, that BlackBerry Service (BIS) can not be enjoyed for free. That means we have to pay a fee separate data access from the operator data communications access.

Batteries

This phone brings the same battery with the Javelin 1400mAH lithium ion. But surprisingly able to survive as good as the BlackBerry Bold which carry a larger battery capacity. The assumption that the CDMA network requires a larger power is also related to environmental conditions on the signal you’re using it. In all these cell phone battery charging can last for 2 days with the use of email, social networking (chat, facebook, twitter) and normal cell phone.
