As a reliable operating system to get up in the smartphone market, RIM seems so watching every detail of the new platform, BlackBerry 10. Not only the looks of the menu icons are changed or other new features, based on a test, the browser on the BlackBerry 10 it also has a pretty good performance. In fact, faster than the browser on iOS 6 and Windows Phone.

Source is on the site Gadget Masters who do compare browser speeds between smartphone BlackBerry Dev Alpha B which runs BB10 with the iPhone 5 and HTC 8X which is running Windows Phone 8.

Of the existing tests on the video below, it appears that the browser on WebKit-based BlackBerry 10 turned out to be much faster than the two competitors from two different platforms.

The unfortunate thing is, the source site does not complete the test by pitting browser on BlackBerry 10 with most favorite browser on the platform today, Android.

Here it is Keyboard BlackBerry 10 is more than just Virtual

No doubt, the smartphone BlackBerry 10 is one of the many anticipated, at least by the fans of phones made ​​by RIM. Officially BlackBerry 10 it will be revealed by RIM on January 30, 2013. Even so, the rumors even figure of the alleged BlackBerry 10 has been released by various sources, which is not an official source.

Well, if the past few days we have presented a video and pictures BlackBerry L-Series with pretty good quality. Still on this week a new video related to BlackBerry 10 re-uploaded on video sharing site, Youtube.

In contrast to the previously outstanding video, new video which the readers can see below, apparently uploaded by RIM themselves.

In the video duration 1 minute 47 seconds, it seems one of his senior RIM, Vivek Bhardwaj, explaining various matters related to the keyboard on the BlackBerry 10. Explained that visually virtual keyboard BlackBerry 10 is designed to look and feel like a typical physical keyboard on the BlackBerry.

In general, the virtual keyboard on the BlackBerry 10 will be more intelligent and personalized. Neat feature that allows will automatically bring up the spaces between the words as users type quickly.

The keyboard on the BlackBerry 10 also claimed to deduce where the spaces are supposed to be and "content awareness" on the keyboard is smart enough to switch between multiple languages ​​such as English and Spanish.

RIM Confident Prestige Will Again Raised by BlackBerry 10

The reason behind the delay in the launch of the BlackBerry 10 is depicted by the CEO of RIM Thorstein Heins recently. In addition to explaining the reasons why the launch of the device with the latest operating system was on his retreat, Thorstein also believes that after its launch, the BlackBerry will be stronger.

CEO of RIM as quoted via Pocket-lint, explain to the source on CIO.com that delays BlackBerry 10 is the right thing to do.

"We could just as scheduled, even if it means sacrificing the quality and stability of the platform. And we decided not to do it, because we must ensure that when providing the BlackBerry, it is the best quality," said Thorstein Heins.

Related criticism is directed at RIM which is considered to be 'left behind', which affects the decreasing sales of the BlackBerry, CEO of RIM argued that it also will not left behind to innovate.

"We are also not left behind in matters of innovation, to the level of understanding, especially in the U.S., that this trend has changed, and that our position and our value proposition in the U.S. market does not follow the trend has changed," he continued.

RIM also believe though it reduces the number of devices that rains out, but the quality of products along with BlackBerry OS 10, it is hoped will be able to restore the prestige of Canadian mobile phone vendor in the business of mobile devices.

Microsoft Back Glance at RIM?

Some time ago the software giant Microsoft is rumored to be approaching the manufacturer of BlackBerry, RIM (Research In Motion), who was then his track record is on the decline. When it's apocryphal, in which there is no official statement from both parties, both Micorosoft and RIM.

However, in view of current conditions was again pushed the issue. This is related to the condition getting worse in the RIM smartphone competition. And, it seems as though RIM opens 'opportunities' for others to 'go' to defend his company.

RIM's current position seems to be under pressure to consider some tough choices, in because their shares have fallen by 70% in the past year. Under these conditions, they only have the option to start selling the business network or forming alliances with other parties, in this case Microsoft Corp is rumored seems to indicate signaled to come back again.

The issue was registered more incentive to circulate. But the passing of information is quoted via Reuters (29/06), it seems that RIM and Microsoft declined to comment about it. There's just something that's a question that is related to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who insisted to remain close to RIM in recent months to reach a similar partnership like Nokia, which will use the latest operating system from Microsoft Windows on their latest generation of smartphones.

Well, if you look at this case according to the narrative sources quoted by Reuters, when RIM agreed to partner with Microsoft it means an end to the independence of the technology company based in Waterloo, Ontario Canada.

For now, the scenario from RIM still expects a result of the development on the BlackBerry operating system 10. Only, the presence of a new platform-based devices are known to be delayed until early 2013. Thus, there is still much for us to predict its future, particularly in the smartphone competition in global markets.

REVIEW: BlackBerry 9220 a.k.a. Davis, BlackBerry for Beginners

Continuing the series smartphone with BlackBerry OS 7, 9200 RIM launched or to be better known by the codename Davis. In the new BlackBerry lineup, Davis is a smartphone with a price tag of the cheapest. From that alone we can expect there will be some features of the BlackBerry OS 7 is reduced, or even eliminated. Then, if Davis is still worth to buying?

Design

Dimensions: 109 x 60 x 12.7 mm, 102 gram, full QWERTY keyboard, trackpad, a plastic material; 3.5 mm audio port and the lock button on the upper side; volume control, mute buttons and convenience keys on the right side; microUSB port and the fuel on the left side.

From the physical appearance it self, Gemini legacy can be felt directly in Davis. Her face looks so similar and differ only in the 4 main buttons accompanying the trackpad. Three multimedia control buttons on the upper side it was on the Gemini, is now changing a single lock button.

For those users BlackBerry Gemini who intend to upgrade the device to Davis, the first thing to know is how the "poke" to open the back cover has been turned into a slide.

Display

TFT, 65K colors, 320 x 240 pixels, 2:44 inches (~ 164 ppi)

Have the same dimensions like those of Apollo Davis did not make the screen capable of displaying images as well as the BlackBerry 9360 series. Because Davishas only real screen resolution Gemini level that automatically not as good as the Apollo screen shows the sharpness of detail, especially on the object when enlarged (zoom in).

You certainly do not expect Davis is a touch panel screen like most other new BlackBerry is not it? Because if so, you must be prepared to be disappointed.

Operating System

BlackBerry OS 7.1 Bundle 1137 (v7.1.0.337, Platform 9.50.0.28)

In contrast to his predecessors from her family BlackBerry OS 7. Users can immediately feel the latest version of OS BlackBerry OS 7.1 without having to do the update.

The advantages of this latest version include Mobile Hotspot, WiFi Calling, BlackBerry Tag, improved features in BlackBerry Maps, FM Radio and auto suggestion in the universal search feature. The bad news, the user must accept the consequences of reduced and even removal of the opportunity to feel some of these advantages for a cheaper price.

Automatically only the last 2 points that can be felt maximum by Davis user.

Camera Photo

2 MP, 1600x1200 pixels, Geotagging

Being in the lowest castes latest generation of BlackBerry make Davis into the final sequence, especially in several key features, one of the cameras. Davis has the ability to capture static images in the size of 2MP resolution only, not like others who have a 5MP.

Not only that number of features are also simplified. Choice of scene modes for example, if the others such as Apollo and the Bellagio have up to 11 choices, the only available option for Davis is Auto and Night.

Camera Results

With the limited resolution of 2MP and limited features, users can not expect a lot of the cameras Davisto produce quality images. Users will often find the noise in shots of Davis, especially during the lighting conditions are not supported. Plus, Davis has no flash for at least help when needed.

Video Recorder

Maximum resolution VGA (680 x 480), 2.6 x zoom

In line with the camera features photographs, some video recorder capabilities are also removed at Daviswhen compared to the previous version, including image stabilization.

Connectivity and Browser

GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP, microUSB 2.0, GPRS, EDGE; Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n

One of the benefits of BlackBerry OS 7.1 on BlackBerry Tag feature that uses NFC (near field communication). Unfortunately you will not find in Davis.

Users should also be satisfied by the data path 2G to surf through the service operator. But if possible, you can use WiFi to surf faster.

Battery

Li-Ion 1450 mAh (J-S1), Battery Saving Mode

Despite losing several factors of the brothers, but Davis did have its own advantages which can not be matched another new BlackBerry, even by the most expensive such as the Dakota though.

Davisprovided the greatest power battery, 1450mAh. Compare to Apollo's 1000mAh battery powered or battery-power-type JM-1 used 1230mAh Dakota, Jennings (Torch 2), the twins Monacoand Monza also Orlando.

With non-touch screen is also not wide and the specifications of the inferior, that much power can certainly give the breath a lot longer than other BlackBerry.

Barely there, Davis has a Battery Saving Mode feature that automatically adjusts the settings on Davis to maximize battery power remaining.

Hardware

512 MB ROM, 512 MB RAM

Compared to its predecessor which is a Gemini, Davis would have meant an increase in performance with a RAM memory support two-fold greater. Unfortunately for the storage media users must add a microSD external memory is not available in the sales package.

Social and Messaging

BBM version 6.1, push email, social feeds

As with other smartphones of the latest generation of BlackBerry, Davisis also equipped with the latest updates BlackBerry Messenger promising air-fuel experience more enjoyable. Especially with the increasing number of applications connected to the fuel available in App World.

Not only fuel, was also present social feeds, allowing users to monitor the Apollo latest updates from your friends in the BBM, Facebook, Twitter, GTalk and Yahoo Messenger through one application.

Media Player and FM Radio

Audio formats:. Mp4,. M4a, .3 pg, .3 GP2,. M4v,. Avi,. Asf,. Mp3,. Wmv,. Wma,. Flac,. Ogg,. Aac,. Amr,. Wav,. Mid ; video formats:. mp4,. m4a, .3 gp, .3 GP2,. m4v,. avi,. asf,. wmv,. wma; Image formats:. BMG. jpg,. gif,. png,. tif,. WBMP; FM Radio

To measure mid-end phone, Davis supports video and audio formats are quite diverse. And like other such new Curve 9360 (Apollo) and 9380 (Orlando), Davisalso has a FM radio feature as an alternative to the current playlist mainstay of entertainment began to seem boring.

Conclusion

BlackBerry seemed pretty confident with the two superior service BlackBerry Messenger and Push Email in real time, so it was only by relying on this alone could sell their products on the market. Davisone of the proofs, in the time of its competitors with the 3G support is in the range of the price tag of under one million, Davis instead restricted to the 2G network.

But it can not be denied that the fuel and an exclusive chat application capable BlackBerry-style push email that famous still some people an excuse to keep using a BlackBerry and turned away from other operating systems are on the rise. So predictable that this product is not likely to repeat the success of its predecessor, the BlackBerry Gemini.
