The ultra-bright 320 x 240 display includes RIM's light sensing technology, which automatically adjusts backlighting levels for indoor, outdoor, and dark environments.
The 'Curve' features a 2 megapixel camera with 5x digital zoom, built-in flash, self-portrait mirror, and full screen viewfinder. The camera can capture images in up to three picture quality and size resolutions that can be shared instantly by email, MMS, or BlackBerry Messenger, and transferred over Bluetooth or USB cable.
The new BlackBerry has a crisp and clear audio system, and music and videos are played through the handset's integrated speaker, or the 3.5 mm stereo jack. The Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP) is supported, and dedicated volume controls are conveniently located on the side of the handset.
The 'BlackBerry Curve' includes a powerful new desktop media manager called the Roxio Media Manager for BlackBerry, which was developed with Sonic. This media manager allows users easily search for media files on their computers, view and organize them, create MP3 music files from CDs, add audio tages, create playlists, and automatically copy or convert pictures, music, and videos for optimal playback on the 'Curve'. The media manager also includes Roxio Photosuite 9 LE, which is a comprehensive tool that makes it easier editing pictures and creating photo albums.
