The handset comes with the signature QWERTY keypad and let me tell you; all the keys are easily accessible as the keypad fits perfectly into the body. The backlit keys make it easier to write even when it’s dark outside. The display being a qVGA one provides bright experience.
Connectivity:
All the Blackberry models are known for few things all over the world and one of them is BBM (Blackberry Messenger). This model proves no exception to this fact and has all the exciting elements stuffed in it. Blackberry Curve 9220 has all the latest connectivity options like GPS, Wi-Fi, MicroUSB and Bluetooth but however surprisingly lacks in 3G.

Conclusion:
The Blackberry Curve 9220 is available for INR.10, 990 and can be purchased at any Blackberry store or any major retail outlet. The device is available in four different colors, viz. Black, Pure White, Fuschia Pink and Teal Blue.
