BlackBerry Style 9670, a big flip phone with a full QWERTY keyboard hiding inside. This is a good smart phone, thanks to its BlackBerry 6 OS, above-average camera, updated web browser, and speedy performance. Although the display is on the small side, overall this is one of the better BlackBerrys we've tested.
When open, the Style measures 6.9 x 2.4 x .7 inches. When closed, it measures 3.8 x 2.4 x .7 inches. It weighs 4.6 ounces, which is heftier than most BlackBerrys, but it's reasonable considering the form factor. The Style's QWERTY keyboard is fairly responsive, with terraced keys for a better grip. Because the keys are so close together, it is bit difficult to type as quickly as typing on the Curve 3G, but can achieve fairly good accuracy with minimal practice.
The Style runs BlackBerry 6 software, which includes several enhancements versus the previous version of the OS. For instance, you get multiple home screens that you can easily customize, universal search for finding everything from e-mails to apps, and a new notification window that makes it easy to see messages and calendar entries at a glance.
While the BlackBerry Style has a slower processor than the Torch (528 MHz vs. 624 MHz processor), the Style actually deliveres snappier performance.
Like most BlackBerry devices, the BlackBerry Style delivers as a messaging and e-mail device. You can use up to 10 business and e-mail accounts with the phone and it supports BlackBerry Enterprise Server, which many businesses use.
The WebKit-based browser on the BlackBerry Style certainly looks better than what BlackBerry users are used to, complete with support for tabbed browsing.
The camera on the Style is generally satisfying. It appears to have the same 5-megapixel sensor that the BlackBerry Torch has. The sensor has LED flash, auto focus, and image stabilization.
Videos on the Style record at VGA 640 x 480 resolution, and the clips looked pretty smooth. Our only complaint is that the phone had trouble transitioning from light to darker areas and vice versa. On the plus side, there is a handy option to upload a video directly to YouTube.
Call quality on the Style was above average over Sprint's 3G network. Voices through the earpiece were full but a little computer-y sounding.The 1150 mAh battery is rated for 4.5 hours of talk time and 10.5 days of standby time, both of which are lower than usual for BlackBerry devices. Still, power management on the Style was good enough for us to last more than a day on a single charge.
If you like the clamshell design and you want a messaging phone that can do more, the Style is a solid choice, With its relatively snappy performance and a good camera.
