Hi All

Only just joined forum, sorry if this is posted in wrong part. Had a look on forum and internet in general could not find an answer to this.

This would be my first Blackberry.

I noticed that the battery on the Curve is 1450mAh and the Bold is 1250mAh

Does anyone know if this in anyway would effect the quality of listening to music from the Blackberry via headphones?

I'm just talking about standard in-ear headphones.

I'm looking to get the Blackberry of the two that would have the better sound quality of the two in terms of listening to music with headphones (i.e. volume, level of bass etc).

I know it might seem a daft thing to base my decision on, but it will be a factor.

I'm kind of guessing the battery size will make no difference to the volume / power output with music in headphones but thought I'd ask?

Neither of them will be good for music unfortunately, but the 9790 will be a little better. BlackBerry devices are not good media devices.

As far as your very last question, you are correct. But battery capacity will, of course, impact how soon you need to recharge when you are doing whatever you are doing with the BlackBerry.

The BlackBerry isn't the first device you would choose if listening to music is among your top criteria for a smartphone. But you need to test drive a demo unit, if you can. It may not be the best, but it may be adequate for you. Make a list of your top 5 must haves in a smartphone and find the one that best meets your top 3 and at least provides adequate performance on the last two of the five.

Good luck.
