Summary
- The BlackBerry 6230 features a more robust build with larger dimensions and weight compared to the lighter and more compact BLU Tattoo.
- The 6230 has a 2.6-inch monochrome display, while the Tattoo offers a smaller 2.0-inch TFT display with 65K colors, providing a slightly better visual experience.
- Both devices have similar performance specifications with 16MB of RAM, but the BlackBerry runs on BlackBerry OS, whereas the Tattoo's OS is unspecified.
- Neither phone has a functional camera, but the Tattoo's CIF rear camera is a minimal improvement over the 6230's lack of a camera.
- The BLU Tattoo is equipped with a 750mAh battery, which is a notable advantage over the unspecified capacity of the BlackBerry's battery.
- Connectivity options are limited in both devices, with the Tattoo offering Bluetooth 1.2, while the BlackBerry lacks any wireless connectivity.
