Comments:
The BlackBerry Curve, or BlackBerry 8300, represents a new target demographic for the company: the budget user. Priced at $199 post-rebate with a two-year contract, the Curve is much cheaper than most other BlackBerries; the more sophisticated 8800 is cur

Review Verdict: We like the Curve. It offers a lot of functionality for its price, and its e-mail capabilities are amazing. Its organization software isn't the most powerful we've come across, but more than adequate for most users. Its multimedia support doesn't stack up

Product Rating: 4 star(s) BlackBerry Curve 8300

Comments:
Though it doesn't bring Wi-Fi or 3G support, the BlackBerry Curve offers a best-of-breed design and a well-rounded set of features to make it an attractive device for consumers and mobile professionals alike.

Review Verdict: from the front, but it's much thinner and more manageable in terms of size. In fact, it's the smallest and lightest full QWERTY BlackBerry to date at just 107 x 60 x 15.5mm and 111.4g. By comparison, the BlackBerry 8800 measures 114 x 66 x 14mm and 134g,

RIM is again trying to appeal to the consumer crowd with its BlackBerry Curve 8300 -- like the Pearl it features a funky design and some handy multimedia features, alongside push email and PDA functions, to keep you firmly in touch while on the move

Review Verdict: The Curve hasn't decided whether it's a business device that can let its hair down, or a consumer phone that can get away with wearing a suit. It has a stunning screen and a top keyboard for emailing, but power users will find it slow and limited where it

A desirable form factor that doesn't compromise on usability.

Review Verdict: At 111g the Curve is just over 20g lighter than the 8800, and its dimensions make it easier to pop into a pocket. But despite having had a slight trim, the 320 x 240 screen is virtually the same size at 2.4in. Business users will appreciate the QWERTY key

BlackBerry has the consumer market in its sight with the Curve 8300. Does it hit the target?

RIM BlackBerry Curve smartphone

Comments:
RIM's (Research In Motion's) BlackBerry Curve, also known as the BlackBerry 8300, is a full-keyboard smartphone that's both delightful and perplexing.

Product Rating: 1 star(s) BlackBerry Curve 8300 - BlackBerry Phone Reviews by Mobile Tech Review

Comments:
Remember when BlackBerry was a hunky piece of nerdy plastic with no multimedia features? In less than a year, those days have been whisked away so completely by the BlackBerry Pearl, BlackBerry 8800 and BlackBerry 8830 that owning a BlackBerry is now hip.

Review Verdict: We like recent BlackBerry smartphones, and the Curve is no exception. It does all the things you'd expect from a BlackBerry but it's smaller, cooler looking and boasts decent, though not earth-shattering multimedia capabilities. The Curve is responsive, e

QuickTake:

Pros: Stable, fast and easy to use. Great curvy ergonomics. Good call quality, very good music playback quality and A2DP support (something the more multimedia-oriented iPhone lacks). Battery life, as is generally true of RIM devices, is quite good.
Cons: Not a con, per se, but an important consideration if you're thinking of the Curve vs. the 8800 line: the Curve lacks a GPS. Still no 3G on a BlackBerry. You have to turn off the phone to insert or remove a memory card.

RIM started its quest for the non-business market with the Pearl 8100, which was a great success. Its latest offering, the Curve 8300, applies the same touches that made the Pearl so good to RIM's line of QWERTY keyboard equipped devices.

The Curve brilliantly continues the BlackBerry tradition in a more compact form, but falls short in the multimedia stakes.
