The editors didn't like
AT&T network is iffy and slow
Call quality was good but not great
No 3G capability
No Wi-Fi capability
No GPS capability
Some calls didn’t connect
Doesn’t record video
No Wi-Fi or 3G. No support for DRM media. BlackBerry platform still doesnt have as many third party apps as other OSs.
BlackBerry continues to give 3G and Wi-Fi a wide berth and
While the multimedia presence is welcome

And call quality sounded a bit hollow.

No popular IM clients. Ugly calendar. Disappointing music app
With abysmal transfer software. Slow EDGE networking.

We were very pleased with the Curve as RIM managed to put together a great package together into one phone. While the camera isn’t perfect, RIM did its research to make sure it would not come out useless and the great flash is better than most phones o...

We like the Curve. It offers a lot of functionality for its price, and its e-mail capabilities are amazing. Its organization software isnt the most powerful weve come across, but more than adequate for most users. Its multimedia support doesnt stac...
