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
Its not the most realised.

Abstract: The BlackBerry Curve has a lot going for it: a 2-megapixel camera, world roaming capabilities, expandable memory, Bluetooth, a decent music player, and of course, easy access to multiple e-mail accounts. This version also sports a nifty spell checker, ...
Great size/shape, 3.5mm jack, solid keyboard and trackball, good battery life
No 3G or WiFi, UI needs an overhaul, browser needs more work
I was a very big fan of RIMs original mainstream consumer device, the BlackBerry Pearl 8100. It offered good functionality in a nice form factor, and had a great trackball for navigation. For as much as I loved that device, though, I love the Curve ev...

I love my Pearl. That being said, I think this is BlackBerrys best device to date. The Curve is so nice to hold and use. It feels solid - there is no squeaking like the 8800 and the Pearl. The keys are very tactile and easy to use. BlackBerry Email j...

Overall I was greatly impressed by the Curve. While it lacks some features that young consumers have come to expect in smartphones, the Curve is arguably the best blend of the business-oriented BlackBerry and a multimedia player to date. The rugged co...

No popular IM clients. Ugly calendar. Disappointing music app, with abysmal transfer software. Slow EDGE networking.
Its no wonder that in the weeks leading up to the iPhones release, were seeing a new category of "consumer" or "multimedia" smartphone peek its head out of the earth to look for its shadow. The Curve aims to bring the BlackBerry line to a more ge...
