  • Nice design with a full QWERTY keypad ,Media player with expandable memory ,Long standby battery life ,Decent built in features ,
  • No 3G capability ,No Wi-Fi capability , No GPS capability ,
  • The BlackBerry Curve 8300 is a great smart phone with a lot of fantastic features. While it is missing the 3G and Wi-Fi that a lot of smart phones feature these days, they will not really be missed in many cases.

  • The BlackBerry Curve is a seductive alternative to other candy-bar phones with wide-aspect-ratio screens. If the providers price is right, the Curve could well become the hot smart phone of the moment.

  • Overall, this is a great phone. It has that one big omission, namely 3G, but it keeps the price down and battery performance up. If email is of prime concern, youll barely notice the difference. RIM has found ways of delivering email quickly using GSM...

  • The first BlackBerry to combine a full keyboard and camera, the 8300 Curve doesnt have the visceral desirability of the Pearl - or the slab-like bulk of the 8800 - but it does have QWERTY and trackball, spell checking and competent multimedia in a sma...
