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
Its not the most realised.

Emails were doubled
Cheap looking UI from AT&T

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

Large, sharp screen; compact design; fast thumb-board
No Wi-Fi, 3G or GPS; text-only emails; cant edit documents
The Curve hasnt decided whether its 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 wher...
Abstract: The Curve is the third BlackBerry to use the new rollerball navigation, as seen on the Pearl and 8800 and the second to get its own name in addition to a number. Despite its moniker, though, its not actually that curvy. In fact the BlackBerry Rounded ...

Abstract: Yes, the Curve already! Never let it be said that were slow to get our hands on the latest goodies. Katie and Alex are seduced by the super-sleek new BlackBerry.
