  • Sexy and slim design; improved full QWERTY keyboard; 2-megapixel camera; Bluetooth; enhanced media player; new spell-checker for e-mail and memos; audio technology that automatically adjusts call volume in noisy environments.
  • No integrated Wi-Fi or 3G support; camera still doesnt have video-recording capabilities; call quality sounded a bit hollow.
  • Though it doesnt 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.
