RIM BlackBerry® Curve™ 8330 Cell Phone

Pros: Easy to use with great security.

Cons: Some large photos and videos will not play through the Internet.

The Bottom Line:

The Curve 8330 is a phone with a mobile office in one. Receive and send emails, get notifications of appointments and more!

Review: The Blackberry 8330 Curve is not just a cellular phone, but it is my office away from the office. I have my company email and my home email both on the curve. It also checks my calendar and lets me know when an appointment is coming up. It keeps...

Pros: Easy and reliable push email (BES), trackball interface, excellent keyboard and screen, responsive OS

Cons: Majority of apps relies heavily on the pop-up menu, adding extra steps

The Bottom Line: There is a reason why Blackberries are the defacto standard in Enterprise enviroments, and why Windows Mobile is still struggling for this market.

Review: While RIM is marketing their first touchscreen Blackberry as the first Blackberry for fun as well as work, all reviews seem to point out that it's not that great for either. The touchscreen just felt tacked-on.

So what does this say about...

Pros: Great organizational tool, efficient mobile office option, excellent battery life, tons of features

Cons: Interferes with some electronics (very minor con)

The Bottom Line:

The BlackBerry Curve is an excellent phone for anyone looking for an all-in-one way to stay connected on the go.

Review: Many have heard the nickname Crackberry. I was surprised I didn t hop on this addiction train immediately. All of the risk factors were there. I have multiple email addresses that I feel the need to check compulsively. I have a daily commute that...

Pros: Email+phone+text+SMS+MMS all-in-one, keeps one connected, good battery life

Cons: Camera quality, calculator is not as user-friendly

The Bottom Line: I love my Blackberry Curve 8330! It keeps me connected to my email, allows me to surf the web, and is easy to use.

Review: My husband and I both needed new phones because our aging Motorola Razrs could only handle a 2-3 minute conversation before dying. After much thought and debate, we purchased Blackberry Curves since Verizon was having their Buy One, Get One Free...

Pros: Ambient light sensor
Great bluetooth support
QWERTY Keyboard
No touchscreen

Cons: GPS is weak
Requires data plan

The Bottom Line: If your an Alltel customer this phone is as good as it gets for now.

Review: First off let me state that I am an Alltel customer and that this is my third smart phone. My other two smart phones were made by HTC PPC-8700 and PPC-6800 "Mogul Titan"and ran windows mobile. Compared to those phones this device is simply out of...

Pros: Gorgeous screen, easy to use, very versatile

Cons: Pouch is no substitute for flip, camera merely ok.

The Bottom Line: The Curve is the versatile and high-quality phone that I had been waiting years for.

Review: After finally getting through my two years with the KRZR (see other review), I decided that I wanted a QWERTY keyboard for messaging, and a camera with more than 2 megapixels. I prefer a flip phone, but I didn't like the ones that were available for...

Pros: - Excellent email service.
- Superb outlook integration.
- Many accessories are available.

Cons: - Browser stinks.
- HTML emails don't display.
- Multiple email inboxes are dumped together.

The Bottom Line: The Curve is a good phone, a good business tool and a marginal audio-video tool. It should improve with new OS releases that address HTML email, audio and video shortcomings.

Review: I've used the Sprint 8330 Curve for about 6 months now, having moved from a Palm Treo which used the Palm OS. I would not have changed except that the Palm mysteriously refused to sync with my desktop one day, and after a month and 20 hours of time...

Pros: Very nice design, full QWERTY keyboard, very nice display and call quality.

Cons: Browser can be a bit sluggish.

The Bottom Line: If you can get it for $100 or less, you can't go wrong!

Review: Well, I have had my Blackberry Curve 8330 for approximately two weeks and, thus far, it has met or exceeded my expectations. I chose the Curve based on various reviews I have read on many sites. On most sites, it recieves at least 4 out of 5 stars...

Pros: Small size, full keyboard, screen resolution and brightness

Cons: Slow processor, phone portion is so-so, software glitches that necessitate reboots

The Bottom Line: Blackberry remains the only game in town for solid email connectivity.

Review: This CDMA phone is relatively new to Verizon, though has been out for more than a year in GSM form, and I ve owned it since May 2008. Rather than lay out all of the features that can be found on Blackberry s website, I ll itemize the good, the bad...

Pros: Email and internet are a great benefit; Stylish look; Compact Model

Cons: Buttons are pretty small; Camcorder needs separate memory card

The Bottom Line: The BlackBerry Curve is good for on-the-road business use. Plenty of features without being overwhelming! Great for Professional needs and Stylish for Personal use!

Review: I finally gave in to the hype over owning a smartphone and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I've been hesitant over the past year or so with reading many reviews about the apparant flaws a blackberry may have, however my personal experience...
