Big is Beautiful - Blackberry 8300 Curve
May 3rd, 2007 - posted in BlackBerry
I don’t know about you guys but I have never really been bit by the BlackBerry bug. Their phones have never REALLY appealed to me, unfortunately this means that I have never really tested one out so I cant really say anything bad about their phones. They must be doing something right because their phones have always been a hit with business professionals and now I am starting to see them trickle down to the mainstream audience in people looking for a nice qwerty keyboard and flashy features.
Well, the Pearl was one of BlackBerry’s first phones that I ever really liked and now as a follow up the company has released the Pearl’s bigger brother named the Curve. From the photos I have seen it looks like a sleeker version of their older models but still a little bigger than I would like to carry in my pocket.
Ok so obviously BlackBerry users are enticed by more than just a curvy silver finish so what does this bad-boy have under the hood? How about a 2mp Camera, music and video playback, 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD slot, Web Browser for surfing via EDGE, and Push-to-Talk capabilities. Of course you can still setup all of your email accounts, this is still a Blackberry at heart. Strangely enough though there is no 3G support so that may be a deal breaker for some buyers. Overall a pretty hefty phone. What do you guys think? Cool phone or not for you?

Hi there - if you mean no “3G support” as not having a video capability you are right. I got my cherry red cool Blackberry last Dec and later found out I couldn’t record any videos. I called tech support and even the tech girl was surprised. A phine with so many things can’t record - even my last RAZOR let me record videos. So, that was disapointment. But, I still love it!
