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. from Shopping.com 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! from Shopping.com What's great about it:?It's a Blackberry! :) What's not so great:?Not so great internet "I loved my Blackberry for use just as a phone for talk and texting. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Excellent messaging options with great battery life What's not so great:?Poor documentation "I have had my Blackberry Curve (Red) from Sprint for three weeks now and I have been quite happy with the device so far with only one or two quibbles. Pros:Incredible battery lifeVery stable operating systemExcellent messaging capabilities3.5mm standard headphone jackEasily customized via third party theme packsVery light compared to the weight of other smartphonesCons:Keys could stand to be a bit largerFinger print magnetTrackball navigation takes a little getting used toLong startup times. from Bestbuy.com My mother who is 50 years old got this phone after using only a antique flip phone for several years and absolutly fell in love with it. She had tried a palm os smart phone prior and she couldn't figure it out, and honestly it just didn't compare. I am completely satisfied with my Blackberry and frankly I am scared to ever stray away from using their phones. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Email workhorse, clear sharp screen, nicely done keyboard What's not so great:?SMS is not true threaded texting "I've owned or used almost the full line of Palm, including the Treo 650, 700p, 750, 800w and the Centro. After having various issues with the 800w, I moved to the BlackBerry platform, specifically the 8330 Red Curve on Sprint. I was a bit apprehensive, as this was not just a cell phone change but a move to a different OS altogether. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Keyboard vs. Keypad What's not so great:?the phone in general "Originally had the Instinct and didn't like the touchscreen, was recommended to get the Curve instead. I was really excited to get one because I had heard such great things about Blackberry's in general and the Curve. from Bestbuy.com "This amazing little phone is a big force to be reckoned with. With it's powerful 2 Megapixel camera you can take videos and pictures to share with friends and family or possibly a client. The sleek design makes the Blackberry a discreet tool to use in booking appointments or anything else you may need it for. I don't need a laptop with a fully functional browser and tons of applications available at my fingertips. from Bestbuy.com When I got my Blackberry Curve 8330, I was very happy that it was a nice phone and arrived in the protective packaging it came in. I have had no problems with e-mail or applications or anything. from Amazon.com what's great about it:?easy to use, applications, e-mail what's not so great:?need to get some sort of a case and screen protector "there is so many good things about this phone. from Bestbuy.com
