Mobile Phone Reviews

Released for Sprint and Verizon Wireless, the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 is backed by high-speed EV-DO broadband connectivity. Offered in a liquid silver-colored finish with chrome highlights, smooth edges and soft curves, the Curve 8330 is small and light, integrating rich multimedia capabilities such as email, phone, organizer, camera, video recorder, Internet access, supported mobile streaming and GPS capabilities. The BlackBerry Curve 8330 is supported by BlackBerry Internet Service that gives users access to up to 10 supported POP3 and IMAP personal and corporate email accounts.the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 is now available, and it brings the same great design of its GSM counterparts and even adds 3G to boot. Like the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 for AT&T, the Curve 8330 has integrated GPS so you can use it with Sprint Navigation or some other mobile mapping application to get driving directions and local search right on your smartphone. It also offers Bluetooth, a 2-megapixel camera with video recording, and BlackBerry’s tried-and-true messaging capabilities. The only downsides were the lack of Wi-Fi and the less-than-pristine call quality. That said, the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 is still worth it. Plus, Sprint’s version of the Curve offers support for the carrier’s multimedia services and more instant-messaging clients, making it a better value than the Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Curve. The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 for Sprint is available now for $179.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates and discounts.

Features
The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 offers Verizon customers a nice compromise between the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8130 and the RIM BlackBerry 8830 World Edition, providing a full QWERTY keyboard for easier messaging over the Pearl and a more affordable alternative for users who don’t need the world-roaming capabilities of the BlackBerry 8830.

Pros: Best looking BlackBerry yet, with a polished interface. Excellent battery life. Sharp navigation sensor.
Cons: Keyboard kind of small. Call quality could be better. Web browser renders messy pages. Camera horrendous.

RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 (Verizon Wireless) Reviews From cnet

The good: The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 for Verizon Wireless offers integrated Bluetooth and GPS. The smartphone also delivers good call quality and strong messaging capabilities with a full QWERTY keyboard.

The bad: Unlike Sprint, Verizon doesn’t offer support for its 3G streaming media services on the BlackBerry Curve 8330.

The bottom line: Though we wish the smartphone supported Verizon’s VCast multimedia services, the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 is still an excellent smartphone that delivers on call quality and of course, e-mail.
