Pros: Easy to use with great security.
Cons: Some large photos and videos will not play through the Internet.

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 track of ...

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

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)

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 ...

Pros: Very nice design, full QWERTY keyboard, very nice display and call quality.
Cons: Browser can be a bit sluggish.

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 and is ...

Pros: Email+phone+text+SMS+MMS all-in-one, keeps one connected, good battery life
Cons: Camera quality, calculator is not as user-friendly

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: Gorgeous screen, easy to use, very versatile
Cons: Pouch is no substitute for flip, camera merely ok.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Pros: Small size, full keyboard, screen resolution and brightness
Cons: Slow processor, phone portion is so-so, software glitches that necessitate reboots

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 ...

Pros: Ambient light sensor
Great bluetooth support
QWERTY Keyboard
No touchscreen
Cons: GPS is weak
Requires data plan

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 ...

Pros: Email and internet are a great benefit; Stylish look; Compact Model
Cons: Buttons are pretty small; Camcorder needs separate memory card

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 thus ...

Pros: Bright and clear display
Breadth of features
Cons: Stereo headphones ear buds don't fit
Suspect battery life

Got myself and my son matching Blackberry 8330 Curves with my Sprint BOGO plan.  Mine is operating satisfactorily, but my son (after 4 days) still doesn't have Internet access active.  That might be a Sprint issue rather than the ...

Pros: When it works, it works really good
Cons: When it doesn't, it doesn't!
Needs to be rebooted too often!

I've had a Blackberry Curve 8330 for 2 years and I am already on replacement #4. The phone's unreliable. I've suggested this phone to around 10 people and each one of them bought one. 3 have not had issues while the rest have had to replace their phone at least once. Some are on their 3rd/4th refurbished replacement!

I am truely disappointed in this phone.

Pros: Nice device specializing in business, easy to access applications such as Myspace and Facebook 
Cons: Large photos or videos won't load properly, javascript doesn't work properly sometimes, 

The Blackberry curve is a great phone for those with business in mind. With great security, easy to use applications, and a web browser, the Blackberry Curve brings the business with you. Its also great for entertainment. This phone supports features like music, videos, photos, and video games. Its simple to download new content and the web browser automatically loads the Blackberry website so that you may download free content, as well as premium content. They charge the premium content to your cell phone bill, which makes it very convenient to those who don't have a credit card or for those who do not have an interest in entering their credit card information online. Depending on what phone company  you are with, it ranges from great to poor internet service. With Ntelos, the internet service is very poor, but with other companies known to have great service, the internet browser may become your best friend.
