"The 8800, which we recently reviewed, was a mostly aesthetic update to the lineup, but the new Curve 8300 is the real thing...RIM's BlackBerry Curve 8300 is a full QWERTY keyboard equipped device that is significantly more compact than the firm's 8800 series of devices...The Curve 8300's compact design seems to mesh with its QVGA display far better than do the larger 8800 series devices, which use the same display...The 8300's AutoText function will automatically change words like "dont" and "cant" to "don't" and "can't...All four are large and provide good tactile feedback..." read more »

"Wi-Fi–calling capability
Large keyboard
Accurate GPS...Some calls didn’t connect
2.5mm headphone jack
No camera...That’s the decision you’ll have to make with T-Mobile’s BlackBerry 8820, which, like its AT&T counterpart, offers GPS support and built-in Wi-Fi...However, at $349 with contract and online rebate, the T-Mobile 8820 is $50 more expensive than the AT&T 8820...On the other hand, the 8820 has the same beautiful 2.5-inch, 320 x 240 display..." read more »

"The BlackBerry 7290 looks much like its predecessors...And as a quad-band GSM device, the BlackBerry 7290 can travel the world...Because the 7290 paired easily with our Logitech and Nokia Bluetooth headsets, that's now much less of an issue...Unfortunately, the 7290 doesn't support voice dialing, so you'll still have to pull out your BlackBerry in order to dial...Like other recent-model BlackBerrys, the 7290 is supported by RIM's Web client, which will forward up to ten e-mail accounts to the device..." read more »

"With the recent release of the T-Mobile 8320 Curve, AT&T had to quickly get back to the drawing board to prepare their newest Blackberry model, the Curve 8310...The Blackberry Curve 8310 is quite a nice device with many useful features...The Curve 8320 and the Curve 8310 are very similar in most ways, but there is one key difference between the two BlackBerry models...T-Mobile's 8320 offers Wi-Fi support for ultra-fast wireless Internet as well as Internet calls, while AT&T's Curve 8310 opted not to go with Wi-Fi functionality and instead integrated a nice GPS feature into the device...Although the new Curve 8310 doesn't have Wi-Fi support, it is still capable of browsing the Internet via AT&T's EDGE network...Pricing for the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 is fairly reasonable at about $199 with a 2-year service agreement with AT&T..." read more »

"I use this for my home and cell phone...Additionally, the Curve feels durable, but after a couple of weeks of everyday use, we found it attracted scratches and nicks a little too easily; we highly recommend keeping it a carrying case...Snap crisp photos on the 2 MP camera with 5x zoom and flash..." read more »

"Slim BlackBerry Pearl, now with GPS...Very good battery life...Navigation software looks better than competitor's...Cons: Same Pearl, different...Same Pearl, different model number...OS and older apps need visual update...Web browser renders messy pages....Still, even though there is little to recommend AT&T's BlackBerry Pearl 8110 over the others, it's still a competent smartphone and not a bad choice, even though there are better choices around...We still..." read more »
