If you ’ve been look for the right-hand BlackBerry before making the start into CrackBerry land , your time has get along . The BlackBerry 8300 Curve is the electronic mail checking , medium - heavy smartphone we ’ve been wait for .
Design - wise , the 8300 is a looker with its thin Pearl - like profile , full QWERTY keyboard and silvern ending . But the real reason you ’ll desire it is ’cause of its media features . Both the guy cable at Laptop and Wired fit that this is RIM ’s good handheld , easily blending in at the office during the 24-hour interval and doubling as a cool smartphone at night . So what do we get ?
It ’s got a 2 - megapixel camera , a medium player for euphony , video , and photos , a 3.5 millimetre headphone diddly , a microSD card one-armed bandit for enlargement and a button - to - Talk Francis Scott Key . Service - wise , Laptop reports place up email is a cinch ( as expected ) and Web browsing via EDGE is snappy .
Now the cons . Yeah , the net is fast , but there ’s no 3 G support , which is a bit of a downer . And although the bend can toy video recording , it ca n’t shoot it . If you could live with that ( in person , I think I might be able to although no 3 G does suck ) , then you ’ve got your ambition phone right here . Pricing has n’t been declared yet , but we ’ll update when Cingular / AT&T says something .
