BlackBerry RIM Curve 8330 Silver

Noah Kravitz
Posted on Monday, June 23, 2008
by Noah Kravitz, Senior Editor, Consumer Products and Services
Though you'll probably want to wait another month or so for the new BlackBerry Bold to hit the stores, the Curve is still the best all-around smartphone for use here in the US.  With BlackBerry's legendary QWERTY board and push Email service, and a media player backed by a real headphone jack, you can work and play on your Curve.  The VZW version offers 3G data, while the T-Mobile Curve has WiFi for data and UMA calling.  And, of course, there's always the Pearl for those of you who prefer good things in smaller packages.

    Mini-Review: BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 - T-Mobile

    Mini-Review: BlackBerry 8220

    The first ever flip BlackBerry is a winner, so long as you play to its strengths.  While the 8220 is very large for a modern day flip phone, it's lightweight and slick looking enough to trick you into thinking it's a little smaller than it really is.  I've had the 8220 for just under a week now, and I very quickly grew used to carrying it around in my pocket.  No, it's not as thin as a RAZR or as small as a low-end sliderphone,...

    Better Signal: Great tips and tricks for Verizon devices

    Better Signal: Verizon

    Lane Jensen in Oregon here and I have a great trick that works for all Verizon phones to get better signal. First, you need to be within about a 5-10 mile radius of where you are going to use your phone the most. Secondly, instead of dialing the normal *228 for activation, dial *22899 and it will take you instantly to the programming music and update your phone. No more having to go through the prompt and listening to the same old voice saying,...

    LG Lotus (Sprint) - Photos

    Hey, look what just came!  Thanks, Vanessa ;-)  Here are some photos of the black LG Lotus for Sprint.  The QWERTY board feels GREAT so far, as those bubbled chiclet-style keys make up for the relatively small size of the layout.  Sprint's new One Click UI is sort of cool and helpful and sort of overdone; I'll have to play with it more, but I hope it winds up being handier more often than it gets in the way.  And I'm...
