More information about the BlackBerry Curve 8300:

“The BlackBerry Curve offers a unique blend of communications, multimedia and web features to provide people with an exceptional mobile companion for both work and leisure,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at RIM. “The BlackBerry Curve delivers RIM’s industry leading email and messaging capabilities in a highly approachable smartphone design that is packed with consumer-friendly features including a 2 megapixel camera, enhanced media player and high-performance browser.”

Smooth Design and Easy to Use

The BlackBerry Curve features a liquid silver finish, chrome highlights, smooth edges and soft curves. It is a full-featured smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard and large display and yet it boasts an impressively small and lightweight design at 4.2” x 2.4” x 0.6” and approximately 3.9 oz. The ultra-bright 320×240 display brings images and video to life and includes RIM’s light sensing technology that automatically adjusts backlighting levels for indoor, outdoor and dark environments. The handset also features RIM’s innovative trackball navigation system that makes scrolling and selecting fast and easy.

Multimedia to Go

The BlackBerry Curve comes with a 2 megapixel camera, complete with 5x digital zoom, built-in flash, self-portrait mirror and full screen viewfinder. The camera can capture images in up to three picture quality and size resolutions that can be shared instantly by email, MMS or BlackBerry Messenger and transferred over Bluetooth or USB cable. Photos can also be immediately set as a unique caller ID or Home Screen image.

The audio system is crisp and clear, playing music and videos through the handset’s integrated speaker or through the 3.5 mm stereo jack. The Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP) is supported, and dedicated volume controls are conveniently located on the side of the handset.

A powerful new desktop media manager is also included with the BlackBerry Curve. The Roxio Media Manager for BlackBerry, which was developed with Sonic and based on the award-winning Roxio Easy Media Creator 9, introduces a new level of simplicity, allowing users to easily search for media files on their computer, view and organize them, create MP3 music files from CDs, add audio tags, create playlists and automatically copy or convert pictures, music and videos for optimal playback on the BlackBerry Curve.

The media manager also includes Roxio Photosuite 9 LE, a comprehensive tool that makes it easy to edit pictures and create photo albums. With PhotoSuite, pictures can be cropped, rotated and straightened, and flaws can be fixed by removing redeye or changing the brightness, contrast and saturation levels. Pictures can even be enhanced with color filters and special effects.

The media player on the BlackBerry Curve has been refined, allowing users to search for music by simply typing the title, genre, artist or album name. Videos can also be played in full screen mode.

More Storage for Your Tunes, Flicks and Pics

For added storage of music, videos and pictures, the BlackBerry Curve comes with a microSD expansion slot. It supports up to 2GB cards that are available today and will automatically support 4GB cards that are expected to become available later this year.

Bring the Web With You

The BlackBerry Curve features a high-performance browser that can download and display HTML web pages quickly and efficiently. Users can bookmark their favorite sites and set up RSS feeds to stay connected to the timely news and information that matters most during their day. The highly responsive browser, large and vivid screen and super-easy trackball navigation provides an exceptional mobile experience.

Full Featured Phone

The BlackBerry Curve offers many convenient phone features including Speaker Independent Voice Recognition (SIVR) for Voice Activated Dialing (VAD), Bluetooth® 2.0 support for hands-free use with headsets, car kits and Bluetooth peripherals, quad-band operation for global roaming(2), dedicated ’send’, ‘end’, and ‘mute’ keys, smart dialing, speed dialing, conference calling, call forwarding, noise cancellation technology to offset background noise, a low-distortion speakerphone for hands-free conversations and support for polyphonic, mp3 and MIDI ring tones.

Industry Leading Email & Messaging

The BlackBerry Curve delivers all the renowned BlackBerry email and messaging capabilities and even features a new integrated spell checker with a user-customizable dictionary to help maintain spelling accuracy on the go. The BlackBerry Curve is supported on BlackBerry® Internet Service, giving users access to up to 10 work or personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts), as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server, enabling advanced security and IT administration within IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise environments.

Accessorize

The BlackBerry Curve also comes with a variety of accessories: a stereo headset, travel charger, carrying pouch and USB cable are all included in the box. Additional accessories for BlackBerry handsets, including premium leather holsters and totes, an automotive charger, and Bluetooth headsets are available through retail outlets or online at: www.shopblackberry.com.

Availability

The BlackBerry Curve (model number: 8300) will be available through wireless carriers around the world, including AT&T in the U.S., beginning this spring.

(1) Keyboard also available in AZERTY and QWERTZ configurations to support different language groups.

(2) Check with service provider for roaming services.

BlackBerry Curve 8300 Reviews

TechWorld has a review of the BlackBerry Curve 8300 and writes, “The Curve really shines as a mail and data device. Its 320-by-240-pixel screen is gorgeous - gone are the bad old days of muddy BlackBerry color displays. I also liked the small, marblelike trackball; its fluid movement substantially improves on the jog-wheel approach of yore. The trackball was particularly useful for skimming through Web pages on the embedded browser. But sometimes the trackball’s fluidity moved the cursor more quickly than I anticipated it would - so I did a lot of backtracking through data entry fields. … Overall, however, I found the Curve a seductive alternative to other candy-bar phones with wide-aspect-ratio screens, such as the Samsung Blackjack and the T-Mobile Dash.” Link.

LaptopMag has a review of the BlackBerry Curve and awards it an Editor’s Choice award: “The Curve’s biggest competition isn’t other BlackBerrys but the Samsung BlackJack, which currently costs only $149 with a mail-in rebate. The BlackJack’s 3G data connection is only a moderate advantage because of Windows Mobile’s slower browser, but its built-in camcorder and support for Cingular Video are definite pluses. On the other hand, the Curve offers a better e-mail experience, a sharper camera, and much longer battery life. Despite a few drawbacks, this is the best BlackBerry–and one of the most well-rounded smart phones–money can buy.” Link.

CNET has a review of the BlackBerry Curve and writes, “General performance was snappy. Despite the occasional “loading” message when trying to view photos in slide show mode, we didn’t run into too many delays when opening or working in various apps. Music playback through the device’s speakers was impressive for a cell phone, with fairly full sound and decent balance, but we could have done with a little more bass. Watching video was smooth overall. … Though it doesn’t bring Wi-Fi or 3G support, the BlackBerry Curve offers a best-of-breed design and a well-rounded set of features to make it an attractive device for consumers and mobile professionals alike.” Link.

Pocket-lint has a review of the BlackBerry 8300 Curve and writes, “The Curve is more of the same from BlackBerry and while it doesn’t push any boundaries - there is still no 3G or Wi-Fi support here, the new form factor is great for those looking for a small package but not wanting to sacrifice that QWERTY keyboard. The improvement of the camera over the Pearl will appeal to those who like to snap the odd picture when they are out, but don’t buy this thinking the GPS will get you from A to Z.” Link.

RegHardware has a review of the BlackBerry Curve 8300 and writes, “The Curve’s call quality was a little disappointing - while it was still possible to make out what the other party was saying, it didn’t sound as clear as, quite frankly, it should have done. … The Curve is a well thought out consumer BlackBerry with a texting-friendly full QWERTY keyboard. Like its siblings, it still lags a little on the multimedia side of things, but it’s getting there. But it excels with email.” Link.

Trusted Reviews has a review of the BlackBerry Curve 8300 and writes, “During testing the mobile email features it worked pretty well. I used the BlackBerry Internet Service, designed for POP3 email users, and was certainly kept up to date with all the really important email and (regrettably) the spam that wings into my various inboxes. The Curve checks for messages automatically about every twenty minutes, and you can force a check whenever you want to. … The Curve is certainly a neat little BlackBerry, small and light, and comfortable to use. I’d have liked Wi-Fi and 3G but at least RIM is clearly working hard at developing its multimedia capabilities. For a first attempt in that respect the Curve does pretty well.” Link.

PCPro has a review of the BlackBerry Curve 8300 and writes, “The lack of wireless options aside, as an alternative to the 8800 the Curve excels. It offers nearly all of the features, weighs a little less, and looks a little better. Despite the gaps in its list of specifications, those looking for a little flair in a portable communications device should definitely consider this as an alternative to a full-sized BlackBerry.” Link.

Infosync has a review of the BlackBerry Curve and concludes, “The Curve aims to bring the BlackBerry line to a more general audience, and to accomplish this RIM has improved the media player and, well, that’s about it. Aside from our lousy experience with the Roxio software, the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo Bluetooth means that this could be a decent music phone. Otherwise, the Curve is still a BlackBerry, which is good for calls, e-mail, and other hardcore smartphone functions. Still, the aging interface and the heavily textual menus might scare away folks who don’t want to nitpick onscreen font sizes, or adjust network settings. Excellent battery life deserves high praise, but every BlackBerry has excellent battery life.” Link.

WebUser has a review of the BlackBerry Curve and writes, “This is a small, compact smartphone that fits plenty of useful tricks into its case. Email addicts won’t be able to get enough of it, but those looking for something to browse the web with might find it disappointing – it’s no better than any other option with a reasonably sized screen. If all you really want is email on the move then it’s a useful device, though you may baulk at having to pay a premium for its less exciting features, like the distinctly average camera.” Link.

Brighthand has a review of the BlackBerry Curve and writes, “Overall I was greatly impressed by the Curve. While it lacks some features that young consumers have come to expect in smartphones, the Curve is arguably the best blend of the business-oriented BlackBerry and a multimedia player to date. The rugged construction combined with ease of use make the 8300 an ideal purchase for anyone looking for their first BlackBerry. Likewise, working professionals can upgrade to a smartphone that offers a little more fun. If you can overlook the poor web browser, lack of video camera, and horrible location of the microSD slot, the Curve might still be one of the best smartphones currently on the market.” Link.

ITReviews has a review of the BlackBerry Curve 8300 and writes, “this time around the desktop software includes an element for copying multimedia to the BlackBerry Curve. Music and video. And the Curve will obligingly play these things for you. The software hails from Roxio and also includes CD ripping and media library management among its capabilities. The small step, then, is the inclusion of this software, but it heralds what the BlackBerry maker RIM must hope will be a giant leap into the world of the consumer. … It’s a shame there is no Wi-Fi and that the quad-band Curve is not 3G, but these things aside the BlackBerry Curve is a well featured and versatile device.” Link.

Gadgetnutz has a review of the BlackBerry Curve and writes, “I think this is BlackBerry’s best device to date. The Curve is so nice to hold and use. It feels solid - there is no squeaking like the 8800 and the Pearl. The keys are very tactile and easy to use. BlackBerry Email just can’t be beat and it works flawlessly on the Curve. Throw in a good 2.0 Mega Pixel camera and full media capabilities along with flawless Synchronization with Outlook and you have (almost) the perfect device. Powerful enough for the business user and die-hard BlackBerry user and fun for those looking to also use this as an MP3 device, Video viewer and Camera.” Link.

3G has a review of the BlackBerry Curve and writes, ” The Curve is a mixed multimedia bag. It is undoubtedly the best BlackBerry to date, but RIM still hasn’t advanced enough to really excite and rival other top multimedia smartphones. A BlackBerry with 3G and Wi-Fi should be next on the agenda, please RIM.” Link.

RegHardware has a review of the BlackBerry Curve 8300 and writes, “The Curve’s call quality was a little disappointing - while it was still possible to make out what the other party was saying, it didn’t sound as clear as, quite frankly, it should have done. … The Curve is a well thought out consumer BlackBerry with a texting-friendly full QWERTY keyboard. Like its siblings, it still lags a little on the multimedia side of things, but it’s getting there. But it excels with email.” Link.

MobileBurn reviews the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8300 and they say, “I was a very big fan of RIM’s original mainstream consumer device, the BlackBerry Pearl 8100. It offered good functionality in a nice form factor, and had a great trackball for navigation. For as much as I loved that device, though, I love the Curve even more. It is neither the thinnest or most compact of the QWERTY smartphones on the market, but it could well be the best of them…The keyboard is one of the best I have ever used, and I still love trackballs on phones as much today as I did last year. The Curve is missing 3G and WiFi connectivity, which will be a problem for some people, but in spite of that, I still find it to offer the best mobile email experience available today. It also offers all of the multimedia functionality that people crave, including the elusive 3.5mm headphone jack. With all of that functionality and its great physical design, it should be of no surprise that I give the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8300 a “Highly Recommended” rating.” Link.
