BlackBerry Curve hands-on by... John Mayer?

by Conrad Quilty-Harper, posted May 12th 2007 at 3:01PM

When he isn't designing clothing lines, contemplating how awesome it is that he's dating Jessica Simpson, and picking up Grammys -- oh, and writing / playing his own music -- John Mayer apparently moonlights as a gadget blogger. His latest entry on his blog has a very short hands-on with the new BlackBerry Curve, which consists of a photo of the front and back of the device, and a single photograph taken on the phone's 2 megapixel cam. (He even manages to throw in a pun and a lyrics reference into the 30 odd word description!) The only other tidbit that we can skim from the blog entry is the fact that advance units are out in the wild, and that our own Paul Miller (who is widely credited as the first to combine the arts of gadget blogging and writing songs) has some serious competition on his hands.

I have a friend with a black pearl. She has to keep the battery cover on with a piece of tape. This phone appears to have the same latch keeping the cover on. Do these phones have the same problem with the cover coming off?

Regarding comment No. 1: I've had a BlackBerry 8300 for about a week. Although that certainly doesn't quality as a long-term test of the cover, I've removed the cover many times and haven't had any problem with it.

I also have the Pearl and haven't had problems with the cover.

If you're interested in another first-hand report about the 8300 (and there are many good ones already on the Web), I posted my initial impressions on my camera phone weblog:
