Craving a
BlackBerry 8300 "Curve" review with a little more journalistic juice to it than, say,
John Mayer's? Look no further, friends; we've got you covered with a three-pack of previews for the device. Sentiment for Waterloo's latest QWERTY handset is overwhelmingly positive, focusing on a few key points: great keyboard, great media support (a 3.5mm jack sure doesn't hurt there), and surprisingly good battery life. The camera seems to be decent -- all 2 megapixels of it, anyway -- and none of the lucky previewers seemed too bummed about the EDGE-only data speeds. Throw in what might be the most attractive case on a RIM phone to date, and it seems the Curve might do the seemingly impossible by filling both Pearl
and 8800 owners with envy when it launches on AT&T in the not-too-distant future.

this is the best BlackBerry...")

The BlackBerry Curve smartphone is a quad-band device, and is compatible with T-Mobile's EDGE network for data access and web browsing. T-Mobile says its EDGE network offers bandwidths of up to four times the speed of ISDN. EDGE is already available on a large part of the T-Mobile network. EDGE will be available across almost all of T-Mobile's network by the end of 2007.
The BlackBerry Curve smartphone will be available from T-Mobile Germany from June 2007 and will cost 99.95 with a 24-month contract on the Relax 100 XL rate and 429.95 without contract.
