Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8330

MSRP: $179

RIM’s smallest BlackBerry with a full QWERTY keyboard hooks up with Sprint’s Music Store and TV, making this a great smart phone for work and play.

Review date: May 13, 2008

RIM continues to expand its offerings with the Curve 8330. Being released through two carriers, Sprint’s version supports its high-speed EV-DO network as well as its over-the-air Sprint Music Store and Sprint TV multimedia destinations. Add in GPS support and video recording capability, and you’ve got a handset that’s nearly perfect for business users looking for some fun on the side. Sprint Curve 8330 Design and Interface While its physical stats remain mostly unchanged from the original Curve 8300, the titanium-colored Curve 8330 is one of the best looking BlackBerrys we’ve seen. We love the sleek black keypad’s look against its smoky gray surface and black screen accents. Like its predecessor
