RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 (Sprint)

BlackBerry Curve 8330 (Sprint)
Menu Back Home Screen

REVIEW

Sprint's version of the new BlackBerry Curve 8330 takes Verizon's version and improves on it in several ways: by adding mobile TV, over-the-air music downloads, more robust instant-messaging options, and a powerful information aggregator. In fact, the BlackBerry Curve 8330 is a top-notch smartphone—and our new Editors' Choice for Sprint, taking the title away from last year's BlackBerry 8830. The new Curve 8330's power, along with a wide array of capabilities, makes it ideal for both work and play.
