BlackBerry Throws a Curve
Getting tired of the bland, blue, plastic BlackBerry that's been clipped to your belt for years, but your thumbs are too big for the BlackBerry Pearl's compact form? You may be interested in the company's latest offering, the BlackBerry 8300, also known as the Curve. It's similar to the earlier 8800 and 8830 models, -- it's got a full QWERTY keyboard and a little trackball -- but is a bit more rounded and stylish and packs some extra features that make it more of a multimedia device. Like the Pearl, for example, the Curve has a microSD slot for storage, video playback, and audio through either stereo Bluetooth output or a standard headphone jack (so you can use your iPod headphones, for example).
Unlike the 8800 series, the Curve also sports a 2.0 megapixel camera on the backside.
So now you can listen to some tunes while you thumb through your e-mail on the subway and will always have a camera handy to capture your co-workers' drunken antics at holiday parties. No word on an official release date, but it should be within the month.
