By Alex Kidman on 13/08/2007

More RIM reviews , RRP: AU$749.00

The good:

  • Eye catching design
  • Good camera
  • Excellent keyboard
  • Quad-band GSM
  • Bluetooth

The bad:

  • No Wi-Fi
  • No HSDPA
  • Average battery life

The bottomline:

The BlackBerry Curve takes both good and bad factors from the Pearl and 8800, making it an enticing phone -- but we're still waiting for the ultimate consumer BlackBerry

      Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.
