I was a very big fan of RIMs original mainstream consumer device, the BlackBerry Pearl 8100. It offered good functionality in a nice form factor, and had a great trackball for navigation. For as much as I loved that device, though, I love the Curve ev...
Great size, feel and build quality, Nice set of features, Great email capabilities, A good Media device
AT&T network is iffy and slow, Call quality was good but not great

Abstract: Research In Motions BlackBerry Curve, also known as the BlackBerry 8300, is at the same time delightful and perplexing. This device, available in the U.S. from AT&T Inc. for as little as $199, depending on the contract, is delightful because its the...
