The Curve 3G 9300 is basically an updated version of the Curve 8520 - RIM's previous entry-level model. But rather than merely rehashing that phone, RIM has added in some tempting extras, not least of which is support for 3G, something that the 8520 was s...

The BlackBerry Curve 3G adds 3G to the Curve line of smartphones, and brings GPS into the Curve mix too. But the camera is poor, the screen resolution low, and the keyboard build is not quite at the top notch standard we anticipate from RIM. Maybe RIM...

on the BlackBerry Curve 3GAs an entry in the world of BlackBerry, the Curve 8520 did the job nicely. The Curve 3G does the same good job but the upgrades aren’t really impressive enough to justify the new handset. Of course it’s email and messaging ca...

We've seen more and more entry-level touchscreen handsets recently, so it's a refreshing change to get our hands on another smartphone with a proper keypad – the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300. Sitting at the affordable end of RIM's BlackBerry range, it does...

As with previous BlackBerry handsets, the Curve 3G excels when it comes to entering text. The keys are smaller than the more expensive BlackBerry models – like the Bold – but it's still easy to type at a fast pace, and we found it more accurate than using a touchscreen device. Despite the budget pricing, the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 is packed with features. As the name suggests, RIM has included...

The form factor of the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 automatically means that the keyboard takes up valuable screen space, so the Curve isn't quite as good as rivals when it comes to browsing the internet. The 2-megapixel camera also looks outdated.

If you're only interested in a phone for calls, emails and texting, the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 is ideal. The keyboard means you'll be able to text easily at speed, and quality is also good. It's not so good when it comes to web browsing, however, eve...

The Blackberry Curve 3G (9300) is the much-awaited upgrade of the BlackBerry Curve 8520 which sorely lacks 3G. It even has the same price point as that of the Curve 8520 when it first came out. Hopefully, this review will give you an idea if it's worth up...

I think they made significant improvements from the Curve 8520 to the Curve 9300/Curve 3G. The look and feel is definitely better plus features such as 3G, having a GPS system and allowing it to be ready for OS 6 are what makes this BlackBerry even better...
