T he size of mobile phones has drastically changed over the past few years. The first generation of the mobile phone was huge, its external antenna and heavy weight made it unappealing to carry the phone with you at all times. Not long later, many new...

Design There are two ways to look at Research in Motions latest BlackBerry handset. You could pass it off as "just another BlackBerry", the design of the full-QWERTY keyboard and rounded edges suggest this, but we think that would be unfair. The 8900...

We wanted a "Baby Bold" but instead got the "Bold lite". Not having 3G seriously cripples an otherwise excellent BlackBerry.

RIM, the manufacturer of the iconic BlackBerry smartphone, has certainly been busy of late. In the past few months it has launched the first clamshell BlackBerry, the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, the first touch-screen BlackBerry, the Storm, and the BlackBerry Bold. The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is the latest RIM smartphone to hit the Australian market, and its the smallest and lightest BlackBerry to feature a full QWERTY keyboard. Initially launched with Vodafone in Australia (other telcos dont offer...

Looking a lot like Blackberrys flagship, the Bold 9000, the latest handset from Canadian email maestro Research in Motion (RIM), is a slightly more compact version of that phone but still manages to pack in almost all of the same features. Theres Wi-...

The 8900 looks good and does everything youd want a BlackBerry to do. The only question is, do you want HSDPA and 3G? If you dont - and with the 8900s Wi-Fi, you might well not - this Bold Junior is rather cheaper than the RIM flagship, and comes w...

But if you want small, lightweight, and multifunctional, I'd opt for the Curve 8900, even over the Pearl. It's only slightly larger, but affords the ability to manipulate a full QWERTY keyboard instead of using SureType.
