Harvest time
BlackBerry Curve 3G
The BlackBerry Curve 3G is a great update to this ever-popular device for business users, from the boardroom to staff in the field. Like the Pearl before it, we have waited a long time for an update that bought this handset into the world of mobile broadband, and thankfully that moment has now arrived.
This latest device, model 9300, supports high speed 3G (HSDPA) networks, while giving users the same basic Curve package they had before. Although not wildly exciting, this is good for dedicated lovers of the Curve. Also, according to RIM the new Curve is set to be sold at an affordable price, which will help attract a broad business community plus first time smartphone users.
The BlackBerry Curve 3G, rather disappointingly, ships with BlackBerry 5, but is BlackBerry 6 ready. BlackBerry 6 is expected to be available for the new Curve in coming months, and this new operating system will hopefully add an extra dimension to the device.
The new BlackBerry Curve 3G smartphone (model 9300) is available now from various carriers and distribution partners around the world, arriving in the UK any time now.
