_it00.jpg) There isn't much surprise in seeing a BlackBerry Curve on Sprint, but that doesn't mean it isn't a welcome addition, especially the BlackBerry 8330 Curve, which packs GPS for Sprint Navigation. Additionally, Sprint has loaded the phone with Sprint TV and Sprint Music, instead of just relying on the standard BlackBerry stack. The version we saw came in an appealing green color, ironically like the green Palm Treo 755p on Verizon Wireless (Sprint got a blue one). In any case, we always liked this phone for multimedia, considering its 3.5mm headphone jack and small size, and we've always gotten good results from Sprint's fast network, so it's a happy match. We won't complain about things like the aging interface design and other nibbling BlackBerry concerns, especially not at a wedding. Release: May 2008. Price: $180.
Pros: Fast networking for the Curve, another BlackBerry for Sprint. Nice color.
Cons: Even Sprint Music isn't much of an improvement to the multimedia software. BlackBerry OS needs a little polish.
