Home / Cell phones / Multimedia smartphones / CTIA Spring 2008 Sprint's BlackBerry Curve is green to make EDGE Curve owners jealous By Philip Berne, 3 April 2008 GALLERY Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 on Sprint features loads of Sprint 3G multimedia services, so is this the Curve to see? Editor's note: Click here to read our in-depth review of the Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8330. RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 (Sprint) Specs »  Gallery » The Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8330 is a slight but significant improvement over the Verizon Wireless version of the same phone, thanks to the additional apps that Sprint has thrown in. On Sprint's Curve, we found plenty of instant messaging options, including GTalk, our favorite, as well as the Facebook app for BlackBerry. We also liked Handmark's Pocket Express, which didn't quite excuse the poor Web browser, but did make information gathering more pleasant. Best of all, the Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8330 retains the excellent battery life and improved scheduling capabilities we've come to appreciate on this device. Right now, this is probably the best BlackBerry on the market, as well as the best multimedia smartphone Sprint has to offer. Release: May 2008. Price: $200. Pros: Comes with more useful apps than competitor. Best-in-class battery life. Loads of messaging options. Comes with more useful apps than competitor. Best-in-class battery life.
