BlackBerry Curve 8520

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 shows that the future of the BlackBerry is here... kind of. By far the stand-out feature of the Curve 8520 is its new optical trackpad, which replaces the trackball for navigation -- and it rocks. In a confusing move though, the 8520 is the third Curve available on T-Mobile, in addition to the original and the 8900, which was released early this year. The 8250 has several elements that depart from traditional BlackBerrys, beyond just the trackpad. Features such as de...

BlackBerry Curve 8900

The revamped BlackBerry Curve 8900 by RIM is the convertible sports-car of BlackBerrys. It is sleek, light, comfortably sized and incredibly powerful. The Curve has been an abiding standby for BlackBerry nation, and the newest model promises to deliver on expectations. Much of the 8900's improvements can be attributed to design considerations and software and usability. There is still room for improvement in some areas, though.

BlackBerry Storm 9530

There is a lot to like about this device, including its sharp display, an auto-focus 3.2 megapixel camera, and applications like Visual ...

BlackBerry Bold 9000

The new BlackBerry Bold 9000 is the successor to devices like the BlackBerry Curve and the 8800. It is evolutionary, not revolutionary. But RIM's long years of experience really come through in the Bold, and it is far and away the best BlackBerry I've ever used. Part of this is the elegance of the design, but a number of new features contribute as well, like the HVGA screen, HSDPA, and greatly improved software for working with Microsoft Office files. DESIGN & BUILD RIM has dramaticall...

BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220

The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 marks RIM's first foray into an uncharted form-factor: a flip phone. While flip-phones have been considered fashionable since the RAZR to fame circa 2003, the Pearl Flip shakes up the status quo. The phone packs the same innovative features that BlackBerry has become synonymous with, but in a form factor that both protects the screen and preserves precious pocket real estate. On the Outside Though unusual, the design grew on me, and ultimately stands out among R...
