In a nutshell, Blackberry phones seemed to be on the expensive end of the market and many people who have them seemed to be pleased.

The blackberry curve is a sleek and lightweight business device. The large screen, simple menu and qwerty keyboard make using the curve a delight.

I have had the Blackberry Curve 8320 for almost a year. I use my phone for mobile email, keep track of my schedule and to surf the web. I got this BB 5 months ago and I love it, particularly the wifi capability. I also use it as my Mp3 player, after I added a 2 gig microsd card.
