Very narrow, lightweight, and elegant for a quality phone carrying a full QWERTY keyboard, the Blackberry Curve smartphone is one more cell phone model in a long line of Blackberry products that never ceases to amaze those who own one. Not just any keyboard, though - this QWERTY keyboard is among the thinnest and easiest to use that you can possibly get.

Despite its slender appearance, this is one smartphone that can handle the daily abuse that we all seem to subject our phones to. Even after years of being dropped, dunked or forgotten, the Curve will keep you connected. This wonderfully sleek phone has that distinctly Blackberry look, but it tucks nicely into a pocket or small handbag. You will also enjoy the new TFT LCD screen, a 2.4 inch marvel that provides a fantastic picture with its 480 x 360 pixel resolution.

Operating this incredible device is easy, even using only one hand, with easy-access buttons on each side of the phone. You are able to transition from phone calls to and from text messages with great simplicity. Such features as the superior OS 4.6.1.114 interface system make learning each application a very quick and painless process, and the monitor provides all the navigating tools (Menu, Navigator, Back, End, Talk) you have come to expect from a quality smartphone.

One of the best additions to the Curve is its improved Web browsing. You will be able to enjoy a true HTML web browser capable of supporting RSS feeds as well as media streaming. So now you can sneak a peek at your favorite YouTube video whenever you want. There is also a built-in GPS unit with access to Google Maps, Blackberry Maps and TeleNav GPS Navigator. If you are worried that all this must eat up a lot of memory space, do not worry. The Curve has an internal 64MB memory as well as an expandable memory slot for microSD storage cards.

The Curve has been designed to appeal to long-time Blackberry fans as well as first-time users. You still have all the great Blackberry functions, like e-mail and browsing, as well as Wi-Fi and even a 3.2 megapixel camera. This small package conceals a powerful machine, yet it is priced to compete with any smartphone out there. It will no doubt become one of Blackberry’s most popular models, but with a little research, you should still be able to find a good offer. Many service providers are offering the Curve for just under $100.
