Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8330

Geek reviews the Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8330:

The Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8330 itself hasn’t changed much and still sports a track ball, Micro-SD card slot, Bluetooth, 2MP camera, and integrated GPS. Sprint’s own flavor is the key differentiator though, with connectivity to the Sprint Software Store, Sprint Music Store, Sprint TV and Sprint OnDemand, among others.

I played with Sprint TV, which worked perfectly thanks to the EVDO connectivity, and a number of other applications. They all worked flawlessly and the bright color screen on the Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8330 made it a pleasure to use.

All that’s required to snag a BlackBerry Bold well before its public release is to become a Grammy award-winning artist, sell out shows worldwide, date a smattering of superstars and convince Fender to create and sell your own branded guitar.

Granted, he can’t claim to be the very first with said handset, but it’s likely the first completely legitimate edition let loose.

Blackberry BoldThese are unofficial, and are subject to change: as expected, AT&T will be the first to get the Bold, and will start selling it for $300 in July 2008.

Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile customers will be able to get their hands on the device in September. It sounds strange, but apparently T-Mobile will offer the phone for $350.

If something changes, we’ll let you know.

BlackBerry Battery Covers

Every ounce of irony is intended on this one. Seriously I thought removable faceplates and such were not important to smartphone users. The last faceplate I had was on my Nokia 3650 and I don’t miss the flimsy feel.
