Design and Keyboard
If you've seen a BlackBerry released in the past two years, then you've essentially seen the Curve 3G. Almost identical to last year's Curve 8530, the Curve 3G measures 4.3 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches and weighs 3.7 ounces. It feels light next to other smart phones, but the textured plastic shell it has doesn't feel cheap. The phone comes in charcoal and fuchsia red colors. The charcoal unit we tested had black soft-touch sides and black plastic over the buttons.
The front of the phone uses an optical trackpad--which was mostly precise--for navigation. The top of the phone has media controls so you can easily play, pause, fast forward, rewind, or change tracks. The left side of the Curve 3G has a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microUSB/charging port, and a voice dialing button. The right side has two volume buttons and a camera button. A microSD card slot is found just behind the back cover, next to the battery.
The Curve 3G's keyboard sits on the front of the device and looks identical to the keyboard on the Curve 8530. It's a comfortable QWERTY layout that has just the right amount of spacing between keys. It's a little loud when typing, but we suspect that will soften over time.
Display and User Interface
The Curve 3G's 2.4-inch screen has a resolution of 320 x 240, which is low for a current-generation smart phone. The still-new BlackBerry Bold 9650 on Verizon has 480 x 360 resolution, but that device sells for a steep $149. Generally, pictures looked decent but text looked a little fuzzy.
Unfortunately, the Curve 3G runs BlackBerry 5 OS. It has a customizable home screen with five icons you can choose, but the menu is full of inscrutable icons. It's perplexing why RIM doesn't have the much-better BlackBerry 6 OS already running on it. Verizon says the device is BlackBerry 6 ready, and the company says an update will occur in "the coming months." Hopefully that means sooner rather than later.
Specs and Performance
The Curve 3G has a faster 624-MHz processor compared to the Curve 8530's 528-MHz processor, and consequently, offers slightly faster performance. The Curve 3G also has 512MB of RAM, up from the 256MB on the previous model. Changing between apps, writing messages, and navigating never felt slow or sluggish. Browsing the Web sometimes felt slow, but we blame the browser more for that. (More on that later.)
E-mail and Messaging
The standard and reliable push e-mail that RIM is known for is still in full swing on the Curve 3G. We were able to set up a primary Gmail account in only a few minutes. The device also imported all our Google contacts without hassle, so we had the phone numbers and e-mail contacts we use the most on the phone straight away. The BlackBerry 5 OS supports threaded e-mails and text messages. This unit supports up to 11 e-mail addresses when using the BlackBerry Internet service, with 10 Web mail accounts and one BlackBerry account. For instant messaging, the Curve 3G supports Google Talk, Yahoo, Windows Live, AIM, and BlackBerry Messenger.
