BlackBerry Curve vs. BlackBerry 8800

May 4, 2007 by Robb Dunewood 7 Comments

Our friends across the pond over at airtime manager in the UK have been testing the pre-release version of the BlackBerry Curve for a while now and they’ve put up a full review here. One of the things that stands out to me is just how much smaller the the BlackBerry Curve is than the BlackBerry 8800.

The BlackBerry Curve is significantly shorter, not quite as wide, and just a tad bit thicker than the BlackBerry 8800. They really impressive thing for me is the much better spacing of the keys even though there is less surface area.

The Curve is very lite as well coming in at just 4 oz. I have always been partial to the SureType 71XX series BlackBerrys because of their small form factor, however, the BlackBerry Curve may be just small enough to pass my ‘fit in your pocket without feeling like scientific calculator’ test.

    The 8300 will be out mid May on O2 and end of May on Vodafone – but that’s in the UK. I doubt T-Mobile will be far behind as RIM are not keen on network exclusives anymore in any country, and the sooner they can get the device out on the most amount of networks the better it is for them.

    I love the feel of my 8800. I think the Curve will do well too. I can’t say that the amount of difference here will be material. There is a big change from the 8700 to the 8800 but I think the change to the 8300 is minimal in practicality.

    Hello all
    I was wondering after reading the description for the curve and 8800, is there really any new functionality in the curve vs 8800? The only thing I would change on my 8800 is to get on cingulars faster 3g network for better internet response. Please let me know if the curve can do something the 8800 can’t.
