THE GOOD
The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 offers integrated GPS, Bluetooth 2.0, and EV-DO. The compact smartphone continues to offer solid messaging capabilities and includes support for a number of features that the Verizon model does not.

THE BAD
The BlackBerry Curve 8330 lacks Wi-Fi, and call quality wasn't the greatest.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Despite some spotty call quality, the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 for Sprint is a great messaging device with the bonus of EV-DO and integrated GPS. Plus, it offers more services than the Verizon BlackBerry Curve.

    I recently ditched my Blackberry Pearl from T-Mobile in favor for another smart device with a full qwerty keyboard. Although I knew that Blackberry devices are great little devices, I thought it was time to expand my horizons and try something else....  read more »
