The Blackberry Bold 9700 & Blackberry 9000 Review

Blackberry Curve 9300 at Rogers

Kinda interesting news, the Blackberry Curve 9300 has come available at rogers… I’m beginning to wonder why RIM makes the curve series… I guess college students don’t need much out of a phone…

They have gone to the full 624mhz processor in fact it feels like RIM is stuck on this processor and never seems to use any faster than this. This however, is yet another device incapable of OS 6.0 as it doesn’t quite meet the ram requirement.

I’m a big fan of lots of what RIM has in their devices, but you’d think you’d want things moving forward not backward.

Resolution is still 320×240 – Much like the 8530 and 8520 Curve’s.

Still 2 megapixel camera, still has no flash. It does have GPS though, but still it seems like a tiny upgrade to the curve line to call it a 9300 series when it’s really an 8530 with 3G internet access. It may recieve a limited version of 0s 6.0 at some point, but with only 256mb of RAM, it’ll be slower than a Torch or Blackberry Bold 9650.
