CNET Review
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.
