One of the more disappointing aspects to the BlackBerry Curve 9300 is its camera. I did find that after some oil from my fingers got on the trackpad, as is bound to happen, it got a little less responsive.īlackBerry Curve 9300 - Camera and Video: It does its job and I definitely like it better than the old trackball. The trackpad is exactly the same as every other contemporary BlackBerry, so it really came as little surprise. The keys are quite hard to the touch too, instead of using a slightly softer plastic which may have been more comfortable. However, it wasn’t comfortable trying to type with the pads of my thumbs, forcing me to use my fingernails or the absolute tips of my fingers instead. It has the same “separated” key layout as its predecessors, which is quite unlike the “connected” keyboard on the Bold 9700. If you’re a fan of the QWERTY keyboards from the days of the 8300 series, you’ll feel right at home with the Curve 9300. The 2.4-inch display is just QVGA and, strangely enough, BlackBerry App World does not come pre-installed. Other specs and highlights include the usual BlackBerry accoutrements like the QWERTY keyboard, optical trackpad, BIS/BES support, and TeleNav. You get both 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and GPS, as well as the aforementioned 3.6Mbps HSPA 3G connection. The rest of the specs are better than some Curves from the past though. There’s just 256MB of internal memory, but you can expand that with the included microSD memory card slot.

For instance, it only has a 2.0-megapixel camera and that doesn’t even come with flash. The price reflects that, but be prepared to make some sacrifices. As a Curve, the BlackBerry 9300 is a very clear step down from even older devices like the BlackBerry Bold 9700.
