BB Curve 9300
Found on Engadget this evening:
It death of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 on T-Mobile (you can still get it on AT&T, by the way) bummed us out for the simple reason that it was perhaps the best-looking BlackBerry every made. The Curve 8500 series that followed it just didn't have the same sort of sleek, high-end air about it, so we're happy to see that the 8500's follow-on should go a little ways toward closing the gap. What we're apparently looking at here is the Curve 9300, a phone that carries over the now-standard optical pad from the 8500 but uses a decidedly 8900-esque chrome surround while adding 3G and support for 802.11n, a feature it shares with the Pearl 3G. What keeps the 9300 on the low end of the spectrum, though, is its screen -- it's apparently just QVGA, and we're a little discouraged that the leaked unit here isn't running BlackBerry 6 -- but you get what you pay for, right? BlackBerry Curve 9300 fixing to replace the 8500 series? -- Engadget |
8900 user here.... That picture of the 9300 from the link, the chrome bezel is pretty hideous... I think what's even worse is that it now runs around the entire perimeter of the phone.... Why haven't they figured out that all black is the way to go? I remember when TV manufacturers experimented with the silver/gray bezels and they very quickly realized what a mistake it was and the following year, all the bezels were black again.....

The 9300 also involves a camera downgrade from 3.2 MP (in the 8900) to 2 MP.
I don't think phone cameras really need to have more than 3.2 MP, but in my opinion they shouldn't have less. Ubizmo |

After years of loyal BB use I finally gave up 12 months ago, went out and began enjoying iPhones and Android phones. I miss the way BB handles email and messaging so I want a 9300 ugly or not. At least it has a far better keyboard than my 9700 which is on it's way out. I'll use all three and forget about the BB style, just enjoy it for email. |
