What is it:
Compact BlackBerry with full Qwerty keypad

We like:
Sharp display; wi-fi; GPS; Qwerty keypad

We don't like:
Lack of 3G

The judgement:
We didn't know what to expect from the BlackBerry Curve 8900 but were pleasantly surprised by its attractive, slim design. A full Qwerty keypad and sharp screen means emails and instant messaging are a joy to deal with, but the lack of 3G occasionally bugged us and makes the 8900 a little less desirable than it would otherwise have been.
