The Cool BlackBerry Curve 8330
I've spent the last few days checking out the BlackBerry Curve 8330, and have come away very impressed. The Curve is a good-looking, consumer-friendly phone that packs in a ton of features. It’s available now from Sprint for $180 (after rebates, and when signing a new customer agreement).
Like all BlackBerry phones (including the BlackBerry 8700g), this model is an excellent messaging device. You can use it to access as many as 10 personal and business e-mail accounts.
This phone does a lot more than just offer mobile access to e-mail, though: It includes built-in GPS that delivers turn-by-turn directions right to your phone, and it has a 2.0-megapixel camera that captures still photos and video. It also includes an easy to use audio and video player, and support for the Sprint TV service, which broadcasts live TV right on your phone.

The built-in GPS in the BlackBerry Curve is locked in the Verizon phone.
In order for any 3rd party apps to be able to use it, Verizon wants you to pay $10/month for “Navigator”.
(Nice going Verizon! Get every dime out of your customers if possible.)
On all of the other carriers, it is unlocked and free to use - as BlackBerry intended it to be.
