BlackBerry Curve 9380 review

It's horses for courses, but if you don't want the bulk of its larger cousin, the Curve 9380 offers a slick little package with a decent range of features so long as you're not expecting especially high performance.
Pros:
  • Slim and sleek styling
  • BlackBerry 7 OS
Cons:
  • Screen not too sharp
  • onscreen keyboard a bit cramped
  • processor shows occasional signs of lag
  • awkward hard buttons
  • not a great selection in BlackBerry App World

The BlackBerry Curve 9380 marks somewhat of a milestone for RIM, as it is the company's first device of the supposedly affordable Curve series that comes in a touchscreen-only form.
Pros:
  • A full suite of BlackBerry services
  • Good call quality
  • DivX video playback support
Cons:
  • Pricey for the specs
  • yet unappealing to the typical BlackBerry user
  • Stiff volume rocker and camera keys
  • Fixed-focus rear camera and no front-facing cam

  • universal voice search
  • maps â€" navigation was easy
  • fast and pretty accurate
Cons:
  • The 9380’s capacitive touch screen isn’t the greatest
  • I think it’s because the letters on the keyboard are too close together
  • even in landscape mode.

Blackberry Curve 9380

If you're not entirely convinced by touchscreen technology and prefer the tactile response of pushing real fingers on real keys, you may prefer one of the more traditional BlackBerries, such as the Curve 8520 .
