everyone this is Jessica doll Court for Cena taking a first look today at the blackberry curve 9300 phone for them and one of the things that's most interesting about it is that it is world capable so you can take it to other countries and pop in a GSM SIM card and use it there as well as using it here now the phone itself is very similar to the 93 50 and 90 364 t-mobile in Sprint it's a little bit smaller than the predecessor model and it's also much sleeker the design looks pretty nice there's a sort of textured back cover the keyboard here is pretty small and so is the screen screen is 2.4 inches it is not a touchscreen you do need to use this optical keypad here to get around even though the keyboard is a little bit small I found it pretty easy to type although the keys are a little plasticky and it's not the best keyboard I've ever seen from RIM there are definitely better blackberry keyboards it is an entry-level phone and it has a 5 megapixel camera on the back I was pretty satisfied with the shots there it's got this volume rocker and the camera button on the side that are very thin and I felt very uncomfortable to use the phone costs $99 for Verizon after a $50 mail-in rebate or online rebate this is sort of an expensive price for an entry-level phone but if you are a BlackBerry devotee and you are looking for something of this caliber then this is definitely a step up from the previous model of curve for Verizon however if you don't really care about the platform then I think that your money could go a little bit further with an Android phone once again this is the blackberry curve 9380 Belcourt you're watching CNN and you can read the full review and all other reviews at cnn.com
