Blackberry Curve 8330

The Blackberry Curve 8330 is the second highest 8300-series smartphone in the Blackberry Curve line (second only to the 8350i). What it possesses that the lesser 8300-series Curves do not, in a nutshell is a video recorder, a GPS, and 32 more megabytes of internal flash memory (at 96 MB as compared with 64 MB). Speaking of memory, while all the 8300 series Blackberry Curves have a micro SD card slot for expandable memory, the micro SD card slot in the Blackberry Curve 8330 is hot swappable and SDHC supported. The Blackberry 8300 is also known as the Sprint and Verizon Curve, as the early model 8300 Curves worked only on AT&T and/or T-Mobile, while the 8350i is on Sprint but not Verizon. So if you want an 8300-series Blackberry Curve to use on Verizon, the 8330 is your only option. The Blackberry Curve 8330 also adds CDMA and Ev-DO network support to the 8300 series. A trade-off that you make with the Blackberry Curve 8330, however, is in battery life, as it can only hold a charge on standby for 11 days as opposed to the 17 days of standby time that the earlier model 8300 Blackberry Curves could muster. Regardless, the talk time capacity on the Blackberry Curve 8330 remains the same as on all the other 8300s, holding steady at up to 4 hours.
