Reviewers Didn't Like

  • The RIM BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 is not too different from its predecessors, and remains a fairly basic smartphone
  • Display is lowres for a smartphone, Battery life could be better
  • Low resolution screen, poor web browser, mediocre camera, dated operating system, soso call quality
  • Sluggish at times, Substandard camera, Touted as a 3G device, but really doesn't take advantage of 3G network in any way
  • Low resolution display and camera
  • Almost identical to its predecessor save for a few changes; poor photo quality
  • Third-party app catalog still lags. Low-res camera
  • BlackBerry OS 5 is old; BlackBerry 6 may be too slow, App World still not as good as rival shops, Poor camera, Not necessarily a better value
  • Despite supporting HSDPA and Wi-Fi, the video streaming process was very stop startLook and Feel
