The New Blackberry Curve is a SmartPhone that should be able to compete with others in its’ class, including the venerable Blackjack. At stake is the reputation for the being the mobile phone that best handles e-mail, as well as a few other key bragging rights. Here’s someone who thinks that the Blackberry beats the Blackjack.

To be fair, probably not every glitch when launching a program or requesting a Web page is a Microsoft issue, but until another culprit is found, Windows Mobile 5 will have to take the blame.

Overall, the BlackBerry 8800 performs better than the BlackJack. During the few weeks of testing both phones, it was the BlackBerry 8800 that got used the most. (Blame the famously addictive BlackBerry email service that keeps you from putting it down more often.)

It also didn’t help that the BlackJack was prone to poorly timed seizures and the limitations of a wimpy battery.

Both phones pack a lot of features and utility, but it’s the BlackBerry 8800 that earns the title of champ.


Well, that’s an interesting opinion. Do you share it or have a different one?
