The race to bring out the coolest smartphone continues with the introduction of RIM's BlackBerry Curve 8300, a small, high-style device that combines telephone, email and Internet connectivity with a full QWERTY keyboard, 2-megapixel camera, MP3 player, and more into a 3.9 once package. While the Curve may not cannibalize sales from the Blackberry 8800 in the enterprise market, it will probably be an attractive option for consumers attracted to the Pearl but put off by the stacked-symbol keyboard. Though RIM had service issues earlier in the Spring, the Blackberry and its siblings remain critical tools for the modern enterprise. The Curve 8300 will be available later this Spring at a price that hasn't yet been announced.
