Blackberry Curve 8830 Smart Phone World Edition Vs. LG Dare and Apple Iphone

Best All-Around Phone

Marilisa Kinney Sachteleben
Blackberry Curve 8830 World Edition or LG Dare and Apple Iphone? No doubt about it, Blackberry wins, hands down. Compare price, availability, sheer magnitude of features, multi-use functionality, design and versatility and Blackberry is not only the best choice it's the only choice. Unless of course, you're a do-nothing, go-nowhere person with absolutely zero life., who has nothing better to do than change your phone's skin or face plate. Then you may prefer the Dare or the Iphone.

But if want to get the most bang for your buck, then take a look at the Blackberry Curve. The Curve is a GPS, international information system, SMS, MMS, Wi-Fi portable office, sound studio, camera, camcorder, bluetooth, VoIP, WLAN and and telephonic device all crammed into one little handful.

The Blackberry Curve is the phone for college students, travelers, educators, business people, salespersons, consumer, mother, executives, doctors, lawyers, merchants, chiefs, mechanics, bus drivers, anyone who needs to get information fast.

Do the math. One Blackberry takes the place of about ten assorted devices. Blackberry Curve is a:

mobile phone
Ipod
digital camera
camcorder
palm pilot
laptop
On-Star or GPS
internet browser
VoIP phone
WLAN device
USB storage device
Franklin Planner
SMS and MMS device
trackball controller
blue-tooth
walkie-talkie
CB radio
and keyboard

all in one package. Now, you can spend a couple hundred for the Blackberry or several thousand for all these other devices.

And line the Blackberry up against other 'Smart' Phones. For a comparable price, you can do all the stuff listed above on your Blackberry; seems like all you can do with the Iphone and Dare is to talk, read your email and listen to tunes. Take that touch pad business of Apple's; not very bright when you consider that all touchpad technology wears out long before button technology. These tiny intricate screens are covered by a thin piece of cheap plastic that breaks easily. And what about people with slightly larger fingers? It is almost impossible for a person with small hands to use the touchpad keyboard and dial pad accurately, let alone someone who's one finger covers two or three buttons. Or how about the difficulty caused by just trying to see or read a touchpad?

If you actually do things with your life, then clearly, the Blackberry Curve 8330 World Edition is the phone is for you.

    horrible review, it is very clear that you are a blackberry owner and fanboy. I have owned the dare for 2 years now and it has done everything i need it to do. The blackberry on the other hand cannot stay on for more than half a day without being charged. Lets not even bring the iphone into this as it makes the blackberry seem like a cavemans phone. I tried a BB phone ( the curve) for one week and i was ready to destroy that P.O.S

    Completely wrong, you purposely left out the features that the LG Dare and iPhone has just to make the Blackberry Curve seem like a better choice. I strongly believe people would like you to revise this review with the correct, unbiased information.

    I definetley agree. I own an awesome LG Dare. It is the best thing that has come into my life ever since my wife left me. You stupid, stupid maniac!

    this is a horrible review! totally biased.
    you clearly prefer the blackberry but dont list anything the iphone or dare can do.. even though all the phones have many similar features.

    A lot of the things you listed the Dare does as well. This is not a very good review of this comparison.
