RIM announces new BlackBerry Curve

RIM's just released a new fix for all of the CrackBerry addicts out there: the new BlackBerry 8300 "Curve." A far cry from the boring black device of prior generations, the new edition has the same QWERTY keyboard but now a sleek silver face and rounded edges that RIM hopes will make the device more appealing to mobile hipsters.

The upgrades go well beyond aesthetics, including a 2 megapixel camera with 5x zoom; a media player and 3.5mm headphone jack; and a microSD card slot. Noticeable absences include a lack of Wi-Fi and 3G support and no video recording capability in the digicam.

Still, reviewers around the Web are giving it their thumbs-up as one of the best all-around smartphones for both business and pleasure. Are they right? You tell me at techtreks@gmail.com.
