The BlackBerry Curve is meant to strike a balance between the more consumer-oriented Pearl, and the all-business BlackBerry 8800.

In terms of size, the Curve falls neatly between the larger 8800 and the more narrow Pearl.

The screen on the Curve is a nice 2.5-inch, QVGA display. The skinny BlackBerry font looks clean, very legible, and a little mechanical, but makes for easy reading.
