The Curve is just as slim as the Pearl (0.6 inches), and at 3.9 ounces it's only 0.7 ounces heavier. The 2.5-inch, 320 x 240-pixel display did a superb job rendering everything from Web pages and maps to photos and videos. The Curve's 2-MP camera takes pictures good enough for 4 x 6-inch prints. Media playback on the Curve was generally smooth, and the device supports a wide range of audio (AAC, MP3, WMA) and video (MPEG-4, H.263, WMV) files natively. The device's speaker puts out a decent amount of volume, but we highly recommend pairing this smart phone with a Bluetooth stereo headset. Curve lets you view Word, Excel, PDF, and JPEG attachments. The Curve's biggest competition isn't other BlackBerrys but the Samsung BlackJack.
