The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 brings the same great design of its GSM counterparts and even adds 3G to boot. The Curve 8330 has integrated GPS so you can use it with Sprint Navigation or some other mobile mapping application to get driving directions and local search right on your smartphone.

The good: The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 offers integrated GPS, Bluetooth 2.0, and EV-DO. The compact smartphone continues to offer solid messaging capabilities and includes support for a number of features that the Verizon model does not.

The bad: The BlackBerry Curve 8330 lacks Wi-Fi, and call quality wasn’t the greatest.

The bottom line: Despite some spotty call quality, the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 for Sprint is a great messaging device with the bonus of EV-DO and integrated GPS. Plus, it offers more services than the Verizon BlackBerry Curve.

Price: Starting at $179.99.
