RIM announced the availability of the much-anticipated Blackberry Curve 8900 smartphone in India.
The smaller sibling of the Bold, the Curve borrows from its classy design cues and offers users a host of features in a compact frame. The only thing some users might miss out is the option to go 3G. However, this might not be a major concern here in India, thanks to our lack of 3G coverage. The lack of the 3G chip could also mean a considerably lower price than the Bold or even the Storm (which incidentally does not have WiFi!)
The handset seems perfect for the businessman on the move. As for the design, you cannot but notice the chrome strip at the bottom and wonder if folks at Nokia were impressed with this so much that they decided to give a similar treatment to the E71.
