BlackBerry Curve

The BlackBerry Curve was a brand of entry-level and mid-range smartphones that were manufactured by Research in Motion from 2007 until 2013.

The Curve lineup improves upon the BlackBerry Pearl as BlackBerry's consumer oriented devices and is positioned below the BlackBerry Bold. The Curve had plastic and glossy materials compared to the metal and leather in the Bold lineup, and has a different keyboard design, where the individual buttons are more rounded and spaced, reminiscent of the earlier BlackBerry phones and the original two-way pager. There were two basic form factors within the Curve line: the original, thicker form factor on the 8900, 8500 and 9300 series, and the slimmer form factor of the 9350 and 9380 model. The 9380 is the first and only Curve with a touchscreen.
