Negative sentences
The Web browser isn't the sleekest, and the camera lacks video-recording capabilities.
The BlackJack's 3G data connection is only a moderate advantage because of Windows Mobile's slower browser, but its built-in camcorder and support for Cingular Video are definite pluses.
While navigation is improved with the trackball, the Curve's web browser is still the all-too-frustrating BlackBerry browser that most people fear and revile.

If you can overlook the poor web browser, lack of video camera, and horrible location of the microSD slot, the Curve might still be one of the best smartphones currently on the market.
Camera lacks video capability

My only complaint is the camera is not quick as responsive as I had hoped.
Connectivity is lacking - no 3G and no Wi-Fi.
I have been trying to connect my blackberry curve to my Macbook pro to use it as my modemo but i have had many negative results, I live in Mexico and my carrier is Telcel I was hoping that somebody could help me.
Using EDGE, the speed was much slower.
GPRS speeds are just about sufficient (web page loading was sluggish), but the Curve could have been elevated in our estimation if 3G and Wi-Fi connections were present.
Sadly, like the Pearl, the camera lacks a video-recording facility, which is disappointing considering it promotes video playback (MPEG4, WMV and H. 263 formats are supported) in multimedia mode.
One key hurdle for widening the audience for the BlackBerry has been its price, as a fully-loaded smartphone with wireless e-mail capability is much more expensive than most cellphones available on the market today.
Poor web browser software
I went through 6 batteries before I gave up. Extremely bad battery life.
