The original curve series started from Blackberry 8300 series of models. They have reached considerable popularity based on style, features, and reliability. The Blackberry Curve 8300 is such a big improvement from its predecessors ‘“ the 8100 and 8800 — that it is considered on a different league and comparing is futile.
