The **BlackBerry Curve 8300** is a series of BlackBerry smartphones developed by Research In Motion. Introduced in 2007, the Curve continued the "consumer-oriented" philosophy of the BlackBerry Pearl and 8800 series, including robust multimedia features and a high-resolution built-in camera.
As is customary for BlackBerry devices, the 8300 series consists of several models offered by different wireless providers, supporting that provider’s network along with specific services. The base **8300** model is a GSM/GPRS/EDGE handset, to which the **8310** adds GPS capability, while the **8320** excludes GPS but includes WiFi connectivity.
The **8330** instead operates on CDMA2000/EV-DO networks and includes GPS; the **8350i** operates on the iDEN network and includes GPS, WiFi, and push-to-talk functionality.
