OMFG, It's Finally the Blackberry I Want

Via I’m-not-sure-which-gadget-blog, the Blackberry 8300 aka ‘Curve’:

A large improvement indeed over my trusty 7290. Thinner, faster, 2 megapixel camera, MP3 player, finally sized to fit in a pocket instead of the geek holster.

I’ve been waiting for this, particularly the form factor plus camera. Nearly jumped on the 8100 ‘Pearl’. However, I’m glad I waited, because I really like a full QWERTY keyboard.

It’s not out yet on T-mobile, and the iPhone is due this summer too, along with the a-bit-thick Helio Ocean, so we’ll see what I end up with. It’ll be really cool to have email + camera + phone, that’s for sure. Finally, I’ll be able to blog like Chuck.

One way or the other, just like the song says.
