That same month, we took a look at the BlackBerry 7130g– a slimmer smartphone with it’s QWERTY keyboard jammed into fewer keys. Our reviewer praised BlackBerry (then RIM) for designing a phone that looked more sleek and stylish than previous BlackBerry handsets. Though, he also noted that it wouldn’t win any beauty contests compared with the Motoro...
A year later, BlackBerry released the Pearlin an attempt to move away from its reputation as a business smartphone. Like the 7130g, the Pearl lacked the full QWERTY keyboard found on wider BlackBerry phones, with the company opting to use its SureType predictive typing system to keep the design slim. The Pearl gained its namesake from the rollerbal...

The Pearl also had a better camera and was capable of recording vid...

The next three phones we reviewed from BlackBerry all received 4 stars, marking a slight dip in its 4.5 star streak. But still, none strayed into 3 or even 3.5 star territory as the brand continued to grow in popularity and introduce more lines. The BlackBerry Stormwas perhaps the most highly anticipated of these as this was the first BlackBerry wi...
The BlackBerry Curve 8900was an update to the Curve line that looked physically similar to its predecessors but with a handful of improvements, including a slimmer design, a sleeker finish, a silent mode switch and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Still no 3G, though. What the reviewer said: “The Curve 8900 is a worthy successor to the previous models in RI...
BlackBerry also launched the Curve 8520in 2009, offering the excellent email features BlackBerry was known for, along with a long battery life and a simple interface for less money than many flagship phones cost at the time. What the reviewer said: “The BlackBerry Curve 8250 is certainly a little light on features, with 3G and GPS the most serious ...
After a disappointing blip with the BlackBerry Storm 2, BlackBerry released another 4.5 star Bold, the BlackBerry Bold 9700. The Bold 9700 was a welcome update to the Bold line a year after the first. BlackBerry reduced its divisive faux leather back to a small patch and shrunk the phone down in size.
