BlackBerry Curve hands-on by... John Mayer? - Engadget:
"When he isn't designing clothing lines, contemplating how awesome it is that he's dating Jessica Simpson, and picking up Grammys -- oh, and writing / playing his own music -- John Mayer apparently moonlights as a gadget blogger.
His latest entry on his blog has a very short hands-on with the new BlackBerry Curve, which consists of a photo of the front and back of the device, and a single photograph taken on the phone's 2 megapixel cam. (He even manages to throw in a pun and a lyrics reference into the 30 odd word description!) The only other tidbit that we can skim from the blog entry is the fact that advance units are out in the wild, and that our own Paul Miller (who is widely credited as the first to combine the arts of gadget blogging and writing songs) has some serious competition on his hands."

AT&T to launch red BlackBerry Curve 8310?
AT&T to launch red BlackBerry Curve 8310?: "Although you can’t say that from the image on the right, AT&T is reportedly preparing to launch the BlackBerry Curve 8310 in red. Again and again we see both carriers and handset makers releasing their handsets in multiple colors to appeal to both sexes and different styles.
Hack, we’ve even seen T-Mobile releasing BlackBerry Pearl in slew of colors to choose from. And my thinking is - why not — after all, RIM wants to push the Pearl and the Curve to both business and individual users. If it’s the color that helps them do that — it’s a neat and not-that-expensive move. And no, we don’t know the exact date when we’ll see the red Curve hitting the AT&T stores"

adoption curve dot net » Post Topic » Hacking the Blackberry for GTD: "Although the latest iteration of the Blackberry software does support categories, it’s not perfect - particularly if you’re trying to follow the GTD processes. Here’s a quick hack that works around the limitiations to an extent. The problem arises because the default task view on the Blackberry is alphabetical - there’s no way to group tasks into contexts as you would be able to in Outlook etc.
If you’ve got a huge list of tasks - and if you’re GTD-ing you will have - it means that you’ll get a screenfull of tasks beginning with a to c, and everything else is scrolled off the bottom. I
t is possible to filter the display by category, but that takes a minimum of four clicks and a lot of scrolling, which offends against the whole hair-trigger nature of GTD (or at least it offends against my hair-trigger nature when it comes to using devices like a Blackberry. It’s supposed to be simple, dammit.) The hack is to prefix each task name with the initial letter of the category - ‘A’ for agenda tasks, ‘C’ for calls & emails and so on.
It does assume that you’ve only got 26 categories and they each start with a different letter of the alphabet, but hey, I did say that this was a hack, didn’t I?"

BlackBerry Curve Review - 3G | Daily Phone Themes, Reviews & News
BlackBerry Curve Review - 3G Daily Phone Themes, Reviews & News: "BlackBerry Curve Review - 3G, “The Pearl was the first BlackBerry to sport a camera, but its 1.3-megapixel lens felt timid in today’s camera phone climate.
The Curve ups the ante to two megapixels, but again, even this falls short of our expectations. While it may lack auto-focus and a Xenon flash (it does pack a crude LED light), it still takes decent enough snaps in a 1600×1200-pixel resolution. 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.”"
