Developed by Research In Motion, a Canadian wireless equipment manufacturer and telecommunication service provider. This particular device was used for work purposes by an employee of the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation. The BlackBerry Curve 8330 is part of a series of entry level, “consumer-oriented” smartphones.

Function

To compose and receive radio message in text form and to act as a radiotelephone.

Technical

The Blackberry Curve 8330 is part of a series of 5 variants (8300, 8310, 8320, 8330, and 8350i) that introduced the BlackBerry Curve brand to the market. The 8330 was the first Curve to operate on CDMA, and featured upgraded memory (to the 8320), GPS, as well as video recording. The original BlackBerry design used a scroll wheel mounted on the right side of phone for system navigation. With the BlackBerry Pearl 8100, the trackwheel was replaced by the trackball which allowed for four way scrolling. This BlackBerry 8330 has a trackball, which was a design feature that was replaced by the optical trackpad which was introduced with the Curve 8500 series in 2009.
