The BlackBerry Curve makes it to the top beating the iPhone 3G!  The BlackBerry Curve which comes as the 8300, 8310, 8320, 8330, & 8350i is among the most popular BlackBerry models in the world.  Its size, and amazing features make it very appetizing to the hungry BlackBerry-less customer.  Now we see the BlackBerry Curve beating not only its other BlackBerry siblings, but the Apple iPhone as well!

The top 5 goes as following:

  • RIM BlackBerry Curve (all 83XX models)
  • Apple iPhone 3G (all models)
  • RIM BlackBerry Storm
  • RIM BlackBerry Pearl (all models, except flip)
  • T-Mobile G1

So how does a company like Research in Motion get 3 of their devices in the top 5?  The answer is marketing. If you can recall, Verizon ran a promotion from February 6th- March 31st giving their customers a “buy 1 BlackBerry, get 1 free” deal.  The deal went very well, and was not expected to outweigh the iPhone this much.  Any BlackBerry you desired including the Pearl, Curve, & Storm were all buy 1 get 1 free for that whole month and change.  The BlackBerry Curve came out to be among the most favored choices as you can see.  It is available foor 4 nationwide carriers and the specs on it are very fair.  A new BlackBerry user primarily would pick the Curve over any other by instinct, only because of the easy QWERTY keyboard, and the fashionable size of the device.
