MobileBurn have published a review of the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8300 smartphone. 'RIM's BlackBerry Curve 8300 is a full QWERTY keyboard equipped device that is significantly more compact than the firm's 8800 series of devices. It is ever so slightly thicker than an 8800, but is both narrower and shorter, coming in at 111mm x 61mm x 16mm (4.4" x 2.4" x .63"). At 110g (3.9oz), it is also a full 24g lighter than an 8800. The Curve 8300's compact design seems to mesh with its QVGA display far better than do the larger 8800 series devices, which use the same display. The display itself is generally bright and readable, even in direct sunlight. It even has an auto-brightness mode that boosts the backlight's power beyond its normal limit for when the phone is used in bright conditions.'
