The Difference Between The Curve And The Bold

Comparing the BlackBerry Bold and Curve phones can be a difficult and mind-boggling task depending on the particular features or models one is looking into. The BlackBerry Bold and Curve phones have features that are very similar, or quite different, depending on the models used for comparison.

General features-

The BlackBerry Bold almost always stands out when comparing its features with those of the BlackBerry Curve. This is because Bold smartphones come with more features than Curve phones. For instance, Bold cameras have higher megapixels and greater internal memory than that of most Curve phones. A number of Curve phones have a 256MB internal memory and 2-megapixel camera unlike Bold phones with a 512MB internal memory and 5-megapixel camera. Bold models can also be connected to 2G and 3G networks while most Curve models connect to 2G networks.

User interface-

BlackBerry has set a high standard for the user interface in all their models. All BlackBerry phones have a similar user interface and they almost have parallel user accessibility, especially the BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Curve models. Essentially, the BlackBerry’s user interface is based on the general features of a specific model and accessibility to the shortcut keys, which are always located on the sides of these smartphones. One can access the icons easily by just pressing the menu button. Some icons in the BlackBerry Bold vary from those of the BlackBerry Curve and could be positioned at different points on the phones. Nevertheless, these icons are known to serve the same purpose. 

Design-

The majority of BlackBerry Bold and Curve phones have a comparable appearance and design. One might even find it hard to point out the difference in some Bold and Curve models as they are so much alike in their style and look. But all the same, these two smartphones models have some unique points that one can pinpoint. For instance, the BlackBerry Bold QWERTY keyboard keys tend be in one line and flat, whereas those of the BlackBerry Curve appear raised. The Curve 3G and the Curve 8500 models are perfect models of raised keys of Curve keypads that enables a user to play, fast forward and rewind a media player without visiting the media center. So far, none of the BlackBerry Bold models have this design.
