There are dozens of BlackBerry smartphones available today. But just because they're all called BlackBerry phones, that doesn't mean they're all created equal. So, which BlackBerry phones can be called today's best devices? Here are the phones that top my list.
1. BlackBerry Bold 9700
T-Mobile
There are a lot of BlackBerry smartphones on the market, but only one can be the best. And, right now, the best BlackBerry smartphone is the Bold 9700. It's sleek and attractive. It's small, but the keyboard and display are just big enough. It offers Wi-Fi support -- something too many BlackBerry phones still lack. It's affordable, and it's available from two different carriers: AT&T and T-Mobile.
2. BlackBerry Tour 9630
RIM
There's a lot to like about the BlackBerry Tour 9630 smartphone. It has a gorgeous display, a sleek design, excellent e-mail handling, and offers voice and data service both inside the U.S. and outside the country. In fact, the BlackBerry Tour really has just one major flaw: a lack of Wi-Fi support.
3. BlackBerry Curve 8900
RIM
RIM's BlackBerry Curve smartphones have long been among my favorite devices. They offer the excellent e-mail handling that BlackBerry phones are known for, but in a sleek, curved device that's appealing to consumers. And few Curves are more appealing than the 8900: it features a slim design, an excellent camera, and an absolutely gorgeous screen.
4. BlackBerry Storm2 9550
RIM
When the original BlackBerry Storm debuted, the phone was not well received. Many critics maligned its unique clickable touchscreen, and disdain for its lack of Wi-Fi support was nearly universal. RIM took these criticisms to heart, and released the new and improved BlackBerry Storm2. Finally, it's a touch-screen BlackBerry smartphone that makes sense.
5. BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230
RIM
You don't have to give up all the advanced features of a smartphone to get a device with the convenient flip phone design. Take the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230, for example. The Pearl Flip packs the best features of a BlackBerry phone -- including its excellent e-mail handling -- into a small, sleek handset that flips open and closed.
6. BlackBerry Curve 8520
T-Mobile
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is a top-notch BlackBerry smartphone that won't break the bank. While this budget-friendly BlackBerry does cut some corners (you won't find GPS or 3G support on this smartphone), you still get top-notch messaging and access to BlackBerry App World, where you can find plenty of apps to download.
