Quick note before getting to the meat of this post. Yes, there are rumors out there as to the BlackBerry Bold price and release date. They might be true, they might not. But, as we learned with the Curve debacle, it is best to wait for a real announcement, as to not get everyone in a tizzy wondering when the device will be released.

Anyway, now onto a story I saw at Mobility Site. He recounts a party he attended where a shockingly large number of people were using the BlackBerry Curve. They all had their reasons, even though a number of Windows Mobile phone support superior features — more third party apps, WiFi, 3G speeds.

Before I left for WES, I stopped by my Verizon retailer to play with the Curve for a bit. Like many of the people Mobility Site encountered, I was in love with the form. You can hold the Curve in one hand and navigate with ease. It just feels smaller.

But a quick physical check proved that wrong. My 8830 isn’t much wider than the Curve. And it appeared, though I could have been botching the test a bit, that the Curve was actually a bit thicker. The 8830, of course, is a bit taller.

I guess it’s just something about the way the device fits in your hand. I noticed the same kind of ergonomics in the Bold, too. So it appears RIM might have figured something out as far as forms go.
