The Camera Centre

If you want an affordable BlackBerry smartphone on pay as you go - with a fast 3G web connection and full QWERTY keypad - choose the BlackBerry Curve 9300.

Smarter social networking with the Curve 9300

The BlackBerry® Curve 9300 keeps you instantly connected to all the people that matter to you with BlackBerry Messenger. Save time and chat instantly with your friends (as long as they have a BlackBerry smartphone too). It's quick and easy - and you can even see when your messages have been delivered and read. And if you want to chat to more than one person at a time you can create groups of friends too - then easily send messages, share videos and more.

To do all this, you'll need to opt into the BlackBerry® Internet Service. This normally costs £5 and lasts for 30 days - but we're giving it to you for free until 30 June 2011.

Get your favourite networks
You're never far away from your friends and family with Facebook™ and Twitter on your BlackBerry® Curve 9300. These apps make sharing updates, pictures, tweets, video and links really easy.

To get these apps and lots more from BlackBerry App World, opt in to our TopUp and Get Text and Web Freebee If you top up £10, for example, you get 300 standard UK texts and 500MB of UK data to use over 30 days - all for free, so you can keep your £10 for calls.

Capture those special times
You also get a 3.2 megapixel camera on the Curve 9300. That's more powerful than the version on the previous Curve 8520 (which only has 2 megapixels). So you can take better photos to share with friends and family.

Find your way with GPS
Another feature on the Curve 9300 that you don't get with the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is GPS. It comes in handy when you're trying to find your way to a mate's birthday celebration in a restaurant you've never visited before.

3G - for faster web and email
Unlike the BlackBerry Curve 8520 and BlackBerry Curve 8900, the Curve 9300 gives you the benefit of a superfast 3G connection. As this'll let you browse the web and get emails so quickly, you won't notice the difference in speed between your phone and your PC.

Go straight to your music and websites

There are dedicated media keys on the top of the BlackBerry Curve 9300 that make it a piece of cake to find your favourite tunes - or change tracks while you're on the move. You won't find them on the BlackBerry Bold 9700, by the way.

You'll also be able to fly through websites and menus on the Curve 9300 - thanks to its new, updated touch-sensitive trackpad. It's similar to the ones you get on the BlackBerry Bold 9700 or BlackBerry Curve 8520

The Curve 9300 - great to look at and use
Like the Curve 8520, the BlackBerry Curve 9300 has a slight rubber finish - so it won't slip out of your hand if you're using it while weaving along a busy street in rush hour.

The Curve 9300 also comes in either a silver or red finish (the red colour is exclusive to Vodafone for a limited time). That means you can choose the one that suits you best
