The battle of the smart data mobile phones has never been tougher, especially when two different phone companies share internet-ready mobile phones which are made by the same manufacturer but have different styles, this is the case of Verizon’s Blackberry Curve vs the Sprint Blackberry Curve version.

If you have ever had the chance of comparing these two devices side by side you will notice that they are physically similar, however there are some key differences, Verizon’s version sports a gray finish and Sprint’s uses a sleek black finish which seems to appeal to most people. This type of phones attract customers who are used to checking their email messages, their stock quotes and favorite sites on a daily basis, users who do not access the web and email applications that much would be better off with another mobile phone model.

The first thing you notice about these devices is how different they look, with the Sprint version sporting a darker titanium finish and the Verizon version going with the more conservative liquid-silver aesthetic.

The Blackberry Curve sold by Sprint sports a darker titanium finish and Verizon’s version uses a conservative liquid silver look, recent polls and blog feedback have shown that people seem to prefer the Sprint version when it comes to looks. The way the icons are arranged when a user turns on the device is also a difference between the two and again Sprint’s version comes on top. Verizon’s icon arrangement is more traditional, Sprint’s icons seem to be more animated and placed vertically on the left hand side of the screen.

The backgrounds and images can be customized on both so if you decide to go with Verizon you won’t be stuck with just one default background or animation type, however Sprint’s version of the Blackberry Curve seem to aim a younger audience who are attracted to neat graphics and style.

A major improvement seen in the Blackberry Curve (for both carriers) is that there are two new applications installed which allow users to record video as well as audio notes to its memory or to the removable microSD card. Both models are GPS ready and have EV-DO connectivity along with a 3.5mm audio jack. The web browser font size has also been modified for easy to read messages.

As always the one with the last word is the consumer, who must decide between stylish looks and the benefits of the network they are signing up for, besides the service is all a matter of tastes and personal preferences.
