The phone is very similar to the T-mobile version of the same phone.
The RIM BlackBerry Curve 3G 9for Verizon Wireless has the usual BlackBerry features of course.
It also has a very nice QWERTY keyboard underneath here.
It has the usual optical trackpad in the middle, which we just found very easy to use and very intuitive.
You also get the usual send and end/power keys as well as the main menu key and the clear key.
On the side key, you do get the charging pod as well as the voice dialing key.
On the top, you do get very useful external media keys.
On the side key, you do get the volume rocker as well as the camera key.
