The BlackBerry Curve has EDGE, which is pretty good, but it does not compare to the Dash's support for Wi-Fi as well as EDGE. If only it had HSDPA support...

The Curve's lack of Wi-Fi places it behind its competitor.

There's no competition here. The lack of Wi-Fi puts the BlackBerry Curve behind the Dash.

The Dash's built-in WiFi makes it the winner of this category hands down. As long as you can find an available hot spot, you can skip off the grid and surf to your heart's content.

We always love a smart phone with Wi-Fi, so I have to give the Dash the edge in this round.

Both the Curve and Dash allow for Web browsing via its respective carrier's EDGE networks, but the Dash's integrated Wi-Fi gives you more freedom in your choices for connectivity.
