Round 4: Multimedia

Smart phones want to have fun, too

RIM BlackBerry Curve

Smart phones aren't just about work. In this round, we compare the quality of the multimedia and entertainment features of the mobiles.

Players	Nicole	Kent	Bonnie	Total
RIM BlackBerry Curve	4 The Curve has excellent multimedia options, like a 2.0-megapixel camera that produces sharp images and an MP3 player with pretty good sound quality.	4 I have to give it to the Curve in this round due to its support for AT&T Music, the music ID application, and the snazzy video player. With a 2-megapixel camera, the Curve took slightly better photos.	3 Even though the Curve has a better camera, it doesn't record video, so I have to knock it for that issue. Also, I think the media player isn't quite as robust as the Dash.	11
T-Mobile Dash	3 The Dash fails just a little bit on the multimedia front with a 1.3-megapixel camera and washed-out images.	3 Though the Dash has a Real Media Player, it doesn't quite measure up to the Curve's media prowess. Also, as noted above, its camera quality wasn't quite as good.	4 It's true that the T-Mobile Dash took some poor pictures, but to me, the music and video playback are more important. The Dash has a more refined player, and it's compatible with SlingPlayer Mobile.	10
