The four distinctively BlackBerry buttons (Call, End, Back and Menu) above the keyboard are again flush to the chassis, but lack vertical dividers. The Curve 3G's chassis has a slate silver plastic surround, replacing the black of the earlier handset. The design of the two handsets is very similar. These are the same dimensions as the year-old Curve 8520 with a couple of grams shaved off the weight. The Curve 3G measures 60mm wide by 109mm deep by 13.9mm thick and weighs 104g. It's this shaping that helps distinguish Curve handsets from their higher-end Bold cousins. The BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 shares the distinctive look of its predecessor, including an upwardly curving mini-QWERTY keypad.
