AT&T already has a blackbery with 3G its called the BOLD. This would be my guess on why they decided to not have 3G on this one. Plus if they added 3G to the curve it would drive the price up on the handset
It still makes no sense. A subscriber of buisness orientation should have a choice of which BB device they choose to conduct everyday business. Most BB devices have been directed towrds busness appications and the popularity of 3G is a crucial selling point of any PDA or smartphone device. IMO, The lack of 3G does not placate the considerations of accessing data by Business people. Even some basic devices(dumbphones) access 3G!
Good job there AT&T. Enjoy your iPhone exclusivity. As soon as it's gone, you're done.
the blackberry Curve is marketed as the "poor man's" blackberry, it offers less features for a more economical solution... the iPhone has nothing to do with the Blackberry Curve... TROLL

as a woman you don't get a say in any of this!
Of course you are joking correct?
Simply because AT&T still decides to offer cheap alternatives to more pricey 3G handsets has no relevance to owning the fastest 3G network. That fact still remains true...so why not tout it?
Most consumers do not use Blackberries for what they are designed for. They incorrectly believe that since they have the QWERTY keyboard they are 'texting' phones. Not so. They are designed from day one as organizers and for the email. Consumers who have Blackberries have a remarkably low attach rate for the BB feature, and most of those that do have the feature only did so because it was required for the rebate and then likely forgot it was on there.
Consumers and business alike do not truly utilize the web effectively on most phones. Whether they are...

You shouldn't tout the fastest 3G network and then offer a popular buisness device without it! It makes no sense and I for one would be a very disappointed subscriber over this offering. If Blackberry had any say in this, then shame on them as well.
No reason to put 3G in this device. If you do, AT&T has less of a reason to offer it because it approaches what a Bold is.
Heavy web surfers will hate this phone, but they should be looking at a Bold anyway if they do. You really don't need 3G to connect to BES and BIS
