Quintessential smartphone

bythegsrguy Sep 29, 2007
20 Helpfuls 21 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Small and light, good battery life, great interface, decent camera, stylish
Cons Pricey, RF performance could be better, period key
Recommended it? Yes

Yes, BlackBerry devices have a negative connotation. If you own a BB, you more than likely are obsessed with it and are just perpetually e-mailing and surfing the Internet. It's associated with "middle management" and those annoying people in suits who are just glued to their PDAs.

Cons bigger than the pearl, Cannot record VIDEO, though it plays video files
Recommended it? Yes

I finally got this phone after I had the Pearl for about 6 months..... The pearl was excellent as a phone, but was lacking as an email portal.....

It all depends on what you think you want. originally I wanted a quality phone, with the ability to do some emails and internet. Thats exactly... Read full review »

A great alternative to the i Phone for business people

Pros If you use email buy the Curve and forget the i Phone.
Cons Battery life could be a little longer.
Recommended it? Yes

I've had five Black Berry devices over the past four plus years and the BB Curve 8310 is by far the best one. It is really a great alternative to the i Phone in that it boasts many of the features of the i Phone but KILLS it doing email. My wife has an i Phone and I've played with it extensively...

Pros Best Blackberry in History.
Cons slow web page scrolling from top to bottom.
Recommended it? Yes

FIRST IMPRESSION:

Wow this is a perfect phone, the buttons are easy to push and the menus are easy to navigate through. Personalization is pristine. If you want to change an operation of a button you can. If you want to sort something differently you can. If you need to tweak a display go... Read full review »

12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros So many features, it?s amazing!
Cons MicroSD slot behind battery.
Recommended it? Yes

Over the last several years, I've owned a Samsung i300, Palm Treo 650 and Treo 680 smart phones. I've also tried a couple Windows Mobile based phones, the last being the T-Mobile Dash. Unfortunately all of the previously mentioned phones never seemed to be stable enough for prolonged professional... Read full review »

Very good functionality with all the right options

byerinbarriere Dec 29, 2007
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros light weight, many applications to use, compact design
Cons no touch screen option for navigation
Recommended it? Yes

I just switched over from the Sprint Treo to this phone and after 2 weeks have finally gotten the knack for it. I use this for phone, email, calendar, texting, and internet browser on a very regular basis and have it tie back to both my work email accounts and my personal yahoo email account. I...

Pros Great email functions. Battery life rocks, compatibility with Outlook is seamless.
Cons File transfers only allowed with USB cable. No 3G version yet.
Recommended it? Yes

I love this phone. I used to have a Palm 750 and hated the battery life. A friend of mine got the new Blackberry 8300 and told me he could get 4 days w/o a charge. I traded immediately.

The phone is nice and compact. Its about 1/2 inch thick and maybe a little wider than the normal... Read full review »

Never thought I would own a blackberry, but now I can imagine not having one

bycamanche20850 Dec 14, 2007

Pros light weight, easy to use, full keyboard, configuration, camera
Cons SIM card hard to get to, not many themes, backgrounds, and games, documentation
Recommended it? Yes

I never thought I would like the ball on the keyboard, but I have quickly changed my mind. Its a lot easier to manipulate through the various options with just hand and not having to manipulate the wheel on the side makes the 8300 a choice everyone should consider. It is light weight, stylist, the... Read full review »

The Curve is Sexy

Pros The curves trackball is one of the most compelling features of this phone.
Cons $19.99 / month charge to add on the email package.
Recommended it? Yes

Price is nice, light weight, fits well in pocket. The trackball makes navigation easy. Great for gmail users because there is an application that makes email free and only takes a single click. Today, the iPhone gets all of the hype. This phone will do everything an iPhone will - mp3 player, phone,... Read full review »

Pros Easy navigation, small size, keyboard
Cons Volume control on ringer
Recommended it? Yes

I absolutely love this phone--extremely easy set up, effortless navigation, good finger feel when dialing and texting and a smaller size make for the most fantastic phone I have ever owned.
I own an Imac and it synched right up with my address book with the application of Pocketmac.com
