I have had mobile phones in the past ranging from Nokia's, Sony Ericson Walkman (which I loved) and many more. That was until my husband got me a Blackberry 8310 many years ago now to mainly use... more

    Being a firm convert to the BlackBerry smartphone revolution I am lucky enough to receive courtesy of my employer an upgrade each year. The last twelve months have seen me dazzled and impressed with the BlackBerry Pearl, a device I didn't think it was possible to make any better as it was small, compact, jam packed full of useful tools and software and incorporated a digital camera along with lots of other functional tools. It was with heavy heart that I was informed over a month ago of our IT departments intention to replace any Pearl models with the Curve 8310. This was an upgrade I neither ... more

    I have had mobile phones in the past ranging from Nokia's, Sony Ericson Walkman (which I loved) and many more. That was until my husband got me a Blackberry 8310 many years ago now to mainly use alongside my business and for personal use. I remember he said to me, once you get used to this you will never go back to a normal mobile phone again, and those words are so true to me even to this day. Apparently when Blackberry first introduced their smart phones to the market they all had a blue cover and it soon got round that Blackberry's new nickname was to be called Blueberry, Blackberry soon ... more

    5 Stars Blackberry Curve 8310 - A Real Smoothie! 24/01/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, excellent features, very simple layout, good design, durable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery problems, not easily customised

    Blackberry handsets have grown in popularity to become the "must-have" businessman's gadget. The Blackberry device is particularly useful, because it combines a conventional mobile phone with facilities such as email on the move, Internet browsing and the functionality to synchronise with PC-based applications such as Microsoft Outlook. I'd have to be honest and say that I'd be lost without mine, which I use as a personal organiser, as well as a means to catch up and keep in touch. Blackberry handsets are available on all the major networks, but the range of handsets differs according to which ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great phone

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    So bear with me as this is my first stab at writing a technology review but I received a new Blackberry for work a few weeks ago and I'm really pleased with it so I though I would write a review on it. The model in question is the Blackberry Curve 8310 Smartphone. I got mine free but with price plans available with the different service providers it can be anywhere up to £200 I believe. The first thing I noticed about the phone (which is what made me choose it and as you can probably tell that I'm not very technologically minded!) is that it looks good. The phone has a lovely metallic finish ... more

    More than just a phone…… Being a long reliable customer of Nokia handsets, and even working with a few Samsung handsets my trust confidence and life now revolves around a blackberry smart phone…well at least my office life does. After my Nokia N71 crashed into a software spiral and it didn't look as if the trust N series phone was going to get out of the whirlpool its stuck in and I had to make a plan very quickly, luckily all the things that I own is insured and I phoned the service provider got the insurance claim form, filled it in, and sent it back, within 10 minutes they phoned me back ... more
