    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages wireless email, phone, calendar, diary, camera, maps, easy to personalise

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can cost up to £300 when bought alone

    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

    4 Stars Do you want to play with my Blackberry? 18/01/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Wireless email on the go, call quality, calendar, diary, notes, camera, maps, full QWERTY keyboard

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Tracker ball goes wrong,phone doesn't switch on straight away when pressed,beeps no email there

    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

    5 Stars Blackberry Curve 8310 12/09/2008
    User recommends the product

    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

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages user friendly, great visauls and great durability

    Disadvantages Disadvantages bit expencive

    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

    4 Stars Blackberry is sweet but has a thorny underside 17/09/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages small well made and functional

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not easy to use.

    The old Blackberry device was getting a pain. It was too big and I still had a Nokia phone to carry as well, so whilst it was great to have e-mails at my finger tips there was the inconvenience of 2 items and the worry of remembering both items and carrying them round. Along comes the Curve and I dispose of the phone and use just this one sexy and convenient tool. Its look is sleek and shiney and it makes you want to hold it. Its shape is decribed in its name. Its curved shape means it fits in the palm of your hand and it is slim as well and fits easily in my shirt pocket. Battery life is very ... more

    3 Stars Blackberry curve 8320 29/07/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages good qwerty board and cursor

    Disadvantages Disadvantages rubbish camera, doesnt have wifi

    i recently got the blackberry curve 8320 as a replacement phone from cex, i am quite pleased with it, the cursor is really nice to move around the phone with, and the qwerty keyboard is really good and easy to use, i can send texts with it very fastly. this phone would be great if you have unlimited internet in your contract because it has a facebook app already on the phone and loads of applications ready to download. i say if you have unlimited internet because it doesnt have wifi, which is why i am going to sell this phone and maybe get another blackberry that does have wifi. what i did ... more

    5 Stars I just got a Blackberry Curve - & I'd recommend it to anyone! 16/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages QWERTY keyboard, e-mail, internet

    Disadvantages Disadvantages size, because it is larger than the mini phones you see around, however it is still very sexy

    I just got this phone on Monday and I have never had a better phone! Pros: 1) It is a smartphone, and therefore has many many applications. On some phones I would deem these as unnecesary but I can actually see myself using some of these. E.g. Maps, Wi-fi, Voice notes to go, Password keeper and of course Blackberry Messenger (I will talk more on this in a moment). It is also very beautiful for a smartphone, it is slim and has an easy to use QWERTY keyboard. 2) Installing the disk onto my computer was very easy, and now I can link information between my computer and phone very simply. My last ... more

    4 Stars Blackberry Curve 8310 - My First Smart Phone 24/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages emails alerts, send and receive email, chat via Yahoo Messenger, Facebook, Blackberry Messenger

    Disadvantages Disadvantages difficult menu for first smart phone user

    I got this Blackberry 8310 as a present a couple months ago. At first, I’m not interested in using such a complicated phone and I feel difficult to adjust from regular cell phone to this smart phone. But after reading the manuals and learning by doing, I find this blackberry 8310 is very helpful and interesting. Besides the usual features/ menus that we can find in ordinary cell phone, there are many useful features include in this Blackberry Phone; I really love to know that for checking emails I don’t have to go to internet café whenever I don’t have access to my office or home computer. I ... more

    5 Stars Great phone...8310 curve!!! 28/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages compact, usability

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    This I believe is one of the best phone out on the market at the moment, with numerous features which makes it well worth having for business and personal use. I bought this phone on a contract with T-mobile, 35 pounds per month, with unlimited web browsing and unlimited email use. The email application was very easy to use, with instruction very simple. All in all it took me roughly 5 minutes to set the email up, and within 10 minutes I was receiving emails from my work account. The internet, for a phone, is fantastic, with all pages easily viewable, and is great when you need to search for ... more
