Blackberry Curve 8310

...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 ...
...hardware. Incorporating the usual BlackBerry features of wireless email, personal organiser, contacts directory, digital camera, alarm and mobile telephone the Curve 8310 incorporates new and exciting features that were sadly lacking from earlier models, even the Pearl. Included within the basic software package, the Curve 8310 now has BlackBerry maps, the ability to store and play MP3 files and a more responsive speakerphone/voice activation unit. ...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

...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 ...
...is the smallest and lightest Blackberry ever to come with a full Qwerty keyboard. The fact that it has a qwerty keyboard also attracted me. My husband has the blackberry pearl which just has the numbers keyboard and I don't like the fact that you have to always look for the keys and see which number they are on. With this phone it's a mini keyboard which makes writing e-mails quick and efficient, a very handy tool for work as I often need to respond ...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

...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 ...
...was made up on the blackberry 8310 curve… and to be honest , it was probably the smartest choice I have ever made when it comes to cell phones. Knowing nothing about the handset at all I started by …switching the handset on, and immediately It took me through the Blackberry setup wizard, running through the wizard it sets up the handset brilliantly and everything is done, pin code is detected immediately, time line, preferred language, text language ...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

...with 3G (BlackBerry Bold, a.k.a. BlackBerry 9000 will offer it indefinitely when it comes out later this year for AT&T); no video recorder available (ouch!) Summary: The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8310 (AT&T) is perhaps the best phone on the market; however, it relinquishes that title with the loss of 3G support and video recorder, which make this phone a devout underachiever. But with superior call quality (even better on speakerphone!), video/audio ...
...options key (with the signature BlackBerry emblem on it), versatile trackball, back key and end/power off key (left to right). The screen is the right size for a smartphone (320 x 240) and features a beautiful array of 64 K colors. The left side of the phone includes a regulation sized 3.5 mm headset jack (the phone comes with a superb headset that is perfect for listening to audio), a mini-USB connecting port that can fit the battery charger or ...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

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 ...
...the palm of your hand and it is slim as well and fits easily in my shirt pocket. Battery life is very long and will easily last a week with medium use. The Qwerty keyboard has the standard functions which means you can produce an e-mail with ease as the keys are where you mostly expect them. The downside of the keyboard is it is so small that my thumbs find it hard to type easily, and the shift keys are not obvious to use resulting in numbers ...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

...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 phone had software provided too, but it was much fiddlier and the menus were not nearly as simple. 3) The ability to check e-mail, ...
...is a God-send. 6) Blackberry Messenger. I mentioned this before but this actually needs a whole point dedicated to it. I have several close friends with different types of Blackberrys and it saves me many, many texts from my contract allowance by using this application. It is instant messenging, for those who don't know it, but between Blackberry users only. To add contacts you must exchange your Blackberry PIN number (given to you when you get ...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

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 ...
...phone and maybe get another blackberry that does have wifi. what i did notice with mine is after a while it looks very tatty from scratches not because i mis-treat it because the phone picks them up quite well and because of the colour. the camera is pretty rubbish at 2mp and there is no video recorder. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE PHONE: the cursor is very nice for moving around the qwerty keyboard is fast and easy to use it has a lot of apps all blackberry ...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

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; ...
...lost anymore. With Blackberry Phone, I can send message besides using ordinary text message, I also can send it through Blackberry Messenger and also chatting with my friends and family using Yahoo Messenger without any cost anymore. There are so many interesting menus in this Blackberry Phone; the one that very famous now is Facebook, where you can get connected with your friend, updating you status, profile, commented on their status and also you ...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

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 ...
...a phone, is fantastic, with all pages easily viewable, and is great when you need to search for information on the go. On another note, the phone came with a 1gb memory, which meant I could load roughly 200 songs onto the device, and have emails, music and internet at my fingertips, as well as the the real reason for the phone, being able to call people ;) ...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

...decision to upgrade to a Blackberry - but i needed to receive and send emails on the move - and i felt this was my easiest option. In short - i love it! Look and Feel/Ease of use This is a great looking phone, slick, and smart. It is also surprisingly light (111g) and extremely easy to use. As a typist, having access to a full keyboard is heaven and the keys for me are big enough to easily write quickly. It has a perfectly sized screen so you can ...
...expandable memory, voice dialing and BlackBerry Maps. Of course there is also email, text messaging, instant messaging and internet access. As the email function was the main reason for me purchasing the phone i was concerned about how easy it would be to set up but i need not have worried. Within 24 hours of me receiving my Blackberry, my email was set up and working perfectly. I particularly like the fact that you also don't have to keep checking ...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

...I can say is this blackberry is the most reliable phone I have ever had. It gives me everything I possibly need as well as the added safety of a satnav/gprs. It is extremely light and portable and although looks big it fits comfortable into my hand and the qwerty keyboard means texting and emailing is as quick as it is on a regular computer. Not being a business woman I do admit that some of the facilities I do not always make full use of. But once ...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

In my opinion the RIM Blackberry Curve 8310 is a fantastic phone for both Business or Personal use. The initial set-up process is simple and easy to follow. Adding contacts can be a little tricky but once you get used to the phone, its relatively easy. SMS, MMS etc all work in the same way as other mobiles. The only negative comments I have are regarding the GPS option which, can be a little slow and is not so effective as a standard Sat Nav; I would ...

Review of Blackberry Curve 8310

Finally.. after years of "normal" mobile phones I bit the bullet and switched over to the world of Blackberry. This is a great phone.. small & light. Initial setting up of the phone is a little bit hit and miss but you get there in the end.. The setting up of email accounts is very easy though and the forwarding of emails is invaluable to me.. Features include MP3 player, internet browsing, Maps, GPS satnav(mine is free..) and easy to use facebook ...
...this is a great phone to customise for tones, alarms etc.. I love it.. Handling is good but the left hand side of the QWERTY keyboard can get a bit fiddly if you are using shift for the numbers.. and I havn't even got big hands. Sound quality is excellent for calls. If you need a good phone and need to get your email.. this is the fella. ...
