 Best AT&T Smartphone out there November 17, 2007

This is the best smartphone I have ever had. I purchased the 8300 but swapped it out for an 8310 when it became available. GPS works great both with Google Maps and the TeleNav service. Disabled PTT if you don't use it and the phone will run much faster. Multimedia features do the job and the Roxio software makes managing your songs easier.
 Don't buy this unless you're a computer engineer November 14, 2007

I just spent an hour on the phone with AT&T trying to figure out why this device, which once received e-mail, no longer does. Their tech guy finally said he doesn't understand this phone all that well. Blackberry doesn't provide any technical support other than an impenetrable website.
I really, really regret buying this machine.
No problem with rebate as an existing customer....I'm in love! November 10, 2007

This is my first Blackberry. Two years ago I bought a Razr (Cingular) on Amazon, my two year contract had been fulfilled and I was on a month to month. I was concerned about the "fine print" in Amazon's description and read other postings online from folks wondering if they would qualify. I emailed Amazon as well as AT&T and received confirmation that yes, I would qualify if I renewed a two year contract. So, having been hesitant about giving up my beloved Razr, I went for the Blackberry. And am I happy about that decision! The first few days I couldn't receive email (there was a glitch on the Blackberry end) but the wonderful customer service people at AT&T helped me resolve it. (Prior to the Razr, I had been a Verizon customer for many years, I totally think that Cingular/AT&T service is a kazillion times better). I have downloaded a great free ringtone from www.crackberry.com, transferred some music files (it sounds great, and I'm a 57 year old female addicted to my iPod); the voice sound quality is much better on the phone than the Razr. I was concerned I would have to pull out my reading glasses every time I got an email but I reset the typeface to a larger font and hey, "no problemo". I also transferred all of my Outlook Contacts and Calendar and it's convenient having that info handy. I also like the voice dialing, which is useful when you're driving, plus it will auto dial a number plus the extension. So, if it sounds like I'm having a love affair, I am! I am totally enamored with my new Blackberry. Hope I am still into gadgets when I'm 90! Kudos to Amazon and Cingular/AT&T.
 business powerhouse - needs 3G November 4, 2007

I have had mine for 6 months now and still love it. I travel extensively for business, so this review comes from a consultant that wails on it hard, has used it in most airports across the US, traveled in Mexico and Europe with it along with 'casual' use. I was on VZW and had two WinBlowz(R) Mobile devices - both sucked. Three (3) Moto Q's died on me (known issue) and I had a Treo 700wx that VZW offered as a replacement device. It was a battery guzzling brick which I hated - wouldn't make it through an entire day. Terrified to switch to Cingular/ATT from previous horror stories, I took the plunge anyway. Could not be happier. Call quality is good/very good and reception generally very good. Battery life outstanding. I'm emailing all day, generally spend an hour or more talking and still haven't had it die on me yet. With more 'normal' usage, I'll get through 2 days without recharging, if not more. Onboard GPS is awesome - I took this over battery guzzling Wi-Fi on TMOb (both have advantages & disadvantages). Get the rental, fire up TeleNav, you're off. Media works fine, not my primary concern. EDGE is slow, but it works. Next-gen will be 3G so that'll be a plus. OS stability has been flawless - Blackberries just flat out work which explains why they're such an overwhelming favorite among business professionals who demand results, not another crappy product from MS. Build quality has become slightly suspect - the bottom 'chin' panel is starting to feel a little loose, nothing that has impacted performance. You have to use a BB for a little to truly appreciate it - the holster has a magnet which puts the device in 'standby' mode (saves power). You set the profiles so that (in my case) holster is vibrate for everything. Never worry about having your cell phone ring in a meeting again, since mine stays in my holster 99% of the time, it never interrupts loudly. I wish regular keyboards had as many usefull shortcuts (instead of having to type a period then space for the next sentance, just hit the space bar twice). Spell checking - duh? Wonderful. 3rd party apps available for anything you want, it supports hi-cap next-gen SD cards - up to 16GB currently. New battery costs $25 and you can change it yourself in 30 seconds or less. Try that with an iPhone. Gripes? Trackball can collect lint & fail (holster helps a lot in preventing that). Speakerphone nothing to write home about. Camera not great, doesn't shoot video yet (next OS is going to fix that). Deperately needs 3G, apparently all ATT phones will be such by 3Q 2008 (gee, little late guys?). Anyway, I'm a Crackberry convert and have not found a better phone for my uses yet. Can't wait for the 9000 or whatever is down the road.
Best Smartphone on the Market October 27, 2007

This device does it all. It is robust, has a great keyboard, bright screen and is intuitive. It is a productivity machine, but also thin and sports both GPS and a 2MP camera. I initially wanted the iPhone, but after trying both out, the keyboard on the 8310 is far superior. Also, the push email system is more advanced, and with removable battery, SIM card, storage, it is more flexible.
