 Great phone July 29, 2008
I upgraded to this phone when my AT&T contract was up for renewal. I got it because I used my old phone to remind me of EVERYTHING, and I figured that this Blackberry would be even better at just that.
It sure is! It has been a great phone so far, with very usable features that keep me informed on everything that I need to keep up with. I can organize my calendar on Office, and then sync it to the Curve so that all my assignments, appointments and things to do are neatly organized and ready to inform me when they're due.
I especially like the "auto-on/off" feature, as it saves valuable battery life and also prevents anyone from waking me up at night. With this feature, my phone lasts an average of 4 days per charge after owning it for about 3 months.
The GPS is great, especially when paired with the Google maps app. It's awesome to be able to get directions based upon your current location!
The camera is very high quality. The images are very sharp and "un-phone-like". I like the flash option too! I wish there was a video mode like my old LG CU500 (great phone too, by the way).
Overall, it has been a durable phone that I feel will suit me very well until I am up for another renewal.
The only downside I have is that there is a bit of dust underneath the lens of the phone that I will have to open up the phone to remove. Not anything major, just a little annoyance. Also, the rubber siding is great for absorbing bumps, but not so great for pulling the phone out of your pocket (it sticks).
But the Curve comes highly recommended from me. Make sure to get a MicroSD card so you can store extra pictures and music! Well worth the money.
 Solid and Reliable July 26, 2008
The Blackberry curve is a solid, reliable phone. The construction is just right - weight, form factor, display, keyboard. Feels just the right weight in the hand and doesn't feel like slipping away. Just the right size and thickness. The display is adequate though I like the bigger screen area of the iPhone that my wife has. The keyboard is QWERTY which is great and has each letter on it's own key. The keyboard is obviously small for my thick fingers. Tactile feedback is great for those who text or email from the device; especially while breaking the law and doing so while driving! Have to do it - right? else how will we ever push America's productivity higher and higher :)
The voice is CLEAR both on and off the speakerphone. This is one of the greatest features a phone should have - that is what a phone is meant for anyway, to hear the voice clearly. In contrast, the iPhone's speakerphone quality (that of the first generation) left me much, much to be desired. My wife just doesn't use the iPhone's speakerphone at all! The voice quality will differ from the service provider I guess. I do hear flakiness or tin-like quality in the voice sometimes which I think is due to the service.
The signature email service is just the best on the planet. No company can beat this feature. The wireless sync is magical as I see my email on the device even before it appears on my Outlook client. I rarely have to use my personal email on the desktop as anyway most of it is junk (!) and I can clear it from my device.
Worth every penny I paid for it; you should get a deal where you don't pay for the phone. I don't have a choice as my company doesn't pay for the device. I was also considering the Samsung Blackjack, but heard that the Windows mobile devices create a LOT of data traffic if you use emails. If you are travelling international and not on a unlimited data plan, you might want to consider just this fact alone in choosing the Blackberry.
Viewing Microsoft documents though is not that very useful. I don't use my device for this, so it doesn't matter to me. Though I use the phone for work, I like to have a camera in the phone. I don't snap pictures, but in an emergency such as an accident, having a camera handy will be of a great advantage. The 2 MP camera works great and it has a flash too. I too some pictures at Citizen's park during a Phillies game and it turned out great! The browser is so-so, but again I don't use it that much. You should download Google maps onto the device; it is very, very useful if you are travelling. The AT&T maps that came on the device is okay; go Google!
I haven't exploited it on the device. Only once did it reset by iteslf, otherwise, loving it so far!
Best phone I've ever owned July 17, 2008
I'm not one to review products, but I relied heavily on other's reviews before buying the Curve. I had followed some of the latest fads (i.e.- RAZR) with my last couple of purchases, and was incredibly disappointed with their performance. After reading the reviews for the BB Curve, I took the plunge and have been very pleased for the past 8 months. I rarely lose calls (that are on my end) and the clarity is excellent. I had used a separate PDA before, and while the BB doesn't have all of the functions, the idea of not having to carry two devices far outweighed the negatives.
All in all, I am very pleased with the Curve, and would highly recommend it.
This is a great phone all around. July 11, 2008
Buy it you will not be disappointed. The best phone ever. As for those who think the small keyboard has almost caused them an automobile accident, you should know better. It's not the phone, it's the driver and besides you should not be calling and driving at the same time. Holds a charge forever and works flawlessly.
Looks smart and great to have. Works good with data plan, as it has no wireless feature. July 4, 2008

BB Curve 8310 is good to have and works well with data plan. It would be good if it has wireless feature also.
