BlackBerry Curve 8310 (AT&T Wireless)

The original BlackBerry Curve was a huge success, and RIM decided to play the Curve game again and build in GPS
with the Curve 8310. Does it offer enough "bang" to upgrade? Find out after the jump.

The Curve 8310 still has the same 2.4 inch screen, the same killer keyboard, the same 2 megapixel camera, and the same thin and light form factor we've come to love. The major difference is that the 8310 has GPS functionality built-in provided by TeleNav and the Curve now comes in two colors, titanium and red. The $9.99 per month service allows you to get full GPS coverage with a standalone GPS, but brings it into the smartphone realm so you don't have to lug around two devices.

The 8310 still is a great phone, the call quality is excellent and the speakerphone is very loud. It's 2 megapixel camera is still the not the best, producing somewhat soft images both indoors and out. The media player is pretty basic, but it probably isn't the main use of such a business-oriented phone. We're still kind of wondering why the MicroSD card slot is still behind the battery though, but we're happy they stuck with the 3.5 mm headset jack (why get rid of it?).

Web surfing isn't the best experience, and doesn't offer the same formatting you would receive on say, an iPhone or your notebook computer.

Using the TeleNav GPS Navigator in the Sacramento area and it worked great. Some nice features were the ability to use the GPS in pedestrian mode, since it's much more portable than a regular GPS mode. We also liked that it asked for what route style we wanted: fastest, traffic optimized, shortest, prefer streets, prefer highway, or pedestrian.

One feature we would have liked on the 8310 is 3G support for high-speed data connectivity, are we still living in an EDGE world? Overall, the BlackBerry Curve line of devices still impresses us, from the unprecedented email capabilities, to the sleek design. If you don't need GPS however, stick with your current Curve 8300 until a larger upgrade becomes available. The BlackBerry Curve 8310 is available today from AT&T for $149 with a 2-year contract.

Pros
* Sleek and light design.
* Built-in GPS capability.
* Loud speakerphone, decent call quality.

Cons
* Still no 3G support.
* MicroSD slot still behind the battery.

excellent transaction, quick and easy. the product came in just as described in a timely manner. the product was good as new.

b/cmine broke but this one is amazing!! the blackberry is advanced and i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i like the blackberry o.s. better than windows mobile. The simplicity that blackberry sticks to gives the iphone a run for its money. However, being the original blackberry device its purpose was to bring the internet and email to your phone. convenience is still a number one for blackberry; instead of focusing on apps and other aspects they stay simple and true to the consumer. overall, great product would highly recommend the blackberry curve.

This is a good phone. Does basic cell phone items.
Plus it does have email, internet and text messaging utilities.
The design is not an Iphone but it does the job.
It is a good quality product with possibility to upgrade with a memory card. You can store images, Mp3 music, etc.
I do like my blackberry curve.

I really love this device. It allows me to have access to communications at work and for personal use without having to have a laptop and then locate a space with Wi-fi. I travel alot so having GPS on the phone is handy, as it allows me to find places wether I'm driving or walking. I decided to purchase this item for those reasons mainly. After going to the store to price this BlackBerry i found it was $400.00 without a contract and even with a new 2-year contract I was still $99.99 after the rebates.

Perfect condition. The phone was brand new with no marks or scratches. The phone is still working in perfect condition. It has all the regular programs in it and eveything works well. The phone came with extra peices.

I text a lot so I want something that I can type like I was typing on the keyboard, blackberry had what I needed.

The "Curve" takes some getting used to; however, overall, it is a very easy phone to use. The best way to understand its features is to just play with it. Directions for its use are a bit obscure. The only other issues is that the letters, numbers and symbols on the keys are very small. It does afford one with many diverse and useful features. I am glad I made the purchase and would recommend this phone to others.

The phone was as described with no battery, and scuff marks on the face. That was O.K. with me, however, he claimed it " was in like new condition". I purchased a battery for the phone for $ 41.00, tried two other batteries, and it will not recognize any battery making it totally useless.
Buyer beware I guess?????
Thanks,

The cell phone had more serious scratches and nicks than described. I was debating about whether I should have filed a claim. But I considered it a lesson learned.

I decided to buy it as a replacement for my iPhone. I prefered the better reliability of the BlackBerry Curve 8310 and its keypad over the iPhone's touch screen.

Love this BlackBerry. It was in EXCELLENT condition (practically new). It was shipped promptly and arrived in excellent time. Excellent Seller and product!

I recently bought a blackberry 8310.
I love this phone! Surfing the net on it is super easy and fast. This phone is very functional! Im new to blackberrys, havent done much research on them and my purchase didnt come with an owners manual, but this phone is so easy to use. I figured most things out on my own! The screen is nice and big! face book on this phone is really fun to use!

The only complaint i have on this phone is just recently (within the last few days) my alarm stoped working right. the alarm still goes off at the right time, but no sound! The sound on my phone is still on, i know this because my ringer still works.
Other then that, this phone is great! i recommend it to everyone who uses the internet frequently!!!

This is a great affordable blackberry whether you are using it for business or pleasure. The emails are pushed to the phone for instant viewing and typing is extremely easy. The battery life will last all day even with heavy use. I would strongly recommend this blackberry to anyone.

This was a very good transaction! The seller described the item perfectly! We were impressed with the condition of the phone and would definitely buy from this seller again!

Blackberry the name is enough in cell phone's world. I most like it's price. It's approx 9000/- INRs. I can very easily afford it.

The utility is great. I like to e able to schedule appts and play videos, take pics and also has great sound quality.

I love the full keyboard for texting. Great size and weight love the holster that protects it and extends the charge of the battery. Love all the options of internet and email!!
