Best Phone I'ver EVER owned
18 years ago
This review will be like a lot of other reviews on this site, but it's the truth. This BlackBerry is really one of the best phones not just that I've owned, but that I've ever used or seen. I almost got an iPhone, but I liked the feel of a tactile keyboard. I almost got some other Windows Mobile based phone, but once you start using the BlackBerry OS, the interface is just so easy to use, you start to wonder why other phones make doing similar tasks so complicated. All the options you want are right where you expect them to be. It's really hard to explain, you just need to go to the store and get your hands on it to really see the benefit of it. Try adding appointments or tasks, sending a text. Once you use it for a few minutes, everything seems like a breeze.
I didn't really need a phone for the internet, just wanted something with a full keyboard for texting, but all the other features are just so awesome I can't put the phone down. Here are some other things I use it for:
-The scroll wheel works just like a mouse. I love how you can hold shift and scroll the wheel to highlight text to copy and paste. You can also adjust the speed of the scroll wheel. Some people like it fast, some like it slow, take your pick.
-Texting is a breeze, and like the Palm it organizes your texts with people as conversations, so you can easily see what you or the other person have said previously.
-The keyboard is really well laid out. The space between the keys minimizes wrong key strokes or hitting two keys at once. There's also a nifty autotext function, where you can edit the dictionary with words you commonly misspell, or you can put something like "ive" and make it automatically change this to "I've".
-I organize all my calendar and appointments with ease. This was my most important feature while I was phone shopping. It amazes me that other phones make this process so complicated. The BlackBerry system is designed to get you right to where you need as quickly as possible. There's no point middling through menus and submenus. Open the calendar for today, scroll to the time and just start typing a new appointment. It's that simple.
-The task list is separate from the memo pad and calendar, and is SUPER useful for making to-do lists for yourself, and allows you to track them to closure. You can give the tasks statuses like Not Started or In Progress.
-Since it has a regular 3.5mm headset jack, you can plug in any regular headphones, or use the included two-ear headset. I listen to mp3's in my car through my stereo's auxiliary jack, and at my desk with regular headphones. Sound quality is really good.
-I take a bunch of pictures, the camera is really good for a phone.
-And since it has a USB jack, you can just plug it to your computer and it acts like a jump drive, so any media (music, videos, pictures, etc) can be dragged and dropped in Windows. It's all so simple and intuitive.
-The included BlackBerry software CD allows you to back up all your calendar, contacts, etc. Great if you're switching phones, or if you just want to be safe, like if you have a lot of contacts.
-The battery life is really good, and it's great that you can just plug it into your computer (assuming that computer has the BlackBerry software installed) with any USB wire that you'd use with a digital camera to charge it up, in case you don't have your AC adapter with you. On a full charge I can go about 3 days with average use, including calls, texts, calendar use and mp3 playback.
-The screen has a light sensor, so it can tell if your surroundings have a lot of light or not, and automatically makes the screen brighter or darker, or turns the keyboard backlight on or off.
-Clarity with my bluetooth headset is great. And the voice dialing works better than anything I've seen. You don't have to make a voice print of you saying everyone's name in your phone book. You just say the name as it's shown in your phone book and it automatically matches your voice to the contact name.
-The speakerphone works really well. I've stood about 6 feet away from the phone and it picks up my voice just fine.
-Call quality is really good, too. Haha, that's how great this phone is. I went through all the features in my head about how good this phone is and the last one I thought of is call quality. Not because it's bad or anything, but b/c the phone does all the things I've wanted in a smartphone, and never makes you feel dumb for trying to use them all.
So many of the menus and features are customizable that you really feel like the phone is your own. You look at the phone the way you like to look at it, not just the way the designer wanted.
The only thing I didn't like was that I sometimes move faster than the phone can keep up with. Like, if I'm going quickly from one feature to the next, the hourglass will spin for a second or two as it tries to catch up. It's a minor annoyance that I'll gladly put up with to have such an otherwise great device. I've always owned Samsung products before this phone, but now I don't know if I'll ever be able to not have a BlackBerry. Kudos to RIM.
Sorry for the length, this was a lot longer than I intended, but I'm just really excited about this phone after my first month of use. There's a reason the average review score is so high for this phone. Check out cnet or phonearena if you don't believe me.

This phone is not that great.
17 years ago
With all the new phones coming out this year 2009, this phone is old. I have had mine for about 8 months or so now I believe and I am not impressed with it at all. The battery life I must say is really good and overall the phone is just alright. However, the little rolling ball in the phone gets dust in it and causes it not to scroll in certain directions until it is cleaned out, and it is not fun cleaning it. There are very small plastic pieces in which you may break so be careful. In addition, if you are sweating or the ball gets a little wet it does not work that great either. I right now would prefer a touch screen over this. I also feel as though the phones software is really slow and it sometimes hangs on websites and all you see is an hour glass for 10 minutes. This is just a heads up for those of you who may think this is the best phone out there.

pretty good overall
15 years ago
i really like this phone, it has a long battery life and its really durable. I've dropped it numerous times and its still in good shape. I also accidentally dropped it in the toilet and it fell into a pool. I let it dry and worked fine after. however, the little ball in the center would mess up now and then and now it just doesn't scroll down. the camera worked really well, the pics came out pretty clear, but now the camera works when it wants to. i don't know if it's because its been in the water.

The BB 8310 is a great phone . . .
15 years ago
There is only one exception and that is, at on my 8310 which I've had for about a year and half doesn't have Wi-Fi like the previous person had stated his had or that it was capable of. I do love my phone, but it would be even better if it did have Wi-Fi. =)

BB Curve 8310

I have had this phone for the past two yrs and wish I had bought it sooner. Very light weight and I'm able to set up multiple email accounts that I can view from the phone. It allows me real time response to emails for work. EZ to use computer based programs to add music, pictures, and manage my address book as well as OUTLOOK calendar. Trust me will like it.
