Cons: No way to import email addresses

DISCLAIMER! This is not a technical review. There are plenty of ways to see the technological side of a Blackberry Curve 8310 Smartphone both here on epinions and elsewhere. I, on the other hand, am a simple end-user who is reviewing my ...

Pros: Email Monster!
Cons: No Streaming Video or Recording Capability, WiFi or 3G Support

I recently decided to change over from my Palm Treo to a BlackBerry while looking into the Motorola Q and Samsung Blackjack. After a thorough review of the three, I decided to go with the Curve for its email capability, size and battery ...

Pros: Core functionality; battery life; display
Cons: Poor ergonomics

I’ve reviewed several BlackBerry devices over the past few years.  After discarding my first-generation BlackBerry as a clunky annoyance, I have become a steady (if slow) adopter of the RIM's ...

Pros: New update to OS (4.5) makes Blackberry Curve a very useful and full featured phone.
Cons: Weak gps, washed out screen, must purchase a blackberry plan.

[editor's update Jan 17,'09: I added a very important update at the end of this review.  New OS update really improves The Blackberry Curve.  Probably should redo the review, but I'll leave the original anyway. ]I work for a company ...

Pros: A large screen and easily managed e-mail make it a good business tool.
Cons: Confusing menus, poor data transfer speed and small keys.

A few months ago I was issued a Blackberry Curve for work. As a result I’ve become addicted to checking my e-mail at odd hours of the day (and night), but I’ve also got a pretty good scoop on what does and what doesn’t work well in one ...

Pros: Very reliable, works as its supposed to, smart phone
Cons: Trackball has locked up, occasional reset.

Its so strange how things end up sometimes.  Back two jobs ago, I wanted a Treo smartphone more than anything...so much so that I volunteered to be the organization's trainer, just so they'd issue me one.  I got mine and the more I got to use ...

Pros: Improved functionality and new features such as: camera, GPS, spell check for email.

Cons: none that I can think of

I got the Curve 8310 for Christmas and it is the best phone/toy/computer I have ever owned. It has literally everything that I need in terms of phone service, games, news, and other applications. Phone: The quality of the calls is excellent, and the ...

Pros: Professional phone, qwerty keyboard, other bonus features such as games & media.
Cons: Doesn't take video, setup was a little confusing, needs to reboot sometimes.

I had a Motorola Razor and I had a Sony PDA, so I decided it was time to reduce the number of electronic devices I carried during the day. I must admit that my purchase was more of an impulse buy and that I didn't do as much research as I usually do ...

Pros: Inexpensive, good Internet, QWERTY keyboard.
Cons: Can't synch with Outlook, trackball makes noise.

I bought this phone for $58.88 at Wal-Mart as part of a contract renewal. Overall I've been pleased with it. I have encountered some problems with it.The first phone they gave me didn't work and they had to exchange it. We had problems with the ...

Pros: Quick messaging, easy interface
Cons: Slightly thick/bulky, sensitive keys

This product is truly one behemoth of a cell phone. But it's not really a cell phone. How can it be called a mere cell phone when it is able to do so much more? I believe this product is absolutely a necessity for the busy worker bee who always needs to ...

Pros: Slim, light design, easy and fun to use!
Cons: The rolling ball is hard to get used to.

This phone is easy to carry, fun to use. I like how I can get on aim and MySpace on my phone. I also like that the camera on this phone has flash when I use the camera. I like how the keyboard on this phone lights up so I can use it in the dark. I also ...

Pros: Great email application, no issues with the AT&T service, nice extras like the GPS.
Cons: Poor web browsing, inadequate voice dialing

Let me start out by saying, I love my Blackberry and I can't imagine life without it now that I have constant access to email and phone. Email is by far the most important feature for me and if I were to rate the Blackberry on that feature alone, I ...

Long lasting battery
Aftermarket accesories
Google tools
