User Submitted BlackBerry Curve 8310 Smartphone Titanium (AT&T) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-01-13 Beats the i-phone hands down This is a great phone with perfectly adequate media functions (MP3, camera, etc). It also has GPS which integrates with Google maps so that you see a little flashing dot where you are on the map; Okay so it doesn't have satellite accuracy but it it satisfies all my needs. Its not as flashy as the i-phone but the keyboard is much better and it has everything you need to make you a Crackberry addict. Date: 2008-01-12 Best Blackberry yet Awesome. An improvement over the excellent 8700. Sleeker and easier to use. Trackball is more versatile than the old thumbwheel. GPS works well with Google Maps. Date: 2008-01-04 Great Phone but Rim Voids Warranty through Amazon Its not very clear in the product description but RIM ONLY offers its one-year warranty as long as the product was bought through an actual service provider (like ATT). For devices sold through 3rd party resellers (like amazon) they offer NO warranty whatsoever (check out the return policy on Rims website).. Unfortunately, amazon only offers 30 days warranty and AT&T wont offer anything for devices bought somewhere else. As it was explained to be my RIM a support manager, my best option is to pay 349 to AT&T for a refurbished replacement, which also happens to resets my 2 year contract. Personally, the 175 cancellation fee seems much more reasonable. The phone itself is great, but if it breaks you are clearly on your own. Date: 2007-12-26 A review from a devoted blackberry user The 8310 is my third Blackberry, before this one I had the 8300, and got this one because it has a better screen and GPS. Blackberry is not fancy like the iphone, but it is easy to use and pretty self explainitory. Blackberries are great for people who are professionals, or even students. This a wonderful phone, everything is very organized and easy to understand, unlike the 8300, this has clearer, brighter more varied colors. The track ball is easy to use, and the full qwerty keyboard coming in handy for writing e-mails or texts. It offers the setup wizard which well easily help you set up the phone including linking it to your e-mail, it was very easy to link my yahoo mail onto this and check it in one click. The camera is pretty good, but not as good as something like the iphone, but cameras arn't really what people buy blackberries for. Date: 2007-12-21 Generally excellent This is my first time with a PDA/phone and find it to be extremely useful. Great sound quality on calls, no more dropped calls, and easy switching from application to application. Easy retrival of email. It's there already!! The music player sound is as good as my ipod, although Itunes software is far superior to Roxio. I bought this model to have access to its GPS capability. From that respect, I am disappointed. The Tel-Nav system leaves an awful lot to be desired. Too many times it took me off a highway only to put me right back on. It has no clue as to traffic conditions. Many times it wanted to re-route me because of "heavy traffic ahead" and fortunately I ignored the advice and continued on at the posted speed limit throughout my trip. This is not a hit on the phone itself but it is to say that if you are thinking about buying this phone for this feature, you should think twice.
