User Review for BlackBerry Curve 8310

« See all reviews

Great Email and Messanging Device

Oct 9, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Very User Friendly GUI, Good Keypad, Nice Screen, Sleek Design, Good GPS and Navigation
Cons: Camera and Internet Browser could be better, No Wifi, No 3G
Opinion:
Just bought the 8310 Crimson Red two weeks ago. And I love this mobile phone.

With many (Indonesian) operators providing Blackberry for individuals (BIS), many people have been attracted to use the BB service and handset.

The most updated OS version (v.4.5.0.55.81) allows the recording video capability, HTML viewing for emails, and integrated Docs To Go (Word and Power Point). You will also get Excel (sheet to go) once registered to Dataviz.

Loved the Integrated GPS and Maps. In my experience it locks faster and more stable than my Nokia N95 8Gb built-in GPS. THe NOkia has better/nice looking map though.

BB could certainly have better Internet Browser than what they're offering here but you can always install Opera Mini for better looking and functional browser.
